 Leading Off

Yes, that is a “Miley” pun, for the episode title. No, we’re not sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, the Orioles did stuff at the trade deadline. We can’t say that it was particularly impressive stuff, but it was stuff. The O’s have been scuffling, but remain in first place.

Also, we heart Steve Pearce. Like whoa.

The #Orioles are showing that it's hard to be a buyer when you don't have anything worthwhile to sell.

Happy Birthday, 'Cap10. @SimplyAJ10

The #Orioles just signed a guy who was pitching in Japan to their 25-man roster in late July. That's bizarre even by their standards.

Around the Bases

 

There’s a lot going on right now. With that, it’s time to go Around the Bases.

First Base – Trade Deadline acquisitions

Second Base – Lackluster offensive performance

Third Base – Series to avoid

Home Plate – Upcoming Schedule

 

Fantasy Boss

Jake takes the week, as Chris Davis ended up in the over of 10.5 strikeouts. The score is no 7-5, and Scott is on the clock for the next category.

This week, we go very simple, as we look to see which Oriole tallies the most dongs. Jake went with new/returning Oriole, Steve Pearce, whereas Scott took Manny Machado.

 

Don’t forget about our 2016 Fantasy Boss Wild Cards!
