Offseason’s Greetings

The Orioles have have a rather underwhelming offseason. But if you’re looking for “notable” acquisitions, look no farther than:

  • The Wall, Part 2 – Right Handed Boogaloo
  •  Tyler O’Neill
  • Tomoyuki Sugano
  • Gary Sanchez
  • Sadness

The real stories are in who is NOT here. Yes, we’re talking Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander. We discuss what the offseason moves mean, what the lack of moves mean, and what “means” means. That’s “means,” not, you know… “Means.”

Are the Orioles trying? Would our 2011 selves have been satisfied with this effort?

We Listen and We Don’t Judge

If there’s one thing we’re proud of when it comes to Bird’s Eye View, it’s that we put silly Orioles musical spoofs out into the universe. If there’s a second thing that we’re proud of, it’s that this show is a safe place for all of us to express some serious lack of insight and baseless opinions.

We’re not sure anyone is listening, but we’re sure you’re judging.

Before the app gets banned, we’ll hop on the trend of We Listen and We Don’t Judge. Feel free to add yours, by reaching out to us on social media @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.
