Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brian Baldinger says Olaivavega Ioane is his favorite player in the NFL Draft
Q: Let me get one second. Let's do this. Baldy, are you there? I'm sorry.
Yes, I'm here, ready to discuss the depth and potential of this draft class, how injuries and experience shape evaluations, and where Ioane and Bain might fit with the Ravens.
HR1 - Are the Baltimore Orioles playing the way we expected through two weeks?
Q: What are your thoughts on the Orioles through 18 games?
Tony Gwynn Jr provides a balanced view, noting the offense isn't firing consistently yet and the rotation/relief mix has been up and down, but the bullpen has shown signs of life and there is belief they can improve with healthier players like Adley and a fuller lineup.
HR3 - Is this the version of Jeremiah Jackson we should expect to see for the rest of the season?
Q: What do you think about Jeremiah Jackson's chances of becoming an everyday major leaguer given how he's starting the season?
The hosts and Baldinger agree Jackson looks legit, showing the ability to contribute regularly with strong hitting and defensive versatility, though they want to see more run of consistency and time at second base.
Jon Meoli says Samuel Basallo is learning in real time what it takes to be an everyday catcher
Q: Jon, you also recently put out a column writing about Samuel Basallo. How would you assess the start to his rookie year, not just at the plate, but defensively as well?
Meoli notes Basallo's growing understanding of handling a pitching staff and acknowledges the learning curve, especially behind the plate, with mention that he has improved in some days and struggled in others as he adjusts to major-league routines.
HR3 - Can Anthony Nunez continue to be a reliable leverage arm for the Baltimore Orioles?
Q: How solid is the Orioles' rotation depth beyond the established names?
The hosts highlight Rico Garcia, Anthony Nunez, Brandon Young, Cade Povitz, and Dean Kramer as emerging options to bridge to Helsley, indicating meaningful bullpen and rotation depth.
