Leading Off

That grinding sound you hear is the bottom of the Orioles bandwagon rubbing against the ground. You see, the wheels have fallen off of it. Or it is us, silently weeping in a corner. Take your pick.

With that, it is definitely time to check in on the Drink of the Week.

Worth mentioning trading Arrieta isn't why O's SP are bad. They're bad b/c O's can't develop SP & the only SP they spent $ on was U. Jimenez

We’ve had a bit of a rocky relationship with MLB Advanced Media, but we were able to negotiate some exclusive content, for use in our review of this week’s action. Take a listen to the sounds that made up the magic of Orioles Baseball this past week.
