So guys, what’s a “Bird’s Eye View?”

When it comes to the Orioles, this is your official source for a lack of insight, and baseless opinion. 

It’s not just a stupid tagline, it’s our whole approach to the podcast. We don’t “cover the team” or “break news.” And we certainly don’t try to pass ourselves off as experts (who would believe us?). We’re genuine Orioles fans, who love talking Baltimore sports – from hard stats to impassioned hyperbole. Baseball is supposed to be fun, and the magic of Orioles baseball is unlike any other experience. It is through that lens that we offer our perspective: Bird’s Eye View will entertain, (very) occasionally inform, and more often than not, validate a little homerism.

Jake English

Jake has what might best be described as an Orioles “problem.” No matter how poorly the team treated him during the long losing streak, he just kept coming back for more. As the show’s optimist, he constantly looks for the silver lining in any terrible outcome. Whereas he acknowledges the value of advanced metrics, he thinks the pendulum has swung completely too far, and likes to balance statistical analysis with what he can see with his own two eyes.

Be warned: there is no length to which he won’t go for a pun. Such men can be dangerous.

Away from the podcast, Jake lives in Harford County with his beautiful (not to mention, tolerant) wife and two amazing kids. Some day, he’d like to build a boat. He loves reading, the Beatles, and he excels at pretending he’s not a grown up.

Scott Magness 

Scott is a fan during the dark time of Orioles baseball.  After only witnessing three playoff seasons during his life (1996, 1997, and 2012), he remains cynical and skeptical of the brighter times ahead.

Likes: Jim Palmer, Brian Roberts’ wife, and OPS.

Dislikes:  The Bunt, Designated Closers, and of course the MFY.The Bird-O-Sphere
