The Orioles are still very much in the AL Wild Card hunt. What do we make of the bullpen construction? Does Mark Trumbo hate fun? Is Jonathan Schoop an MVP?
It was an up-and-down week, so this episode of Bird's Eye View spans all of the emotions. We go Around the Bases and reference the Brady Brunch (sorry).
Another game in which the Orioles snatched defeat from the claws of victory. I thought it might cheer me up to write about the game I wish I had seen, instead.
It's been a while since a four-day break without baseball has seemed so welcome. The Orioles limp into the All Star Break on the back of Jonathan Schoop.
Sometimes the BEV guys talk each other off the ledge. In Episode 208, they quietly encourage the other closer to the brink. It's been a fun week. Buy, sell, and wave the white flag.
