Jordan Westburg was great for the Orioles in 2024...and then he got hurt. The team's offensive went on the shelf with him. If the O's want to reach their lofty goals in 2025, they need a healthy Westburg at the hot corner.

The 1B position is a weird one for the O's. They have what looks to be a strict platoon between Ryan Mountcastle and Ryan O'Hearn. Simultaneously, the O's have invested over $15M in these two guys to develop that platoon, and there's plenty of reason to believe it'll be a valuable position for the O's. Eli checks in to discuss what we can expect this year.

For the 2025 O's, the 2B position is one of the few spots on the diamond without complete and total certainty. Can you project some steady improvement from Jackson Holliday? Or will you need to piece it together with Ramon Urias, a healthy Jorge Mateo, and some Jordan Westburg? Eli stops to take a look at Holliday's projections, and discuss how he sees the position shaking out this year.

Adley Rutschman had a weird 2024, which included a stellar first half and then a nightmare second half. The Orioles really need him to be back to his normal, outstanding self if they are going to achieve their lofty goals in 2025.

The Orioles are going to lean on their bullpen heavily in 2025. That means all eyes will be on Félix Bautista and his return from injury. But the O's are deeper than just the best closer in baseball.

Season Preview Season is upon us. Elijah kicks it off with a look at the starting rotation. Projections show the rotation taking a step back, but it's not all bad. A high floor and deep set of arms defines a group that should be a stabilizing presence all year.

The Orioles sign Ramon Laureano. The outfield is getting crowded and some decisions will have to be made.

The Orioles offseason has been solid, but safe. There is some logic to it, especially if you realize how big the 2025 draft could be for them as a result.

Stuff+/PitchingBot/tjStuff+, what exactly are all of these pitch models nowadays? Eli takes a moment to break down (on a high level) the development of a stuff model, what they try to accomplish, and some of the considerations of each, with some help from a running apple tree analogy. Some apple farmer somewhere is going to hear this and be inspired to create the original juicy+.
