    Evan Altman of CubsInsider.com joins us to explain why a Machado deal would make sense for the North Siders. The question remains, though: Would it make sense for the Orioles?

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 30, 2018 - Why the Orioles should trade Adam Jones Apr 30, 2018

    Adam Jones has been the face of the Orioles for a decade. He is beloved in Baltimore and has always represented the city and team with class and dignity.

    Nonetheless, it is time for the Orioles to part ways with the five-time All-Star, argues our guest, Paul Valle of Eutaw Street Report. Valle says the O's should deal Jones while making every effort to re-sign Manny Machado.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 26, 2018 - O's history | The best Orioles team ever Apr 26, 2018

    The 2018 Orioles are shaping up to be one of the worst teams in Baltimore history. That's no fun.

    Instead of wallowing in misery, let's take a look back at the best team in O's history. The 1970 O's won 108 games and took the American League East by 15 games. After that, they went 7-1 in the postseason to earn their second World Series title.

    Author Mark Armour joins us to discuss that glorious season and more.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 24, 2018 - Time to tear it down, Orioles Apr 24, 2018

    The 2018 season has been a disaster so far for the Orioles, who find themselves at 6-17 and with seemingly little hope of righting the ship.

    Will Leitch, national correspondent for the MLB, joins us and says it's well past time for the O's to make Manny Machado and other stars available to the highest bidder. The rebuilding process will be slow and painful for fans, he says, but the team has no choice but to give up on the past and present and look to the future.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 20, 2018 - The Orioles are bad, but things look good down on the farm Apr 20, 2018

    It's no fun to talk about the 2018 Orioles, so we decided to take a look at the Orioles of the future. Luke Siler of Orioles Hangout joins us to talk about how Baltimore's prospects are looking so far.

    Among those who have caught Siler's eye: The six-man Delmarva rotation led by D.L. Hall, Frederick 2B Preston Palmeiro and Norfolk RHP David Hess.

    It's all great, though as prospects Austin Hayes and Cody Sedlock have struggled so far in 2018.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 19, 2018 - The Orioles have the worst contract in baseball Apr 19, 2018

    Chris Davis has been one of the worst players in MLB so far in 2018, and the 32-year-old looks like he may be effectively done as an everyday player. That's the bad news.

    The worse news? Davis is only in the beginning of Year 3 of a huge seven-year deal he signed with the Birds in 2016. What do the Orioles do about what is clearly the worst contract in baseball?

    Matt Kremnitzer of Camden Depot joins us to discuss that and more, including whether the Orioles should consider trading Jonathan Schoop, Brad Brach and others at the trade deadline.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 12, 2018 - Is Buck Showalter really on the hot seat? Apr 12, 2018

    Two weeks into the 2018 season, the Orioles have been one of baseball's most disappointing teams. So disappointing, in fact, that some observers seem to think longtime manager Buck Showalter's job may be in jeopardy.

    But is Showalter, whose contract expires at season's end, really in danger of losing his job? Sporting News baseball writer Ryan Fagan joins us to discuss that and more.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 11, 2018 - Manny Machado should be playing third base Apr 11, 2018

    The Orioles moved Manny Machado to shortstop and Tim Beckham to third base this season. The move may be good for Machado when he hits the free-agent market, is it good for the team?

    Andrew Stetka of Eutaw Street Report and MASNSports.com joins us to explain why he thinks the Orioles made a mistake is allowing Machado to play shortstop and forcing Beckham to an unfamiliar position. So far, neither player has looked comfortable defensively.

    Stetka and host Justin McGuire also talk about Baltimore's early season attendance woes.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 10, 2018 - Has the Orioles' Rule 5 strategy hurt the team? Apr 10, 2018

    The Orioles are carrying three Rule 5 players on their roster this year, including two relief pitchers. Has such a strategy backfired by limiting the team's roster flexibility and forcing inexperienced pitchers into key situations?

    Eduardo Encina of The Baltimore Sun joins us to discuss that and more. Other topics: WhetherBrad Brach in danger of losing the closer's role and who will be the odd man out when Alex Cobb joins the rotation.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - April 9, 2018 - Is Dylan Bundy ready to be true ace for Orioles? Apr 09, 2018

    Through his first two starts, Dylan Bundy has looked like the ace Orioles fans have envisioned since the righthander was selected as the fourth overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft. Can he keep it up?

    Craig Edwards of FanGraphs joins us to discuss Bundy's development and whether he would benefit from pitching on extra rest. Edwards examined that question in depth for a recent article and found some intriguing results.

    Plus, Josh Sroka of Section 336 returns to the podcast to discuss the Orioles' amazing weekend series against the Yankees in which the Birds won three of four games in the Bronx.

    What does Orioles' slow start mean for 2018 and beyond?

    Let's not sugarcoat it: The Orioles are a bad baseball team right now. The O's are 1-4 and have struggled with both pitching and hitting so far in 2018.

    What does the slow start mean? Is Buck Showalter's job in danger? Will the Orioles we sellers at the deadline? Can the Birds survive a brutal April schedule?

    Luke Jones of WNST radio joins us to discuss that and more.

    The 2018 Orioles are off to a rough start, but they will not go 0-21. That was the fate of the 1988 Birds, who set a major league record for futility with their terrible start.

