Don’t forget to get your tickets for Section 336 Obscure Orioles Night at the Yard – still five left!

Leading Off

Would you rather have a two-hour baseball bore fest, or a five-hour run-packed extravaganza?

Remember when we were upset the O’s were in the AL East? Right now, it’s the only reason the season isn’t basically over already.

Are we seeing a bunch of good MLB hitters all slumping at once, or just a team full of bad hitters?

The Orioles are 28th in batting average with RISP and two outs, and 21st w/RISP overall. Not good.

This Weekend

Matt Wieters and maybe Bud Norris should be back this weekend. Will they help the team right the ship? Will Mike Wright be the casualty to make room?

What do you expect from Wieters?

Theoretical from Bert: Assuming this is Wieters’ last year in Baltimore, what’s his legacy?

After the four-game set in Houston, the Birds go to Cleveland, where the Tribe is also hot. To further complicate things, the O’s have the worst road record in the AL.

Bert’s Storytime – Zany but True MLB Stories

The triumphant return! Bert has some crazy baseball stories to tell us this week.

Who walked up to bat wearing a Beatles wig and ran around the bases facing backwards?

Who once made the World Series three straight years on three different teams?

Who won a World Series MVP on the losing team?

These and more crazy stories – listen for the answers!

Ball Bag

Chris Parmelee and Henry Urrutia are both hitting well in Norfolk. Should they get a sniff with the big club to try to spark the offense?

Would MLB expand to Cuba?

Eduardo Rodriguez had a good first start for the Red Sox. Ready to jump off the cliff? Will Dan Duquette be more gun-shy about trades this year?

Do you think Manny Machado will end up being better than Brooks Robinson? (Thanks Orioles Facebook Fan page for stupid-ing up our Ball Bag!)
