Today on the show: Hyun-Soo Kim – will he stay or will he go… and if/when he goes where will he go? And with Opening Day less than a week away, Chris Tillman was named the Orioles opening day starter for the third straight year…. Does that say more about Tilly or more about the Orioles? We will get into all that and more on this edition of Section 336.
Leading Off
Matt is fired up today because O’s podcasters and fans already seem to be jumping off the bandwagon. Fortunately, Birdland Radio is THIS SUNDAY (Check out all the details here) and so he’ll be able to fight some of those guys here very soon.
O’s Talk
Ken Rosenthal reported that the O’s might be trying to get rid of Hyun-Soo Kim already. He won’t be on the Opening Day roster. Will he go to AAA? What sense does all this make?
O’s starters have an 8.74 ERA this spring, good for 30th in MLB. Joey Rickard has earned a spot on the team, hitting, playing great defense, and even stealing bases. Kevin Gausman will start the season on the DL, so who will be the fifth starter to begin 2016 – Mike Wright? Tyler Wilson? The Vanimal?
Matt doesn’t understand all the hate the O’s are getting, nor all the love Tampa is getting.
Chris Tillman will start on Opening Day for the third consecutive season. And we got a phone call (Thanks Jake)!
Baltimore Sports in Pop Culture
This week’s edition features a movie that was filmed here in Maryland, and a former Oriole known for his massive biceps.

Maryland lost to Kansas in the Sweet 16. Was the year a success or a failure? Will Melo and Stone jump to the NBA?
Ball Bag
We made it through the offseason! Just in time for some more bad news – Hunter Harvey strained his groin. With Gausman already hurt, is this all just bad luck or do the Orioles really have a problem in their development system?
Will Nolan Reimold make the team?
Steve Bisciotti said he’d like to see the Ravens play in London. Thoughts?
