Episode 382: The Best Worst Case Scenario Bird's Eye View

Leading Off







Orioles current events robbed us of two podcasts. First, ownership news dropped the day we were supposed to record. Then, we had written a show about how the 2024 offseason was groundhog day, and nothing was ever going to change. Then the O’s signed Corbin Burnes, and we had to tear up 40 minutes of shtick.







Well good thing nothing of note was announced today, right?

This Week on the Socials























































New Ownership







We missed recording when the announcement of new ownership was, well… new. However, Jake was desperate to discuss the fanbase’s seemingly blind allegiance to some new rich guy that bought the thing our family has loved for generations.







And Scott shut that negative talking down effectively with one reference to Disney’s Robin Hood. Oo-de-la-lee.























The Best, Worst Case Scenario







Fans of a certain age enjoyed a period of Orioles greatness that rivaled any other great sports dynasty. Fans of a different certain age “enjoyed” a period of Orioles ineptitude that led them to be a complete embarrassment. Those fans are used to dealing in terms of the worst case scenario.







We take a look back at 2023 to see what best case and worst case scenarios played out, then look a head to 2024 to predict whether it is more likely for the best or worst case scenarios to take place.























Blowing the Save















Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
