The dysfunction of the Orioles offseason reaches a fever pitch, and Sam and Alan are growing increasingly concerned that the whole thing is just an elaborate and ill-conceived parody of "The Music Man."  Plus, Michael Clair (Baseball Prospectus, Old Time Family Baseball) calls in to discuss his ongoing amazingness.

A thorough examination of the Duquette Doctrine, with much discussion of the Orioles' apparent lack of offseason ambition, an investigative report on the whereabouts of the Orioles Spastics, and Dan Duquette himself as the musical guest.

The stove is piping hot, and the Morons are accordingly all fired up.  Much discussion of the recent flurry of trade activity, an in-depth discussion of the MLB Fan Cave experience with 2013 Dweller Nick Mendillo, and a free agent cautionary tale in musical form.

Sam and Alan share personal essays on the themes of baseball and gratitude.

Marcel Proust, agrarian economic principles, and nostalgia for the more innocent days of the physical sports page.  Almost no Orioles talk this week, but you should be expecting that at this point.

Bullpen coach discrimination, new stadium nonsense, and a strategy of radical pragmatism regarding next year's starting rotation.  Plus, a Special Comment from Alan Smith.

Gold gloves, pitching coaches, neck tattoos, and Theodore Roosevelt.

Episode 70 arrives in your feed replete with trenchant observations on the role of narrative in baseball, whether or not buying hats with World Series patches is lame, sincere appreciation for French culture, and a damn sonnet to boot.

The thrilling conclusion to our 2013 season wrap-up, featuring Charlie Hoppes (Orioles Spastics), Cal from the OBP Podcast, and musical guest Charlie Hoppes.
