Leading Off















Are the Orioles good? No? Could they be? No? Bummer.















Trade Deficit























We go sans format to talk about the day’s Orioles news. The Birds swept a doubleheader, which made us wonder if the Orioles were good. And if they were not good, if they could be good. And if they could not be good, then… what?







We also discuss the departure of Bryan Baker, and what the return haul (a 37th pick) means for the Orioles’ stable of draft picks in 2025.















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.
