Leading Off With a few series under our belt, Bird’s Eye View returns for some it’s-too-early-to-tell caveating. The Jackson Holliday era has begun, but we are just as interested in the other, other kids. Drink of the Week Join us for the Drink of the Week, and let us know how you’re consoling yourself as you watch the O’s. Find us on Untappd * magn8606 * jakee4025 This Week on the Socials Around the Bases We go around the bases for the first time here in 2024, for a few topics that won’t get called for obstruction. First Base: Jackson Holliday The Orioles #1 prospect has just been promoted. Can’t we just recycle some material for this? We talk about what we expect from the young “second baseman,” and what we thought of his debut. Second Base: The Other Kids Now that we’ve talked about Jackson Holliday, we should talk about the other kids. No, not those kids. The other, other kids. Everyone talks about Adley and Gunnar. But we want to acknowledge the moment that Cowser and Westburg are having. Third Base: NOT too early? What is it not too early jump to conclusions about? We discuss what the sample size does and does not tell us. Home Plate: Rosturbation The Orioles are playing with the edges of their 40 man roster. They have paid cash for a pitcher and they have picked up a position player for the second time on waivers. There was a time when we would have to care about things like this. Now, it’s just an organizational curiosity. Fantasy Boss Jake takes an early lead, by correctly predicting that it would be Ramon Urias who collected a hit before Tony Kemp. To be fair, Kemp ended his Orioles tenure without collecting a hit, so… there’s that. The score now stands at 1-0, Jake. This week’s category is DONGS. Scott took Anthony Santander Jake went with Cedric Mullins Who will own it? 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. Tweet us your selections @birdseyeviewbal with #OsGood, #OsBad, and #OsUgly.
