Episode 254: Winston Churchill

–                          –                          –

Leading Off

We’re not the worst team in the history of baseball. That’s… about all we can say. The Orioles are limping their way through the end of a lost season, and the empty seats at Camden Yards tell the story.

This Week on the Twitters

Here is what is happening in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

Around the Bases

First Base

You know what? Enough of this negativity. We want you to stop this podcast right now, and say something nice about this team. Say something nice about the team, then come back and join us as we do the same. Some of us were more successful than others.

 

Second Base

The international market is about to heat up. What will we say about the Orioles renewed efforts in the international market if they miss the Brothers Mesa?

 

Third Base

This team is epically bad. What will we take for you to go back to the ballpark within the next two weeks?

 

Home Plate

What will Future Us say about the Buck Showalter Era, and the man himself? We wax philosophical on Showalter’s legacy, and what will matter in the end.

 

Fantasy Boss

Scott has run the numbers, and he won. Let’s just trust him on that. The guys are all tied up in Fantasy Boss (which Scott has resurrected, with his own bit of sorcery), and the next two weeks will be decided with the following category:

Dongs After Dusk

Look, we won’t get any more opportunities for Dongs After Dark this season, so we’re looking at which player will have the most home runs late in games (7th inning or later). Yes, it’s a stupid category. Yes, Jake picked it.

Scott’s pick: Jonathan Villar

Jake’s pick: Trey Mancini

 

Who will own it?

 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Who had a great week? Who had a tough week? Who made us ashamed to be Orioles fans? Find out in this week’s GB&U. The guys run through their Good, Bad, and Ugly for the week.

Tweet us your selections @birdseyeviewbal with #OsGood, #OsBad, and #OsUgly.

 

Blowing the Save

9511479204_bef874af1e_o

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.
