Show notes
– – –
Leading Off
At the non-waiver trade deadline, the Orioles did something. Good, bad, or indifferent, the Orioles have added Jeremy Hellickson and Tim Beckham to the team. Derek Arnold of Eutaw Street Report pinch hits for Scott this week, and helps Jake break down the moves, and how impactful they might be.
As always, the show begins with The Drink of the Week. Be sure to join us on Untappd – you can find us at jakee4025 and magn8606 (and Derek is at Nestminder)!.
The Medical Wing
Derek thinks Trumbo is being given the Pot Hole treatment. What say ye, Birdland?

If the #Orioles actually just found someone to take Mark Trumbo, maybe the Hellickson deal can be forgiven.

Seriously, after the way Kim was treated in Baltimore, if I'm a KBO hitter, I'm not sure I'd even considering signing with the team.

#Phillies traded Jeremy Hellickson & cash to Baltimore for OF Hyun Soo Kim, LHP Garrett Cleavinger & int'l amateur signing bonus pool space. pic.twitter.com/Pq7qG8UnMS

Reminder that this ASG is the continued punishment of the Orioles by Selig for a bad deal that he agreed to. https://t.co/CfcxykzKDE https://t.co/qydnSTXBEJ

Wonder if once again the Orioles will fail to use Britton when it most matters.

He did it! Albert Pujols caps big day by grounding into 350th double play, tying Cal Ripken Jr. for MLB record. #LAAngels

Trade Deadline Drama
The Orioles refused to sell, and they didn’t really buy, either. Instead, they acquired Jeremy Hellickson to bolster the terrible pitching rotation, and got some guy named Beckham. Our research team is still working on it, but we assume that this is him, pictured above.
The Orioles seem just crazy enough to think they’re still in it for the 2017 season, and are clearly (whether this is prudent or not) going to make another run at the playoffs in 2018. Since they’re going to try for it anyway,
