Leading Off

After a big series win over the Yankees, the Orioles look forward to a somewhat easier month of May. And we here at Bird’s Eye View get super, super petty.

Really tough day for the baseball is dying crowd… 16,000 youth baseball participants at the ballpark today. Incredible energy already. This video doesn’t do it justice. pic.twitter.com/YhRvdpxtvE

If any Yankee fans want a piece of history they can buy the Oswaldo Cabrera “3 years ago it’s a tie game” ball in the Orioles authentic store. Go get a piece of history!!! pic.twitter.com/9V2INX1V3y

X of Y

We made a LOT of jokes at the Yankees’ expense when they whined about how many ballparks a batted ball would/wouldn’t be a homer. This made us wonder “would it dong” about a number of other topics in MLB. Specifically, for how many other teams would this thing be a big deal?

Don’t worry, this podcast is not funny in 30 out of 30 markets.

Potpourri

If we were true to our format, we would have gone around the bases, and selected four topics that weren’t quite big enough for their own segment. Instead, we went the potpourri route – selecting the things we wanted to talk about until we didn’t want to talk about them any more.

• Thursday’s Yankees game
  • Kyle Bradish’s return
  • Ryan McKenna’s, too (no, not really)
• John Means
• It’s gonna be May (schedule)
• Albert Suerez
• Cionel Perez

Fantasy Boss

Scott won AGAIN, and now it is all tied up at 2. Jake went the ridiculous route, asking – straight up – if there would be a rain delay in the two-game Washington series next week. Scott went with no, whereas Jake is left with the filibuster.

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.
