2015 BEVys

Welcome to the 2015 BEVy Awards. The BEVys are a loving (and occasionally scathing) look back at the first half of Orioles baseball. We, along with some of our friends in the Bird-O-Sphere, recap the season so far, and look ahead to the second half.

Our opening is as melodic as always, which is to say that we should stick to our day jobs. As with each episode of Bird’s Eye View, we go through and expanded version of an old favorite:

 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

GBU2

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Offense
  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Defense
  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Pitching
  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Potpourri

Thanks!

The BEVys, and Bird’s Eye View as a whole, would not be possible without the support of friends, family, and colleagues. We would especially like to thank the following:

  • The Voice of the BEVys, ‘Jovial’ Jay Shepard. You can get more from ‘Jovial’ Jay by visiting RandomChatter.com where he and Josh host podcasts discussing the television shows Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter weekly during the TV season, or by visiting Forcecast.net where he and Chris host a monthly Star Wars literature podcast.
  • Thanks to our wives for putting up with this podcasting thing. Their support, in the fact of being baseball widows is much appreciated.
