It’s another solo podcast Birdland. We will resume interviewing guests next week, so check back for that.

But today I check in briefly on the dismal Cleveland series that has the Orioles now 13 games below the .500 mark. The team has lost seven of its past eight games.

I also provided my take on which O’s players might be most likely to be traded and mentioned why I believe that is the case.

Later in the podcast I discussed one hot hitter on the O’s farm. He is a player we could see in Baltimore before the year is out.

Enjoy the latest Steve on Baseball podcast.

My Substack space surpassed 1,000 subscribers last night!

For some reason, that milestone was meaningful for me. It was a long run of extended growth and I really appreciate O’s fans for continuing to find me and supporting what I do here on Substack. I promised this space will get better and it has been. The offseason - when we get there - will be very interesting as well. The content will stay interesting and worth your time. Promise.

O’s fans also had me ranked yesterday among the top 100 Bestsellers on Substack. That was a first for me here! Thank you times a thousand!
