KC & PIT tied for most spring losses, and the Mets didn't win for 2 full weeks. I bet the teams w great records are all for real, though.

Ortiz on the ovation in a city he never played in before: "They watch TV, I guess." Called it surprising and welcome.

I'll never be able to describe my disappointment at not getting the chance to announce a guy named "Nigel Nootbaar". https://t.co/IQ8BFcjpmN

Around the Bases

Around the Bases is our segment we turn to when there is either too much going on to devote an entire segment to, or… not enough. You be the judge.
As the Orioles round out their Spring Training schedule, we take the leftovers, give them a stir, and throw them back in the microwave. Join us, as we go Around the Bases on the following:
First Base: Does Miggy come back to the organization, does he contribute at the MLB level?
Second Base: Is JJ for real this season? what will we get from him?
Third Base: So guys, what is a “Xavier Avery”
Home Plate: What metrics should we be watching to tell us if Schoop is having the breakout season we all hope/expect?
Interview with Ryan Wagner

 
What’s the one thing you want to hear on Opening Day? No, it’s not the drunken cries coming from Pickles.
Ryan Wagner, Public Address Announcer of the Baltimore Orioles, joins to prepare for the 2016 season and to give us his insight on MLB Social Media policy, the Baltimore Riots, and Top 40 Music right now.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Who had a great week?
