Leading Off

Well, we’ve arrived at Memorial Day, and the Orioles are weapons-grade terrible. Wasn’t this the date Dan Duquette circled on his calendar as a “more appropriate” date for deciding whether or not this season was lost?

Well… we’re waiting.

(Spoiler Alert: it is)

 

Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

Two Roads Brewing Co. is in my hometown of Stratford, CT. This is the first time in listening to the podcast that I was more excited for the Drink of the Week than anything Orioles related.

Can It Get Any Worse?

Have  you found yourself asking “is this rock bottom?” or “could this possibly get any worse?”

Well, you’re not alone. All Orioles fans have been going through this during the 2018 season. After the Palmer/Davis/Coolbaugh episode this week, it’s clear that the situation has gone from simply ugly, to being toxic.

What, then, could make this situation worse? We run through a few scenarios that would make this terrible season that much worse.

Um, you’re welcome?

 

Prescription Strength

Does this season have you feeling ill? Maybe it’s time to take a little something to make you feel better. The Drink of the Week is not enough to salve the burn of the Orioles. Instead, we may need to turn to something with more clinical value.

Join us as we run through the available options, and feel free to add a few of your own!

 

Fantasy Boss

The Orioles are so terrible, we couldn’t even win Fantasy Boss. Scott and Jake both “clicked” on their ridiculous “Either/Or” categories from last week:

Scott: Davis strikeouts vs. Orioles runs in the Rays series (advantage Davis, Scott clicked).

Jake: MLB steals vs. Orioles hits (advantage the other 29 teams, Jake clicked).

That brings the score to 4-4-1, and so we went with the same Either/Or approach, with a slight wrinkle: both guys picked a either/or category,
