  • I like the podcast

    This is actually a multi-part question.

    Could you please ask Andy Kostka if he thinks he put words in the mouth of Craig Albernaz following the St. Louis game on August 25th?

    Why did Andy urinate in Craig’s cereal? What cereal do you think it was?

    Lastly, what cereal reminds you most of your childhood?

  • I enjoy this show.

    The fellas have good chemistry, strong knowledge and measured takes. I’m a fairly new listener and sometimes confuse the voice of Jon and Kyle. If they are on the show together I suggest Kyle speaks an octave higher than his normal voice. It’s the only way the show can be improved upon. Thanks for the show!

  • Best Way to keep up with the O’s

    Frooooom my couch in my flat in Leeds, it is… a five star review for The Banner Baseball Show! (Improv something about how wonderful the north of England is.) Since moving to the UK from Delmarva, this podcast is my favourite way of keeping up with my beloved Birds. Paul & Jon provide brilliant insight that I just don’t get this side of the pond, and the Fast & Furious reviews are great too. I’ll be going home for a couple games this July, let’s hope they’re still playing this well then. Paul, I... more

  • Insight from smart people.

    This show really creates a conversation that is different from other Orioles offerings. They do this by featuring friendly banter mixed with solid analysis and insider nuggets. What isn’t there is a retired athlete or a meaningless segment with a member of the current roster. Reporters are smarter than players and this just eliminates the stereotypical jock talk for serious analysis.

  • Good listen

    Let me tell you something about the Banner Baseball Boyz: they shop at Marshall’s, which is to say they know a lot about good deals. And a free podcast that regularly dives deep into the happenings of the Baltimore Orioles? Buddy, that’s a heck of a deal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do the Orioles have enough in the tank to make the playoffs?
Q: Does Trevor Rogers get the qualifying offer, an extension, a free agent contract or nothing?
The co-hosts discuss that the qualifying offer is likely around $23.1 million, with a preference to extend it given the pitcher's ups and downs, while also noting the possibility of longer-term free-agent deals if the offer is rejected. They assess that extending him could be advantageous, but it depends on market dynamics and the Orioles' long-term plans; if offered and accepted, it would simplify the rotation for a year, but the team might prefer shorter deals with other pitchers.
The unlikely heroes keeping the Orioles in the playoff race
Q: Ivan, what are your thoughts on the decision to trade Adley Rutschman and how it fits into the Orioles' long-term strategy?
From a business perspective, it was a difficult but necessary decision to maximize return on a franchise cornerstone while ensuring the team could remain competitive. The Orioles had to consider long-term value, potential extensions, and the risk of losing a high-caliber catcher to free agency. The guest argues that such moves are part of managing a franchise's lifecycle, even if painful in the short term.
Ranking the Orioles in the AL East with Jake Mintz
Q: What does landing a big name like Pete Alonso mean for the franchise?
It's important as it declares the Orioles' intent to be serious players in the free agent market.
Breaking down the Orioles' 24-player draft class with Carlos Collazo
Q: Do you feel like the Orioles might be able to allocate their money correctly in order to come home with most of these players?
Yes, it's a safe assumption that most players taken in the first ten rounds should sign, considering the Orioles have the budget and strong prospects.
Breaking down the Orioles' 24-player draft class with Carlos Collazo
Q: Is there a certain advantage that teams can have by drafting hitters early?
Many teams believe that taking hitters early allows them to find more hidden gems among pitchers later in the draft due to the inherent risks of injury with pitching prospects.
