Orioles

What do we really expect from Orioles offseason “improvement”?

Baltimore Positive

When the Maryland Crab Cake Tour came to Koco’s Pub in Lauraville, it was a chance to discuss the Orioles offseason expectations with two longtime Orioles observers and media types. Our sports cartoonist pal Ricig and Baltimore Magazine senior editor discuss the magic of 2023 and the possibilities for 2024 and beyond with Mike Elias.

Taking the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to the streets for the holidays

Baltimore Positive

With the Ravens on bye week and the Orioles dormant during the early stages of baseball free agency, Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos why he’s ramping up the neighborhood and community aspect of his Maryland Crab Cake Tour and taking it to the streets for the holidays around Baltimore.

Let’s talk facts about Orioles and the MSA Memorandum of Understanding

Baltimore Positive

Former Maryland Stadium Authority chairman Tom Kelso returns to answer more of Nestor’s very serious questions about the Baltimore Orioles lease, the “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) and what happens to Steve Bisciotti and the Ravens if Governor Wes Moore promises all of The Warehouse and Camden Yards land and power to the Angelos family.

What does John Angelos really want – and what is Maryland willing to give him?

Baltimore Positive

With the stadium lease drama about to go into extra innings in Annapolis and the typical Angelos family stall rolling on for baseball fans, longtime Baltimore journalist, author and Orioles historian John Eisenberg discusses the history of the franchise, the city and the downtown landscape he found four decades ago when he joined The Sun as a sportswriter and columnist.

Offseason magic with Home Run Riches winners during the holidays

Baltimore Positive

Every Orioles fan remembers Barbara Phelps-Anderson, who hit it big in the 50th Anniversary of the Maryland Lottery celebration when Ryan Mountcastle hit the 50th home run in a memorable Baltimore baseball summer. Nestor caught up with the huge Birds fans down in Sunnyside to relive the magic moment and talk offseason Orioles baseball.

Telling the whole truth about the uncertain future of the Maryland Stadium Authority and Camden Yards and the Angelos Family

Baltimore Positive

Follow the money. Wait for the real ink on the lease not the words of a man who lies regularly. Former Maryland Stadium Authority chairman Tom Kelso joins Nestor for a long-awaited, deep dive on everything about the $1.2 billion of your money that Steve Bisciotti and the Angelos Family are getting to keep their sports franchises in Baltimore. Ask someone who knows all the answers and you get them. Listen and learn. It’s important!

Are we getting ripped off by billionaire sports owners? (Of course we are…)

Baltimore Positive

It’s been three decades since Baltimore went “all in” on the promise of sports to revitalize a downtown community. Neil deMause of Field of Schemes tells Nestor that this Angelos family money grab and its parity clause benefit to Steve Bisciotti is the same in every city for American sports franchise owners. Socialize the debt; privatize the profit.

The Ravens’ relevance and the Orioles’ silence

Nestor Aparicio

As the clock ticks on the Orioles agreeing to a lease that would gift them $600 million of Maryland taxpayer charity, Dennis Koulatsos and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ relevance and local baseball offseason silence as the turkey and pumpkin pie loom.

What kind of a civic cash grab is John Angelos trying to get away with in darkness?

Baltimore Positive

Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos what he’s learned about the Orioles intentions for Camden Yards and the downtown area. And he doesn’t like anything about the facts he’s uncovered and the legitimate people with knowledge who are speaking out about the future of our city and who will control the future of the complex and the Maryland Stadium Authority.

Nestor Aparicio updates Dennis Koulatsos on facts he's learned about stadium negotiation and Maryland Stadium Authority

Here’s why busting up Maryland Stadium Authority is a bad idea

Baltimore Positive

As the silence from Annapolis continues and the “negotiation” between the Maryland Stadium Authority and John Angelos enters the 11th hour with no Orioles lease at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for 2024, Nestor Aparicio updates Dennis Koulatsos on the facts he’s learned about the deal and “Memorandum Of Understanding” that would disband the Maryland Stadium Authority and gift a whole bunch of valuable land and full power to the Angelos family.

