Leading Off



We’ve arrived at the difficult part of the season. One might even call it the hard part. That is, if a person was not trying to avoid double entendre.

Clearly Hyde's fault for not using Pérez longer yesterday so that he wasn't available today— Matt Kremnitzer (@mattkremnitzer) May 7, 2023





Casablanca works so well because it's about a love triangle but there's also a 4th guy who would sleep with everyone in that love triangle and he is constantly saying some of the greatest lines in movie history. pic.twitter.com/Djw3yWo3IH— Ben Crew (@BenjaminCrew1) May 6, 2023

Around the Bases



First Base: The hard part



No, it’s not the waiting – it’s this stretch of the schedule. May has arrived, and so too has the gauntlet. The Orioles have a tough slate of games in front of them, and we’ll find out how this team compares with some of the best in baseball.



Second Base: Perception and Reality



Bullpen management has certainly been a topic of discussion over the last couple of weeks, and we discuss whether it is a legitimate issue or not. How much of this is the players? How much of it is Brandon Hyde?



OK, now that we’re on the topic of the Muppet-of-a-Manager… how good is Brandon Hyde? How good a manager can a team coming out of a long rebuild be? And if we don’t think he’s great (he’s not great), can he grow into the type of manager a great Orioles team needs?



Lastly, Orioles Twitter: be better. Don’t make this less fun.



Third Base: Media Coverage



No, we’re not talking about the All-New-MASN-App. We discuss the coverage the Orioles received during the ATL series on:




* Atlanta radio



* FOX



* NBC/Peacock
