Episode 233: Ghosts of Sadness Present

–                          –                          –

Leading Off

We tried really hard to be positive in last week’s show, and look where that got us! We were rewarded with a miserable week of Orioles baseball, which included excruciating losses at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox. Remember when baseball was fun for that one series in New York? It could only sustain us for so long. Eventually, the team has to win again.

It does, right? RIGHT?!

The Brett Hollander Show

Now that Brett Hollander is no longer talking sports with you during the evenings, he’s available to sully his reputation on Bird’s Eye View. Brett joins us to talk the Orioles, and what we should be looking forward to on this year’s team, and in the future.

Spoiler Alert: Brett likes Trey Mancini, and is looking forward to seeing the rising stars in the minors. Also Chris Tillman’s leash is exactly as short as you think it is.

Brett is moving to the daytime slot (1-3pm), and will expand to discuss sports, politics, entertainment, and issues that face the local communities he loves so much. Check out Brett on Twitter @BrettHollander. He’s also trying to put us out of business with his own podcast.

 

Fantasy Boss

Jake wins, 6-1, but we both deserve to lose because neither of us picked the obvious choice: Dylan Bundy. The dude struck out 16 batters in the last 7 days.

That brings the contest to 2-1 in Scott’s favor, and Scott is picking the category this week, and he’s gone with xwOBA. 

Jake’s Pick: Manny Machado

Scott’s Pick: Trey Mancini

 

Who will own it?

 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

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.
