Through 19% of their schedule, the Birds are 15-16 &#8211; one game under .500 and 3.5 games out of first. I know that none of that matters. I know that this team is not going to win. But after about a month of baseball, everything is\u2026 kind of fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SECOND BASE: Talent in the Outfield<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t look now, but the Orioles&#8217; outfield is fun. Like, super fun. Is it too early to refer to Mullins and Hays as &#8220;2131 Eutaw Street?&#8221; Of course it is. Will that stop us? Unlikely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t get us wrong, things won&#8217;t always be awesome. But right now&#8230; it&#8217;s pretty awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>THIRD BASE: The WAR rages on<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Orioles&#8217; WAR leaders are a group of likely, and unlikely players. Sure, we&#8217;re still in small-sample-size territory, but with about 20% of the season under our belt, and with the likes of Freddy Galvis on pace to be a 4 WAR player&#8230; things are weird. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discuss the &#8220;eye test&#8221; for Galvis&#8217; defense, and heap praise on Austin Hays. Also, there&#8217;s that Means guy, but what has he done lately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HOME PLATE: Minor Majors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ubaldo Jimenez was recently in the news for the most delightful reason &#8211; the former MLB pitcher earned a degree in Business Administration. We here at Bird&#8217;s Eye View cannot be happier for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it got us wondering about what fields of study former and current Orioles might consider once their illustrious baseball careers have ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:84px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fantasy Boss<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2.png 964w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-260x67.png 260w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-50x13.png 50w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-150x39.png 150w, https:\/\/www.birdseyeviewbaltimore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FantasyBossHeader2-960x249.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake is back up, at a score of 2-1.
