The Bird Brains Baseball Show

Derek pinch hits for Dave this week and settles his position on the impact of analytics on baseball. The O's had a good week and talk about the significance of May 13th on the team.

 Good starting pitching and some timely hits have given Birdland some hope.  Dave and Jeff talk about the importance of the starting pitching and continuing to play clean baseball as June begins.  

Lamenting a 1-5 week with the Birds, today the boys discuss why analytics based coaching/decision making doesn't necessarily result in "Good Baseball".  Inspiration was taken from Ben McDonald's post game comments.

Down one Brain cell, Derek Pinch Hits for Dave as what's left of our Brains discuss the lack of depth by the starting pitching, chase rates, and a series win against the Yankees.

Dave, Derek, and Jeff review a tough stretch for the Birds and comment on the recent controversial comments made by O's HOFer Mike Bordick. 

April comes to an end and the O's are hovering around .500.  Jeff and Dave talk about some of the promising performances this week and hand out a Bird of Prey award.

Jeff and Dave review some of the early season statistics of the Orioles and what it may mean for this season.  Some reason for hope on offense and some reasons for concern with the starting pitching. 

Dave and Jeff review another week of .500 baseball for the Birds and talk about some of the early season heroes for the O's. 

Lack of fundamentals and a weak opponent = a 3-3 week getting the O's back to .500  Derek joins the discussion from the southern info desk as the discussion drifts around sloppy play and inconsistent bats. 

After a .500 start Dave and Jeff review the new additions to the ballpark experience at Camden Yards.  Early impressions of the team are discussed.  The injury bug has reappeared and the boys talk about the implications of the Zach Eflin injury.
