This week on the show, we come at you live from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to try to assign blame for the Orioles’ disappointing results to date.
Leading Off
Nick Markakis led off for the Braves on Monday, and received quite the ovation from the Birds fans. Why didn’t Brian Roberts get the same treatment?
The Birds have now won four in a row after losing four in a row, and the fan base has stepped back off the ledge. Other than getting swept in New York, the O’s have won three of four series since the break. So…where do they stand, and what will they do in the three days remaining before the trade deadline?
Who’s to Blame?
Is it just us, or does social media seem to be more active when the Birds are struggling? Do people just love to wallow in misery, do they enjoy being “right” about the team being bad, do they love throwing blame? All of the above?
Ball Bag
Should Manny stay at leadoff after struggling in the three hole?
What does Nolan Reimold have to do to get an everyday job?
This year’s guest interviewee at #BirdlandSocial was Jim Palmer. Last year it was Adam Jones, and things got a bit awkward. Did the O’s learn their lesson about making a player do something like that right before the game?
Will Steve Pearce make it to his bobblehead night?
Hey, it’s football time! Will Dennis Pitta, who is starting the season on the PUP list, ever play again?
Any thoughts on deflategate?
