Bird’s Eye View goes old school, by lifting a Beatles song title. Jake took to his underground bunker in the basement, as Snowpacalypse 2017 descends upon us. Get ready for The Snowtorious BIG with this week’s episode of Bird’s Eye View. OK, so perhaps a bit dramatic, but the health and wellness of Chris Tillman have put a damper on the excitement of Opening Day being only (at time of recording) Nick Markakis days away.

Can someone ask Adam Jones what he thinks about "outfielders" Pedro Alvarez and Trey Mancini?

It’s a rare Saturday edition of Bird’s Eye View – sorry for the schedule change, but we’re pretty sure that your earholes can handle it. The Orioles continue to prepare in Sarasota, and Baltimore weather reminds us that we need baseball season, now more than ever.

Old Man Radio, with Derek Arnold

Derek Arnold, the editor of Eutaw Street Report joins us revel in Old Man Radio, and to look ahead to what the Orioles will be in 2017 and beyond. We discuss the outfield roster, pace of play rules, and the closing of the competitive window.
If you are listening to this podcast, and are not familiar with Derek’s work at Eutaw Street Report, you are doing it wrong. Check him out on Twitter @EutawStReport and @BMoreBirdsNest.

Rosterbation

We risk hairy palms and engage in a little casual rosterbation. Are there any real question marks, or is this thing set? Are there any pieces of the puzzle that might come from outside the organization? Dan Duquette has been known to make late moves to improve the club.

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,

With 35 days from Opening Day, #OrangeSpring is officially underway. The Orioles have suffered injuries, suffered losses, and found a way to distract us from our work day. It’s a beautiful thing.

Camden Couch, with Mark Brown

Mark Brown (@EatMoreEsskay) joins us to discuss our Matt Wieters related emotions, the top screw ups of MASN’s top 25 games at OPACY list, and which pronunciation choosey mom’s prefer.
It’s Spring Training – we tackle the heavy issues. It’s what we do, here at Bird’s Eye View.
Be sure to check out Mark’s fantastic writing (and that of many others) at Camden Chat, and follow the site on Twitter @CamdenChat.
Truth or Truth

Is truth really binary? Can one ever know what is truth and what is not? Can we choose to really know truth?
Can we steal a bit from Jimmy Fallon, and loosely tie it to Orioles Baseball? Find out in this installment of Truth or Truth.

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.
