SAMUEL BASALLO EXTENDED FOR 8 YEARS, $67 MILLION Aug 22, 2025

Show notes

THEY FINALLY DID IT! The Orioles have locked up a member of their young core, and it's an unlikely candidate indeed. Samuel Basallo has received an 8 year, $67 million extension less than a week after being called up to the O's, as first reported by the Baltimore Sun's Andy Kostka. Jake and RDT are live to react to the first major extension of the Mike Elias era, how they feel about it going to the youngest member of a young core that now has some players in their mid-20's, what this means for Adley Rutschman's future, and much more. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon.

Show notes

The guys are back for another Orioles-centric episode, this time to break down all things MLB trade deadline. In a development that probably would've shocked everyone as recently as March, Baltimore officially sold big time at the deadline, moving on from hired arms, and beloved homegrown pieces alike. We react to the trades, the return the front office got back, the 2026 outlook, and what it could all mean for beyond next year. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon.

SERIES RECAP: O's Stumble out of the Blocks vs. Rays Jul 20, 2025

Show notes

We're back from a short break as All-Star week has come and gone, and the Orioles unfortunately picked up right about where they left off for the first series of the 2nd half. Their two losses to Tampa Bay to start the weekend looked like more of the same, and today's win to end it is just another tantalizing reminder of what could have (and maybe should have) been with this team. Jake and Eric break down all the action, and look ahead to what to expect as August approaches. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very, very soon.

Orioles First Half Wrap Up Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

The Orioles first half has wrapped up in......depressing fashion. Bryan Baker shipped out of town in a trade to Tampa, Ryan O'Hearn speaks to the media about the ASG, and the draft happened! A bunch of new little baby birds have entered the nest... there's a lot to get to, and we hope you enjoy us trying to make sense of it all. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon.

SERIES RECAP: Orioles Fading After lost Series vs. Texas Jun 27, 2025

Show notes

The guys are back with another midweek show, this time breaking down the action between the Orioles and Rangers at Camden Yards. Jake and Eric get into all the hype of the first game in which Trevor Rogers threw one of the most unexpected gems of an eight inning start in recent memory, which was then squashed by an equally maddening game 2 and 3. Three home runs in a row to break a no-hitter weren't enough to power the O's to a win in Game 2, and the offensive malaise continued into Game 3 as Jacob DeGrom shut them down to the tune of a complete game for much of the action. As the All-Star Break and trade deadline approach, it's starting to become clear that this team has all the makings of a seller, rather than one that would buy or even hold. The only question is, how much of a seller will they be? Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon.

SERIES RECAP: O's Drop Competitive Series to the Yankees, Fall to 33-44 Jun 22, 2025

Show notes

The podcast is back for an early Sunday recording, as Jake and Eric have plenty of thoughts on the 3-4 week of Orioles baseball we just saw, including a disappointing effort against New York in today's loss. Do the O's stack up well against the AL East after a few blown leads in several days? Can they continue their winning pace under Tony Mansolino with injuries once again proving to be an issue? There's a lot to chew on, and not much time to find answers as the trade deadline approaches. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon!

Show notes

The show is back on this Father's Day Sunday, as the Orioles rebounded from a disappointing Detroit series by sweeping the Angels at Camden Yards. Jake and Eric are here to discuss a promising effort from an offense that appears to be on the rebound, some extremely encouraging returns to the lineup from guys like Jordan Westburg and Gary Sanchez, a more aggressive mindset under Tony Mansolino, and much more. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon!

SERIES RECAP: O's Drop the Sacramento Series Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

The Orioles closed out an overall successful west coast road trip in disappointing fashion dropping two of three games to The Athletics. Jake and Eric are here to recap the action that featured two fairly eventful games, and a third one that was a bit of a snoozer, and put a bitter cap on what could've been a series victory. The guys get into all the action, and look ahead to The Tigers series on today's podcast. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon.
