Spring training games have begun and there is real fake baseball to discuss. With that, Bird’s Eye View takes a dark, and surly tone. This is Birdland!
Listen in to our Blowing the Save segment to listen as Jake admits he might be wrong, and Scott proclaims that the Orioles might be wrong. But more importantly, please weigh in on The Twitters and let us know what your favorite part of a stay in Sarasota is.

Ryan Flaherty wanted to return to the #Orioles. The Orioles wanted Flaherty back. So why’s he wearing a #Phillies uniform now? https://t.co/5R55SYDVQJ pic.twitter.com/5guAd61ILY

How does this NOT make the next @BirdsEyeViewBal podcast? That would be the biggest travesty of the entire offseason. Ok, maybe that’s a stretch. (Yes, that’s a pun people.)

Around the Bases

For the first time, we go around the bases of sadness. This is a segment that could have very easily been called Well That Doesn’t Sound Promising. Here we go, around the bases:

First Base:  Nestor Cortes is a big softie.
Second Base:  Kevin Gausman pulled a modified Caleb Joseph (this is not a ball joke)
Third Base:  What is even the utility of this situation?
Home Plate:  Are you concerned that our only hopes suck?

Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow! Our long national nightmare is over – we’ve waited for the crack of the bat, the pop of the mitt, and most importantly:
GRAINY PICTURES OF GUYS IN SHORTS!!!
OK, so the early days of camp aren’t that exciting. But it’s infinitely better than no baseball at all.

The #Orioles have checked out Lance Lynn, Andrew Cashner, Jason Vargas, Alex Cobb and Chris Tillman, among others. They appear content to wait in hopes of signing someone to a short-term deal. Peter Angelos hesitant to commit to 4-year deal after the Ubaldo Jimenez experience.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) February 7, 2018

The Orioles still need 60% of a starting rotation and they’re reportedly talking to the Astros, Rays, and others about maybe getting some of it. https://t.co/jU2jmTVSHw

Nothing is determined yet, but expect Mike Wright to start games for the Orioles in April https://t.co/qKiM373RPa

The Orioles have agreed to terms on a one-year contract for 2018 with INF Jonathan Schoop, avoiding arbitration.
— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) February 6, 2018

There were some tough times growing up an Orioles fan. Seemed like there was no hope for a winning season. But 10 years ago, Adam Jones, the Captain, was traded to Baltimore. The culture of the team, city, fans changed for the better. Here’s to another 10 years @SimplyAJ10 pic.twitter.com/EKgG5X9fgx
— Joe Papparotto (@JoePappa) February 9, 2018

Former #orioles OF Nolan Reimold will work out at the MLBPA "31st camp" for free agents in Bradenton. Union approved, then denied Reimold based on his 6-year FA status. Agent got involved and matter resolved. Reimold now repped by @JoshuaKusnick.

Spring Training Story Lines

With so much unsettled, here are the story lines that we’re watching, as camp unfolds:

* What else gets done (besides, ahem, starting pitching)?
* The scoop on Schoop

It's time to get philosophical. In light of the Orioles' approach to the winter meetings, we consider what they might or might not participate in.

Man, there is just nothing going on in the world of Orioles Baseball. I mean, there’s some stuff. If you care about things like mini-camps for pitchers that may not make the team, or arbitration figures for players everyone knows will be on the team, then there’s stuff going on.

The return from McCutchen is underwhelming, but honestly, McCutchen's trade value wasn't that high either.
— Dan Szymborski (@DSzymborski) January 15, 2018

How Andy Etchebarren and Terry Crowley are NOT in the Orioles Hall of Fame is a mystery to me. Both were important role players during our glory years AND they spent many years coaching within the organization. @OrioleAdvocates @Jim22Palmer

Around the Bases

We scraped at the bottom of the barrel to find some Orioles news, and here’s the best that we found:

* Hot Stove Slow Burn
* Frustrating “news” about starting pitching.
* Arbitration notes
* Can MLB support 32 teams?
* Orioles season ticket “perks.”

Five Stages of Gin

Scott has sprung for a fainting couch here at SD Studios. Jake lays down and experiences the five stages of grief.
Where are you on the grief schedule? What would you bargain for, with Manny Machado?

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