What will Baltimore look like when we’re done?

Baltimore Positive

As we all await the Angelos Family signing a long-term lease at Camden Yards and the Orioles offseason spin will begin, Bill Cole and Nestor wonder exactly what the teams want and what the city needs to build a better future footprint for the Inner Harbor and the future of downtown Baltimore.

What is the next move for Mike Elias and Orioles?

Baltimore Positive

In an offseason with unlimited possibilities after incredible success on the field in 2023, Luke Jones and Nestor take a deep dive into the arsenal of prospects and abundance of position players the Baltimore Orioles have in their farm system. And what that could mean for an offseason of free agency, trade possibilities and the inevitable rising payroll that the Angelos family will need to support with more money.

Telling some real World Series tales from 33rd Street lore

Baltimore Positive

When you find out that your favorite science teacher from Dundalk High School actually went to the 1966 World Series as a 15-year old and dragged along his 11-year old brother, you have to get answers and stories. That’s what the Maryland Crab Cake Tour is all about! George Scheulen tells Luke Jones about his Wally Bunker experience as a kid.

Teaching the teachers about the science of radio

Baltimore Positive

For Nestor’s 55th birthday at Drug City in Dundalk on The Maryland Crab Cake Tour, he wanted to keep the conversation light with friends after the Orioles elimination from the MLB postseason. So, two teachers, Luke Jones (one-time 5th grade teacher) and longtime Dundalk science teacher George Scheulen attempt to teach Nestor about teaching.

What can the Orioles take ahead from the disaster left behind?

Baltimore Positive

We all wanted to see a better postseason showing from the Baltimore Orioles than a three-game sweep. Luke Jones joins Dennis Koulatsos to discuss the differences in October baseball and how the franchise will rebound from such a sudden and thorough exit from the World Series race.

So what’s the next step for Mike Elias and Orioles in offseason

Baltimore Positive

It was a beautiful regular season and a terrible thud of an ouster for the 2023 Baltimore Orioles. In the aftermath of Arlington and a sweep at the hands of the Texas Rangers, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the offseason of Mike Elias and the money of the Angelos family to support the next steps.

As the sun sets on Camden Yards, what might’ve been for 2023 Orioles

Baltimore Positive

It all ended so suddenly after so much fun for Orioles fans. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what made the Birds not good enough in October in Arlington this week and how future Octobers must be different – especially the pitching but not discounting the hitting. The disappointment will linger but will it burn enough for a postseason return next Fall?

The end comes fast and hard in October

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor lament the sudden end of a glorious Orioles season in Arlington and what could’ve made things go differently for Brandon Hyde and a team that won 101 games in the regular season.

Lending some perspective to Orioles and Ravens weekend and conflict in Israel

Comedian Lewis Black on going orange and black and never looking back

Baltimore Positive

When his usual comedic rants were softened by the Orioles fandom in his heart on the internet, we needed to reach to our favorite comedian Lewis Black to investigate his baseball soul from the D.C. suburbs to a life making jokes about Peter Angelos and Daniel Snyder. The man has suffered with Baltimore baseball and Washington football. Let him come clean on why Camden Yards in October is what heaven will feel like…

This Orioles team has performed the worst when the bright lights and crowds have appeared

Baltimore Positive

The bigger and louder the crowd, the worse this mostly young Orioles team seems to perform. That has to change in Texas. Luke Jones and Nestor head off to World Series-thirsty Arlington, Texas for Game 3 of the American League Division Series while the Ravens land in London licking their purple wounds from an awful loss in Pittsburgh.https://youtu.be/fHs92DT7yEo

First, the Orioles must survive Game 3 in Texas

Baltimore Positive

With their backs against the wall and needing to win three in a row, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Orioles hopes for a Game 3 victory in Arlington in the most hostile environment many of their youngest players have ever seen. Is there any hope to save the 2023 season?
