Around the Bases with Matt Taylor

Matt Taylor (@roarfrom34) joins us for his usual (usual? yeah, we’ll go with usual) Spring Training visit. Matt’s work at The Roar From 34 and his new, excellent podcast I Was There is a must for Orioles fans.

First Base: World Baseball Classic

• It was delightful to see Gunnar Henderson represent himself and the Orioles well
• Mark DeRosa – the manager Birdland never had?
• ABS on the WBC horizon
• The future of the WBC, as baseball returns to the Olympics

Second Base: Light Rosterbation

• They did WHAT do Dean Kremer?
• Who is the last man in the bullpen?

Third Base: Tradition! (Tradition)

We talk The Baseball Beer, Orioles Magic, and white guy dancing.

Home Plate: Prediction! (Prediction)

There are optimists, there are pessimists, and then there are Orioles fans. We laugh and cry our way through trying to figure out what will happen this year. We predict:

• Orioles W/L Record
• Division Finish
• Playoff In/Out
• Playoff Result
• MVO
• Biggest Disappointment
• Surprise Player (good OR bad – never ugly)
