  • Audio quality

    Great content, but the audio is consistently poor. Whether it’s Tim’s internet and gaps or other people talking in the background/there being an echo, it can make it really hard to listen to at times.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An interview with O's broadcaster Ben McDonald
Q: What do you see today that younger players are doing better or worse compared to your era, and what should they improve on?
He notes that while there is more emphasis on data and mechanics, players sometimes lose sight of traditional fundamentals like locating strikes and commanding the zone; he advocates a balanced approach where analytics guide decisions but old-school skills remain essential.
O's fall to 7 games below .500, but Mike Elias hopes to be buyers
Q: Is Adley Rutschman going to be moved, or is the organization committed to keeping him?
The consensus among the hosts and Brad is that Elias suggested a strong commitment to keeping Rutschman, implying that trading him isn't a likely outcome unless overwhelming offers appear, emphasizing long-term core-building over short-term rental strategies.
O's fall to 7 games below .500, but Mike Elias hopes to be buyers
Q: What did you make of Elias' comments about being buyers at the deadline?
The hosts view it as a hopeful signal for the franchise's competitive direction, though they acknowledge the standings will heavily influence whether the team actually acts as buyers or becomes more cautious, given the window is fluid and contingent on performance.
Today's guest: Former Orioles All-Star closer Zack Britton
Q: What stands out most about that 2016 season for you?
The 0.54 ERA and the overall bullpen support stand out, but more than the stats, the experience of being part of a tight-knit bullpen and the relief success during high-leverage moments defined it for me.
Orioles sweep the White Sox, Is Trevor Rogers an ace? Is Adley Rutschman playing enough?
Q: Is Trevor Rogers an ace in the current Orioles rotation, and how does this affect the team's trajectory?
The hosts argue that by production and impact, Rogers has earned ace-like status for the Orioles, even if the broader league conversation lags; the emphasis is on sustained results and the culture shift he represents for the pitching staff.
