Leading Off



This week’s show serves as a mini-reunion of sister-wives, and serves as a reminder that the Orioles are indeed very, very good, and we should maybe just all chill out a little bit.

This Week on the Twitters




I could listen to Jim Palmer complain about umpires every night.— Andrew Stetka (@AStetka) September 6, 2023





Because of his age and youthful look, Jackson Holliday had to talk his way into getting a room at a Norfolk hotel last night. #Orioles— David Hall (@DavidHallVP) September 5, 2023





Baltimore Orioles. THE BEST STORY IN BASEBALL. 63M payroll.630 winning Percentage. 2022 4 games over 500.2023 36 games over 500. Feels good.@MLB— Jim Palmer (@Jim22Palmer) September 6, 2023





The brooms are doomed. 🧹With their win against the Angels in last night's game, the @Orioles now have the longest streak of consecutive series of 2+/multiple games without being swept in American League history. pic.twitter.com/xmR8PjAdkc— MLB (@MLB) September 5, 2023








Sam Dingman Explains the World







We get a visit from one-half of the first ever guest on Bird’s Eye View when Sam Dingman stops in to chat about his latest project – Sports Explains the World.



Sam and cohost Alan have returned to regular production of Baltimorons, and somehow he has still found time to create a lovely show that Bird’s Eye View listeners should absolutely check out.



We love him, but he has very wrong opinions about British Invasion bands.







Around the Bases



First Base: A date that will live in infamy



September 6th is a great day in Orioles history. 2131, Adam Jones’ defiance in the Cal Statue Game, and oh yeah… some guy named Eddie Murray hit his 500th home run into a bleacher seat.



It’s a great time to be an Orioles fan, but this is an especially good day to be one, as well.



Second Base: Why aren’t more people having fun?



Some fans don’t seem to be having as much fun as we’d expect from a fanbase watching a team win at a .630 clip. We seem to have, in short order, gone from being just happy to be in contention to demanding perfection. Maybe a happy medium? Stress on the happy?



Third Base: DL Hall as a reliever
