Leading Off
As excitement for the MLB First Year Player Draft swirls around us, this is an unusually odd episode of Bird’s Eye View. With Scott away this week, Matt Taylor of Roar From 34 steps up to the plate (mostly to ensure that Jake is not some crazy person talking to himself on the internet).
The news of the day is Adley Rutschman. And that this team is very bad.

Here is an interesting little Orioles nugget for this afternoon:
The Orioles have turned 60 double plays this season, most in the Major Leagues. So there is that.

Went to the dog park today and met a dog named Jeter. Had trouble moving to his left.

Around the Bases
First Base: The Draft
It’s official: the Orioles drafted Adley Rutschman first overall. This looks suspiciously like a good move – or, at least, a move every other team in baseball would make. At this point, that is an achievement in itself.
Second Base: Friday’s Game
With all the ugly games there have been this season, we should treat ourselves, sometimes. That game was simply too fun not to discuss.
Third Base: Roster Moves
What should we think of the Cisco move? Could Mountcastle be on the way soon? Is DJ Stewart a cautionary tale.
Home Plate: 2018 vs. 2019
Jake and Matt take a moment to reflect on which season resulted in more tears. Which season has been your least favorite?
Freaky Friday
