The Bat Around The Bat Around

The Birds are flying high after taking 3 of 4 from the Yankees and securing the series-opening victory against the Reds in a rain-delayed pitcher's duel Friday night. Cole Irvin has notched 20.2 scoreless innings, leading the Orioles to 3 shutouts in his last 3 starts, and the bullpen has allowed just 1 run in their last 15.1 innings after last weekend's debacle against the A's. PressBox's own Luke Jackson fills in for the bachelor partying Ryan Blake to discuss that and more with Paul on The Bat Around!

The Orioles have been red-hot, but they did suffer a tough loss at the hands of the lowly Oakland Athletics Friday night, as Kimbrel struggled, the offense was offensive, and a fan-least-favorite returned and left his mark. Plus, Holliday out, McKenna...in? Paul & Ryan break it all down, and more on The Bat Around!

The Orioles bullpen completely fell apart, wasting a solid Dean Kremer start, and the offense failed to get anything going until it was far too late. Despite that, the team has had a solid week and a solid start to the season. Paul and Ryan discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

The Orioles are ahead of last year's pace after a sweep of the Red Sox in Boston, but Friday night's 11-1 loss at the hands of the Brewers magnified the team's offensive woes, headline by top prospect Jackson Holliday's 0-11, 7 K start to his big league career. Paul and Ryan aren't panicking. Are you? The guys discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

The O's are off to a hot start at 5-2 and yet, somehow, some prospects are knocking down the door as Norfolk--at least offensively--is off to an even hotter start; perhaps the hottest start we've ever seen? Paul and Ryan break down that and more on The Bat Around!

The season is HERE and Corbin Burnes got off to a great start with 11 Ks in 6 innings of 1-run ball! Paul and Ryan discuss Opening Day, a Tides eruption, and preview this afternoon's matchup. That and more on The Bat Around!
