Bird's Eye View is an unofficial Orioles podcast from the perspective of two die-hard fans. Here, we experience the ups and downs of Orioles baseball, and do our fair share of praising and mocking our beloved team. Our position from the cheap seats helps provide that “Bird’s Eye View.” What we bring is perspective. We offer content that will entertain, (very) occasionally inform, and more often than not, validate a little homerism. When it comes to the Orioles, this is your official source for a lack of insight, and baseless opinion.

    Around the Bases















    First Base: State of Starting Pitching







    Burnes is an ace. Grayson is a solid #2. Bradish is still holding together. And the rest of the rotation is a major league #3 – #5. And there’s a little depth.







    How far can this rotation take this team? And how fragile is the rotation?







    Second Base: Gut Check







    This is where the season gets real. Or… is it?







    Six games against the Phillies and Yankees could make or break this season. Unless… they don’t? These are big series, to be sure. How will the Orioles respond to the challenge?







    Third Base: Getting a conspiracy theory to catch on…







    James McCann is catching an awful lot these days. And he’s doing it a lot with Corbin Burnes. AND he’s doing it when Cade Povich makes his MLB debut. WHY?! What does he know?!







    Home Plate: Rough Patch







    Jake whines about the T. Rowe Price patches that he calls “sellout badges,” while Scott remains logical about the issue. Coming from different places, they agree that the outcome is negligible.

    After a week away, the guys are back and better than never. What happened while we’re gone? Well, it can best be expressed by the dulcet tones of Whitney Houston. Not really, but we made the reference anyway. Welcome to Bird’s Eye View.

    Around the Bases















    First Base: The Streak Ends







    The Orioles were finally swept. I mean, they were swept again, because it happened in the playoffs. But in any event, this very specific, very narrow interpretation of a streak has come to an end. And… the Orioles are still good. They’re still a very good team. Maybe THAT can be the story? Not this weirdly specific stat?







    Second Base: Gunnar’s MVP Campaign







    Gunnar Henderson is having the type of season that we could only dream about. Stop for a moment, and think about one part of his game that you wish he would improve. We’ll wait.







    Still waiting.







    Gunnar is, in short, having a historically good season, and we can’t wait to see how he stacks up against some of the elite players in the leage.







    Now… about that facial hair…







    Third Base: The June Gauntlet







    The Orioles can’t buy an off-day in June. They also play a lot of games within the division, and against teams with winning records. But let’s not kid ourselves – no one is looking forward to having to play the Orioles, either. Embrace it – you’re about to be treated to an exciting month of Orioles Baseball.







    Home Plate: Quick Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down







    We hit a number of topics and give a quick temperature gauge on how we’re feeling. Don’t look now, but we have strong emotions, and strong opinions.







    Home Plate: Quick Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down







    A BONUS BASE!!!







    We take a look at the Orioles’ survey about potential future changes to Camden Yards. Some of these are no-brainers. And some of these are really great, if you are fantastically wealthy.







    We are looking forward to the new look of Camden Yards, and to the possibility of having some of that great baseball experience trickle down ...

    Around the Bases















    First Base: Roster Crunch







    We have come accustomed to not having enough talent in the organization. We’ve also become accustomed to talent in the organization being too far away to have a meaningful impact on our hopes and dreams. But now the organization has talent up and down. And difficult decisions are being made. We as fans need to enjoy the guys while they’re here, and understand that the fringe guys might not be here indefinitely – they’re not here on scholarship, anymore.







    Second Base: The Next, Next Chapter







    The Orioles finally released another episode of The Next Chapter, so Jake can find something else to whine about.







    Third Base: Adley Rutchman is good at baseball







    Let’s just say that, here at Bird’s Eye View, we have fallen Truly. Adley. Deeply.







    Home Plate: Predictions







    In 2023, we predicted that the division was out of reach because the Rays were running away with it. Here in 2024, it looks like the AL East is a two-horse race between the Orioles and Yankees. So… is it too early to predict “who will own it?”















    Status of the Pitching















    The Orioles’ pitching staff, despite giving up 9 runs to the Diamondbacks on Sunday, have averaged about 2.86 runs per game in May. On a team with serious star power on the offensive side of the ball, the pitching staff is more than holding up its end of the bargain.

    Win, Lose, or Widow















    The Baseball Widows make us feel bad for not knowing the things that we ought to know. Additionally, the Magness and English families go head-to-head to see who knows one another better.







    Also, Henry could not be more disinterested, and we are so here for it.















    Around the Bases















    We go around the bases to discuss:







    First Base: What to do about Kimbrel







    Our feelings on the subject may surprise you. They may surprise us, too!







    Second Base: The Bench







    We talk Ryan McKenna, Jorge Mateo, and Heston Kjerstad. Isn’t it great that we’re arguing over the last couple of roster spots on a winning team?







    Third Base: Wednesday’s Game was not fun







    The Orioles beat the Nationals, and yet things were awful.







    Home Plate: Who is 6’5″ ?







    But why?















    Fantasy Boss















    Scott is up 3-2 because Jake was stupid enough to suggest betting on the weather. We have to get serious, so we move on to DONGS!















    Who will own it?























    Who had a great week? Who had a tough week? Who made us ashamed to be Orioles fans? Find out in this week’s GB&U.

    X of Y















    We made a LOT of jokes at the Yankees’ expense when they whined about how many ballparks a batted ball would/wouldn’t be a homer. This made us wonder “would it dong” about a number of other topics in MLB. Specifically, for how many other teams would this thing be a big deal?







    Don’t worry, this podcast is not funny in 30 out of 30 markets.















    Potpourri















    If we were true to our format, we would have gone around the bases, and selected four topics that weren’t quite big enough for their o...

    Between this not being reversed, the Schanuel hit being reversed, & an Adell steal at 3rd being taken away & called defensive indifference in a 2 run game, i’m predicting that the Orioles are MLB’s new golden child & that they’re going to the World Series pic.twitter.com/85kvjRXQta— swilly ☻ (@swillysports) April 24, 2024

































    The Draft















    There was a time that Orioles fans could be excused for being very distracted by the NFL schedule. As the NFL learned how to make its year-round football activities more and more of a spectacle, the Orioles became less and less compelling to watch.







    During these, the Darkest of Ages, Orioles fans would be glued to OTAs and preseason games instead of actual baseball games, starting in July. Baseball games would also take a backseat to the NFL Draft – an event that included weeks of prognostication, anticipation, and gallons of spilled ink.







    With that in mind, we present the 2024 Birdland Draft.















    Around the Bases















    In honor of the Orioles hitting home runs like they’re going out of style, we forego the rest of the bases, and we hit home plate each time…







    First Base:  Athletics, Yankees to round out April







    The Orioles are currently 16-8. There have been some bad losses, but the returns are pretty good so far. The Birds get the Athletics (8-16) at home followed by a big series ...
