Leading Off
As the All Star break approaches, the Orioles are who we thought they were, rather than who we hoped they would be. Well, at least the universe is consistent?
Enjoy watching your Orioles representation to All Star week – from Rutschman, to Mullins, to Mancini… there are some reasons to have pride in the Orange and Black.

This Week on the Twitters
Draft Talk
The Orioles raise a few eyebrows this week by drafting Colton Cowser with the 5th overall pick of the MLB Draft. What was more surprising was that our very own Scott Magness accurately predicted the pick, totally abandoning our claims to a lack of insight and baseless opinion.
We discuss what we think the 2021 draft means for the Orioles, and what (if anything) the approach tells us about the state of the rebuild.
A Walk in the Park
Scott and Jake have both been to ballgames recently. Spoiler alert, they enjoyed the baseball. We talk Aberdeen, Baltimore, old man music, and ice cream.
Fantasy Boss
Jake took Fantasy Boss this week, and is now ahead 6-5.
This week, the category is all about All Star starting centerfielder, Cedric Mullins. Yes, or No, will Mullins either get a hit or have a defensive web gem in the Fall Classic?
Scott went with yes, Jake is left with no.
Who will own it?
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.

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.
