 Leading Off
The Orioles were a regular MASH unit this week, and had a poor showing against the Damn Yankees. Of course things are all terrible, right? Right? Actually……… as it turns out, the starting pitching did a passable impression of a major league rotation, and nobody really talked about it. The season moves pretty fast – if you don’t stop and look around, you might just miss it.

There’s a lot going on right now. With that, it’s time to go Around the Bases.
First Base – Offensive Struggles
Second Base – Padres in the Outfield?
Third Base – The Future is now?
Home Plate – Cleats for The Kid
 
Chris Davis’ Day Off

The O’s were hit by the stomach bug this week. Suuuuuuuuuuuure they were. That’s the easy answer, if you want to accept that excuse. We have a more… colorful opinion of what actually took place.
The BEV Players are proud to present their production of Chris Davis’ Day Off.
 
Fantasy Boss

Again, Jake and Scott pick the top 1 and 2 in their category this week, but much like Highlander (seriously, this show is all about 80s movie references this week), there can be only one.
