Episode 263: A Whole New Board Game

Leading Off

The season started off with such optimism, and now things are… closer to our expectation. Still, the Orioles are fun to watch, and capable of surprising some teams (and some “glass half empty” fans).

Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

The Mike Elias era has arrived, but when will we truly know things are different? We look through the decisions this organization has made during the short season to see if we can uncover any clues that this time, things really are different.

 

BingOs

It’s been a while since we’ve dusted off our Orioles Fan Embarrassment bingo card, but we’ve seen enough to know it’s time, here in 2019. We run through our suggestions for spaces on the bingo board, but we need some help. Let us know what we should put on the cards – tweet us @birdseyeviewbal

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.
