Leading Off















After taking a vote, we ended the podcast shutdown, and got down to some very non-essential business. We’re joined by @thedishwasher for a not-so-hard look at the offseason.

Mr. Bluesky

















Mike Elias said yesterday the Orioles will be in the mix on the Japanese market. “If you’re an East Coast team, it’s a little bit of a disadvantage. … But I think with Sugano, we’ve demonstrated we can be a destination, and we’re going to keep working on that.”— Andy Kostka (@afkostka.bsky.social) 2025-11-13T17:14:31 .930Z

Paul Tagliabue died. I hope they use his life insurance to build another museum or something. #RestInPiss— Earl F***ing Weaver (@earlfckinweaver.bsky.social) 2025-11-09T18:37:09 .509Z

I am eager for one of our coaches to do an in-game segment during games like Wayne Kirby did with “What’sCooking with Kirby”My hope is it’s Jason Bourgeois reading passages from Babbit in a segment called, “Rebeling Against Bourgeois”— Bird's Eye View – An Orioles Podcast (@birdseyeviewbal.bsky.social) 2025-11-13T23:00:09 .641Z

































Around the Bases























First Base: The World Series







In which we begrudgingly agree that the Jays/Dodgers series was entertaining, and good for baseball. Have the Dodgers become Yankees-level problematic?







Second Base: We have a manager







Gigi Albernaz’s dad has been announced the next manager of the Baltimore Orioles. We talk about how bad/ok/good this move is, and what to make of the coaches who have been retained and who have not.







Third Base: Cy Rogers







Speaking of problematic, Trevor Rogers received a single Cy Young Award vote… from a writer who is employed by the Baltimore Orioles. That silliness aside, he had a great partial season, and deserved someone to give him a fifth-place vote. It… just would have been nice to have the call come from outside the house.
