Leading Off



Hi. We hope this episode finds you well – in good health and good spirits.



OK, this may be on us. After raving about how fun the Orioles were to watch the week before last, we didn’t always get that this past week.



Meh, we’ll take it. It’s still baseball.

This Week on the Twitters







Here’s what’s going on in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:




Orioles within the past couple weeks renewed their interest in Yasiel Puig. But it’s a mystery what’s going on with him now.— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 15, 2020





Ben McDonald having never owned a computer feels pretty on-brand— Big LG Twins fan (@NaturallyKatz) August 22, 2020





Let’s be honest. We’re all crying. pic.twitter.com/r0MpMH2N6R— Baltimore Orioles 😷 (@Orioles) August 21, 2020





The idea of trading Tanner Scott makes me boiling, cursing, spitting mad. When the team is back in contention, they will need backend arms like his. I don't want to hear another word about it.— Paul Valle III (@PaulValleIII) August 21, 2020

Around The Bases







FIRST BASE



Farewell, Dwight Smith Jr. – we barely knew ye. And that which we did know was… kind of meh.



SECOND BASE



Welcome to the the Era of Mountcastle.



THIRD BASE



Is Givens still untouchable? Is he likely to be touched in this short season? Are we not doing phrasing?



HOME PLATE



Apparently, Gary Thorne and MASN were locked in a contract dispute. We miss our broadcast A Team, while heaping praises on our A- Team.











BS CORNER



Then Jake had some leftover stuff.







The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly







Who had a great week? Who had a tough week? Who made us ashamed to be Orioles fans? Find out in this week’s GB&U. The guys run through their Good, Bad, and Ugly for the week.
