Camdencast: A Baltimore Orioles podcast‪.‬ Camdencast

There is something about the Royals where even when the Orioles beat them, they manage to do it in a way that maximizes agony in Birdland. Or maybe this is just Mark's enduring grudge over the 2014 ALCS. Whatever the case, the O's closed out a 5-1 week even with so much going wrong, especially in the bullpen, and now they head on to the Angels. Also in this episode, Mark looks at Wins Probability Added to see who's clutch and who's not so far.

The Orioles have hit 30 home runs in 18 games, leading every other MLB team and every Orioles team in history through the same number of games. Mark looks at the six O's batters who've contributed the most to the dinger tally to see who's likely to keep it up and who might not be. Also in this episode, some guarded excitement about Albert Suárez and his possible impact on the rotation mix, and some thoughts on the coming pitching matchups with this weekend's Royals series.

After the Orioles lost the first two games to the Brewers, the haven't-been-swept (in the regular season) streak was in danger, and early on Sunday it was in danger too even with Corbin Burnes on the mound. Mark takes a look at the good and bad from the Milwaukee series, surveys a couple of real problem areas for the O's so far, and looks ahead to this week's games against the Twins.

Mark is still plenty ready to be hyped about Jackson Holliday being on the Orioles, but the fact is through his first two games the most exciting development has proven to be the return of the homer hose. In this episode, Mark is singing the praises of Colton "the Milkman" Cowser - who seems to have been at the front of bringing back the water celebrations. Also, some talk about how Holliday's looked so far, and what a few smaller news developments this week might mean.

Mark is fired up about the Orioles reportedly having Jackson Holliday join the team in Boston tomorrow and he's not afraid to tell the world about it. In this episode, some eating crow over accusing Mike Elias of service time games, assumptions about where Holliday fits into the playing time mix, and some consideration of his likely competition for the AL Rookie of the Year, if he plays well.

The last week has been brutal for the Orioles offense, especially (but not only) for Austin Hays and Ramón Urías. Mark runs through some of the rough numbers for those guys and a few others before recognizing that there won't be any knee-jerk reactions from the front office - nor should there be. Hopefully the patience pays off.
