Luke Jones and Nestor begin to wave goodbye to Orioles season and Baltimore baseball perhaps indefinitely

/

With the Baltimore Orioles circling the drain the next two weeks and then watching the postseason once again from the outside, Luke Jones and Nestor begin to wave goodbye to any reality of a normal offseason in Birdland or anywhere MLB is played with the pending offseason labor war.

Orioles giving “chase” in AL race to the bottom of the wild card

Can the Baltimore Orioles still make a playoff run?

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the disgust of Orioles fans in aftermath on another selloff

/

Did the Baltimore Orioles throw in the towel on the 2026 season on Monday? Probably. But as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, this current project of Mike Elias isn’t working at any level and the haul for Adley Rutschman plus the other deals with Dean Kremer, Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells have certainly disgusted what’s left the of Orioles fan base. Another selloff; different ownership. Does anyone know what they’re doing at The Warehouse?

Luke Jones and Nestor assess Orioles trade deadline prospects as arms continue to impress

The pitching of the Baltimore Orioles has been much better than expected and certainly good enough to win most nights over the past two months. But, it’s the bullpen that might need the most help and be the hardest to improve as the MLB trade deadline awaits on Monday. Luke Jones and Nestor assess the dealing position of Mike Elias and what might make the Birds buyers or sellers in any specific deal as it appears the franchise will continue to reach for help in a race-to-the-bottom wild card dash in the mediocre American League pennant race.

/

When owner David Rubenstein said the Baltimore Orioles were “open for business” back in April after signing Shane Baz, we said we’d believe what we see in payroll spending.

We should all agree that starting pitching is pretty important.

Luke Jones and Nestor lament Orioles throwing away 7-game winning streak in Boston on Monday night
