 Leading Off

This has been a rough week. The Orioles are in a dog fight with the Blue Jays for first, and things just aren’t clicking, offensively. But we encourage you to Hold On, O’s fans. Things will go our way.

What’d I Miss?

 

Scott was on vacation this week, so we held the podcast a couple of days. While he was gone… stuff happened. Scott asks what the heck he missed, and we wonder just what to make of Orioles baseball right now.
