Leading Off

This one sat in the can for a couple of days, and man… a lot can happen in a short period of time, early in the season!

Around the Bases

First Base: Culture Club

When things are going bad, does it seem like the O’s have problems that go beyond the field? We get in our emotions about the Orioles’ emotions.

Second Base: Pitching Yikes

The O’s have made excellent use of their peripheral starting pitching. Hopefully that periphery does not need to be exposed for too long.

The starters the team expected to depend on have not impressed (due to injury or performance…), and we don’t know what to make of it – small sample size, or the next chapter of the same story?

Home Plate: A Matter of Perspective

We wonder aloud whether the day games in Chicago impacted the fans’ perspective on how the season is going. Basically, if the team falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear it…

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
