May the 4th be with you, because it certainly isn't with your Baltimore Orioles. They get good pitching, they still can't hit, and when they finally hit, their pitching gives up 7 HR to the team with the fewest HRs in all of baseball. To put it in perspective, prior to Sunday, the Royals hadn't hit 7 HRs in any week of the season, and they hit 7 on Sunday afternoon, a game the Orioles lost 11-6 despite hitting 4 HRs themselves. Zach Moore is back to discuss that and more with Paul on The Bat Around!

What is there to even say at this point? The Orioles are playing their worst baseball in 4 years. The pitching is terrible, the offense is somehow worse, and there appears to be no end in sight. Yet, somehow, nobody has been held accountable and no consequences have been rendered despite the fact the team is 52-63 in their last 115 games dating back to June 24th. Zach Moore is back to discuss that and more with Paul on The Bat Around!

The bats have gone cold, the pitching has been off, the lineups have been questionable, and the defense has been sloppy. The Orioles entered the weekend 3 games under .500 for the first time in 3 years, and they don't look like they have any ability to turn it around anytime soon. Glenn Clark joins Paul to discuss the Orioles' slow start and whether a move needs to be made sooner than later to jump start the season. That and more on The Bat Around!

The Orioles bats continued their up-and-down trend to start the season, going ice cold immediately following a breakout performance yet again as they lost 4-1 to the Royals to drop the series, 2-1. Brandon Hyde continued to make his regularly scheduled gaffes as the Orioles have struggled to find any consistency to this point.

The Orioles kissed their sister, splitting the 4-game series in Toronto. The bats were red-hot in games 1 & 3, and ice-cold in games 2 & 4. Which team should we believe they are after 4 games? Plus, the new-combers to the rotation struggle in their first turn, and the injury bug just won't stop biting. Dillon Atkinson joins Paul to discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

Opening Day is just four days away! How did the Orioles look in their final tune-up before they head North for the Summer? Is Gunnar ready to go for the season opener? How about Felix? Plus, how does the the rest of the division and the league shape up? Zack Moore is pulling back-to-back shifts as he joins Paul to discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

We're inside of two weeks until Opening Day, and the roster picture still has some lasting murkiness: Who is the fifth starter? Will Gunnar Henderson be ready for Opening Day? Will Jorge Mateo? Who plays SS if neither can go? Plus, Tomoyuki Sugano has looked, dare I say, dominant? Zach Moore is back to discuss that and more with Paul on The Bat Around!

A relatively quiet spring got pretty noisy for the Birds this past week, with not-so-great news on injuries to Gunnar Henderson, Grayson Rodriguez, and Andrew Kittredge. Is the team in trouble? Plus, Tomoyuki Sugano and Charlie Morton are leaving a good impression on their new team. How big were these signings for the Orioles, especially considering the onslaught of injuries? Ask and you shall receive as Dillon Atkinson joins Paul to discuss that and more on The Bat Around!
