The guys start by discussing the emotional high points associated with the Adam Jones game, and the postseason clinch. Those tingles we thought might never return are back. And they&#8217;re back with a vengence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, of course, there were the other feels. There is not much of value that we can add to the ongoing honoring of Brooks Robinson &#8211; Orioles legend and wonderful human being. However, the fact that so many  &#8211; young and old &#8211; who are absolutely devastated by the loss of this great man is a testament to his stature as a friend first, community hero second, and a baseball player a distant third. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Base: Pinch Me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much going right for the Orioles right now. They are on pace to win over 100 games. They look very likely to win the AL East (and have the AL&#8217;s best record). They have the presumptive AL Rookie of the Year. They have young superstars. They have young complementary players. Don&#8217;t look now, but everything is coming up Orioles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third Base: Authentic Fan Engagement at OPACY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake thinks the sound board operators need to sit back and let the fans cook. Great crowds have returned to Camden Yards. Even without a sellout, you can count on an exuberant, engaged crowd watching their team run down an AL East divisional crown. There&#8217;s no need to manufacture fan response. Leave <em>Seven Nation Army <\/em>for a moment when our enthusiasm has flagged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Plate: The Nightmare Scenario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, things are going incredibly well. But true Orioles fans are always waiting for that other shoe to drop. Therefore, we lay out the worst-case-scenario: the Reverse Andino Curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, the Orioles are relegated to the AL Wildcard because the Boston Red Sox lay down for the Rays (who win out), and sweep the Orioles, leaving us to dejectedly scoreboard watch as Boston&#8217;s only remaining hope &#8211; to play spoiler &#8211; mars what should be a special season in Baltimore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not likely, but come on: that&#8217;s how the script should be written, right?<\/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><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fantasy Boss<\/span><\/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>Jake ekes out a victory, and pulls the contest reasonably close-ish (10-7 in Scott&#8217;s favor).
