Episode 283: Ninety Nine

–                          –                          –

Leading Off

Another month, another Bird’s Eye View episode. The Orioles are knee deep in the offseason, and what do they have to show for it? Um… stuff? It’s quiet, but we should have expected that.

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: Roster Review

  • Villar was non-tendered, then traded
  • Bundy was traded

Second Base: Elsewhere in the Organization

  • Manager Brandon Hyde announces his finalized coaching staff

Third Base: AL East Spends Money

  • Yankees sign Cole
  • Blue Jays sign Ryu

Home Plate: These Names Can’t Be Real

  • With so many other reasons to be upset, the Orioles anger Jake by making up players

 

Oriole Bird Santa

Episode 283 drops on Christmas Eve Eve (a perfect time to air grievances!), so we discuss what gifts we hope the Oriole Bird Santa might leave under the tree. Rumor has it that MLB’s shop has lots of great items… for clubs whose players might stick around for a while.

Jake leaves a present under Scott’s tree, but he may ask for the gift receipt. Come to think of it, you might, too.

 

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.
