Camdencast: A Baltimore Orioles podcast‪.‬ Camdencast

The Orioles started off their nine games against contenders by going 2-1 against the Braves - fun except for everyone who went to the one loss, including Mark. It showed how the O's could probably use some bullpen help, which is the subject of speculation as we start with trade rumor season.

In this episode, talk about the debuts of Connor Norby and Cade Povich, and the fact that the TBA stuff makes everything FEEL incredibly chaotic.

The Orioles took two out of three in their series against the Rays, which is good, even though the most recent game before this episode was a dumb loss and that's bad. Mark answers a reader comment about when and how much to blame Brandon Hyde for things before moving on to being sad about Friday's John Means news. Means deserved to be a bigger part of fun Orioles teams but his left elbow had another fate in mind.

Since the last episode, the Orioles played five games against Sox teams and won them all. Pretty good! Mark discusses what's working out so well this year and also why it almost feels like constantly on the verge of slipping into something less fun. In the mailbag, a longtime listener notes that there's a changing of the guard coming for the outfield and wonders how soon the Orioles will make a permanent roster move to show that's happened.
