This week, Section 336 comes at you live from Buffalo Wild Wings in Owings Mills, Maryland. The guys talk about Matt Wieters, Steve Pearce, rooting against the Mets, and ReOpening Day.
Leading Off
Bert talks about how much he hates interleague play, and almost feeling sorry for Bartolo Colon. Matt makes a great case for rooting against the Mets in the NL this year, and Josh wonders about pitchers batting in the All-Star game.
Home Games in Tampa
Josh appreciates the way Tampa invited the O’s into the Trop for three “home” games, and how they lost two of three to the Birds. But is Tampa too nice to be a rival?
Starting in Tampa, Steve Pearce is now playing second base – good idea?
“It’s called Wibble Wobble!” – Bert Rode
This Weekend
The Birds travel to the Bronx to take on the Yankees, which means we’ll probably see Andrew Miller (and, hey, it already happened!)…ugh.
On the bright side, J.J. Hardy is back, so there’s that.
Nobody but Manny Machado should be leading off for this team!
Ball Bag
Should we give Delmon Young the Gold Glove now, or wait until the end of the year?
Will the O’s wear the road Baltimore jerseys for ReOpening Day? Make sure you click here and listen to our interview with the creators of that great event.
When will Matt Wieters be back? Do you want him back?
Let’s talk about Ed Reed, who officially retired today in a press conference at the Under Armour Performance Center.
