Predictions







We have to be honest: the Orioles were not much fun to watch this week. And rather break down the many bullpen failings, and painful beatdowns, we’re going to choose to stop looking back, and start looking ahead.



We ignore the painful present and look to the future by turning our lack of insight and baseless opinion into a lack of foresight and baseless claims.







Age of Aquarius







After a segment full of predictions, listeners may wonder how we are so effortlessly able to tell of future comings. The answer is simple: here at Bird’s Eye View, we look to the stars.



Jake and Scott assign astrological significance to important figures in Orioles history, and share how these figures impact the future of our beloved team.







Fantasy Boss







Jake takes this week’s Fantasy Boss. The category was BB%, and Matt Taylor chose Cedric Mullins on Scott’s behalf. Mullins had a 3.7 BB% and Jake’s pick, Ramon Urias, had a 6.3 %.



That brings the Fantasy Boss score to 8-6. And Scott is back on the hot seat to pick this week’s category.



This week, the category is dongs. It’s a dongfest. Jake went with Cedric Mullins (on to 30/30!
