Remember us? We used to podcast about the Orioles. We decided to get together to discuss the Orioles’ Winter Meeting doings.
But since that isn’t actually a thing, we just recorded an episode of Bird’s Eye View, like always.
Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

Here is what is happening in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

What Are the Stakes?
I've been an Orioles fan since a toddler, like 35-37 years or so. But when there's a point a team doesn't care about you as a fan or share any of your baseball values, are you really a fan? Until current ownership is gone or does a 180 on team philosophy, I'm out. pic.twitter.com/1sVnCpPUpH

Look, we love Dan. He’s an ESPN contributor, the creator of ZiPS, and a Bird’s Eye View guest. But his tweet got our juices flowing (maybe that was the point?). What do we, as Orioles fans, think about the way things are going, and what do we do about it?
If you don’t agree with the way your team is going about things, and you say “I’m out,” how does that differ from being a fair-weather fan? On the other hand, how do you continue to pour your emotions, time, and treasure into a team that just refuses to op...
