This Week on the Twitters
Around the Bases
We go Around the Bases to review this week in Orioles Baseball:
First Base: Are these the good old days?
Jake wonders aloud if the stakes of a mediocre team, combined with a hot stretch of baseball makes these “the good old days.” Somewhere between the games not being consequential and living/dying with every game is now… is now the good old days?
Second Base: The Jorge Lopez Experience
Jorge Lopez was great. Then he had a rough week. Now what? Scott urges that we all hold it together – it’ll be fine.
Third Base: Trade Deadline
The trade deadline is looming, and we review the obvious trade candidates, and maybe-not-so-obvious outcomes.
Home Plate: A Matter of Perspective
Listen, Birdland: get yourselves together. In order to get the most out of these games, you have to approach a season like 2022 with a little perspective. The fan base may have forgotten that, which may be expected after five years in the wilderness.
Keep calm and root for the Orioles.
Fantasy Boss
Scott takes a 3-2 lead, as his pick (Rougned Odor) out BABIPed Anthony Santander.
This week, Scott selected Wins Probability Added (WPA).
Jake selected Cionel Perez, and Scott went with Adley Rutschman.
Who will own it?
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.
