Leading Off
This week was supposed to mark the beginning of our celebration of Opening Day. In an alternate universe, this episode would have been filled with giddy descriptions of our High Holy Day plans.
Instead, we are all locked inside, wondering if baseball is going to happen this season. So… that’s fun?

This Week on the Twitters
Here’s what’s going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:
What Is Happening?!?!
Things may be quiet right now, but if you look hard enough, you can find interesting nuggets about the Orioles. Yes, even despite the fact that COVID-19 has brought baseball to a screeching halt.
We discuss the state of the Orioles rotation, and our surprise at the candidates that seem lined up for a spot. We discuss Mason Williams (and not library-funding fanfic). We also wonder what kind of information the Orioles have to base their roster decisions, in the absence of Spring Training.
Then… things fall apart. As per usual. This is Bird’s Eye View, after all.
Shtick
Deciding that “real” baseball discussion is simply a bridge too far, we delve into the truly important questions:
When it comes to your Baltimore Orioles fandom, what do you consider to be “essential business?” That’s right, this week’s nonsense that is “ripped from the headlines” asks you to consider what you deem essential and non-essential parts of your Orioles experience. Our answers are… predictably dumb.
But wait – there’s Bonus Shtick!
We also review some of our worst ever opinions, and confess to our hottest garbage takes. What are some of your worst ever takes and opinions? Be sure to 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.
