Brad is back and the O's are HOT. Pablo Lopez rumored to the O's. Jorge Lopez is an All-Star. The trade deadline is approaching. The draft is near. Vibes have not been this good in Baltimore in a LONG time.

Ryan and Josh are joined by Freddie, who runs @MASNOriolez on Twitter. We go into: Jorge Mateo is overrated, the depth chart is reaching a breaking point, the wild week for O’s baseball, and much more.

Josh and Ryan discuss the recent success of the Orioles, leading to their first winning month since August of 2017 as well as how Adley Rutschman seems to have settled in at the MLB level. They also discuss why MLB prospects and draft picks are seemingly more difficult to predict and the factors that lead to that.

The Orioles slugged their way into Toronto, where we see Kyle Stowers play in his first MLB game. We also touch on the consistency of Tyler Wells. Heston Kjerstad also made his pro debut this week, and Dean Kremer has made it back to Baltimore.

After two and a half weeks of silence due to our own incompetence we are back! And we missed a lot! In this episode we discuss the debut of Adley Rutschman, make our takes on Cedric Mullins’ early struggles, give Austin Hays his due credit and plenty of other topics!

After our overwhelmingly positive episode last week, the O’s took a nosedive. Losing 6 of the last 7, they finally broke through today on a walk-off homerun from Santander. We also do our drawing for the Austin Hays Bat Giveaway!

The Orioles have been playing competent baseball for weeks now, and the fanbase has largely taken notice. With the pitching staff’s newfound competence, and this scrappy offense, the team is primed for the blue chip prospects that are knocking on the door to the show.

Lots of positive news throughout Birdland this week! From a series win against Boston to the successful rehabs of Adley and DL Hall, this was perhaps the first episode in show history where a negative topic was not a segment. Things are changing quickly, as Kyle Bradish debuted last week and more roster moves are surely on the horizon.

Ryan has been dug out of the ditch and joins us this week. Lots of exciting stuff happening around the organization, including the debut of Kyle Bradish. Adley Rutschman also began his rehab stint, as well as DL Hall.

Brad and Josh analyze the two recent series against NYY and OAK. This pitching staff is on fire, but the bats… not so much. We air frustrations over the pace that prospects are being handled, as well as a conspiracy theory about MLB baseballs. Ryan was too sleepy/in a ditch to join us this week.