    Matt Taylor of Roar From 34 joins us to discuss that infamous season. How did a team with two future Hall of Famers play so poorly? What was the state of baseball in Baltimore at the time? And why did the city embrace such an awful team?

    It wasn't fun, but it was part of Baltimore's rich baseball history.

Eric Huysman of Climbing Tal's Hill joins host Justin McGuire to talk about the Astros and their many strengths, including Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and a Justin Verlander-led starting rotation.

    Also, McGuire looks back at the O's weekend woes against Minnesota. Was the pitching to blame? The hitting? Or both?

    And why exactly are the Twins mad at Chance Sisco? We talk about that as well.

    Mike Berardino, who covers the Twins for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, joins us to preview the series.

    Jason Foster and Jason Wheatley join host Justin McGuire to break down the shocking event -- and its ugly repercussions for Benes and her friends, Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza and Cosmo Kramer. Truly this is an episode about nothing.

    With Opening Day just over a week away, the Orioles finally made the big move many fans had hoped for, signing free-agent RHP Alex Cobb to a four-year deal.

    Was it a smart move for the Birds? Josh Sroka of the Section 336 podcast joins host Justin McGuire to break down the signing and assess whether the Orioles should now be considered a legitimate playoff contender. Also, they look at where Cobb slots into the starting rotation.

    The Orioles need starting pitching. Free-agent RHP Alex Cobb needs a job. Seems like a perfect match, right?

    For some reason, though, the O's have showed little interest in the former Ray. Kyle Andrews of FOX Sports 1340 AM joins us to discuss that and the state of the Baltimore rotation. Is Chris Tillman a lock? How about Mike Wright?

    Andrews also talks about the Orioles' catching situation and who will make the Opening Day roster.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 16, 2018 - Why didn't the Orioles spend this offseason? Mar 16, 2018

    With several big contracts coming off the books, the Orioles looked primed to make a splash in the free agent market this offseason. Instead, the team has limited itself to uninspiring add-ons like Colby Rasmus and Andrew Cashner.

    Jon Shepherd, editor of Camden Depot, joins us to try to figure out why Dan Duquette & Co. have kept the payroll so low in a year in which the Birds ostensibly are trying to contend. The answer may not be too pleasing to O's fans.

    Other topics addressed include the MASN controversy, Anthony Santander and whether Brady Anderson is likely to take replace Duquette.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 14, 2018 - On Hunter Harvey question, Orioles must do the right thing Mar 14, 2018

    Top Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey has looked impressive so far in spring training, leading many to wonder whether the 23-year-old former first-round draft pick might break camp with the big club.

    But Luke Siler says that would be a foolish move for the O's considering Harvey's injury history and lack of minor league experience (he pitched in only 18 2/3 innings in 2017). Siler, a prospect writer for Orioles Hangout, joins us to discuss how Harvey has looked so far and what Baltimore's long-term plans might be.

    Siler and host Justin McGuire also talk about Chance Sisco, Austin Hays and other Orioles prospects.

    The Orioles didn't do much to improve their shaky starting rotation during the offseason. At this point, only Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman and Andrew Cashner look like locks to be starters -- and all come with questions.

    The Tampa Bay Rays are planning to move away from a five-man rotation, and Steve Caimano of Eutaw Street Report thinks the Orioles should take a similar step. He explains the benefits -- and possible drawbacks -- of his radical plan to use a three-man rotation.

    Also, we talk about Hunter Harvey's future and more.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 9, 2018 - Is ESPN right about the Orioles' future outlook? Mar 09, 2018

    Things look bleak for the Orioles over the next five seasons, according to ESPN's Future Power Rankings. The Birds rank 28th out of MLB's 30 teams. Ouch.

    Dan Szymborski, ESPN analyst and co-author of the rankings, joins us to discuss how Baltimore's outlook is hindered by a weak farm system, indecisive front office and ineffective offseason moves. The Orioles, he says, likely need to completely change their culture if they are going to compete in the mighty American League East.

    It's not all bad, however. Szymborski says Orioles have some reason to be optimistic about young pitchers like Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy, Hunter Harvey and Tanner Scott.

    Tim Beckham? Colby Rasmus? Adam Jones? Who will be the Orioles' leadoff hitter for the 2018 season?

    The problem, as always, is that the O's lack high on-base percentage hitters to slot into the leadoff spot. Would Buck Showalter consider a rookie like Chance Sisco or Austin Hayes? What about a veteran like Alex Presley?

    Tyler Young of Camden Chat joins us to discuss Baltimore's less-than-inspiring choices to hold down the No. 1 spot in the lineup. Also, we discuss where Jonathan Schoop and Manny Machado figure to bat.

    LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 5, 2018 - The Manny Machado conundrum Mar 05, 2018

    The Orioles superstar, who has been on fire so far this spring, will almost certainly leave the team via free agency after the season. So does Baltimore trade him now while his value is high or hope to ride his hot bat to contention in 2018? And when do they make that decision? How close do a playoff spot do they have to be to hold on to Machado?

    Ryan Fagan of Sporting News joins us to discuss that and more. Among topics addressed: Do the Orioles try to add Alex Cobb or another arm before the season starts and what will become of Adam Jones?

    Also, Justin McGuire bids farewell to former Orioles relief pitcher Sammy Stewart.
