Beware the Canadian baseball beast in Toronto!

Beware the Toronto Blue Jays! And even if the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t win the World Series as heavy favorites, it’ll be clear why they’ll have money to spend as the Baltimore Orioles go to market for a manager and offseason acquisitions via free agency that will be chasing a new leaf of power and capital in the American League East north of the border, where they enjoy beating America in any way possible. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Fall Classic and the incredible Ohtani and Springer shows this October.

Luke Jones and Nestor take DeCosta and Harbaugh to task for lying about Lamar on injury report

The fiasco over putting Lamar Jackson as a “full” participant on a Friday afternoon injury report when he ran scout team and they knew he wasn’t going to start on Sunday has just begun for John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. His “excuse” was far less than believable as Luke Jones and Nestor also take general manager Eric DeCosta to task for pushing the gambling line five points on a Saturday in the NFL with pretty blatant dishonesty and “gamesmanship” for no one.

So, Lamar isn’t really playing? What are the Ravens hopes now against Bears?

/

Our Luke Jones attended the Monday practice in Owings Mills that Lamar Jackson missed. We sounded the alarm on him not playing on Tuesday morning. Turns out, he’s not playing. Now, the Baltimore Ravens have two games in four days next week and we’re reading the purple tea leaves about the desperation of a 1-5 football team on the edge of disaster.

It’s one step at a time with the tricky hamstring of Lamar Jackson

/

Sure, Lamar Jackson was back on the field in a “limited” role on Wednesday in Owings Mills. That’s a great sign. But, as Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the return of No. 8 to the practice field, no one is sure what two hours of football on Sunday against the Bears and Thursday night in Miami is going to look like in the speed of the NFL on the field.

The cold, hard reality of 1-5 and Ravens ‘awakening’ we’re all waiting on…

/

What ails the Baltimore Ravens beyond the injuries? Luke Jones and Nestor take a hard look at rest of NFL and teams like Detroit and San Francisco that are winning with missing pieces and wonder what the purple path is from last place and offensive and defensive line play that don’t figure to markedly improve as the depth charts thin further.

How to win two in a row?

In search of a purple soul in Owings Mills during bye week

The dismal 1-5 start of the Baltimore Ravens should have everyone on watch in Owings Mills during a very uncomfortable bye week as the team looks to regroup and get Lamar Jackson back on the field.

Lamar. Roquan. Hamilton. Humphrey. We’re still (mostly) buying that the Baltimore Ravens can climb back into the AFC playoff picture if they can get their best players back on the field against a weak upcoming schedule.

We lost the best of us this week. Veteran local media voice Craig Heist left us and left quite an impression on Luke Jones and Nestor at Camden Yards over the years.

The questions continue for the Ravens’ defenseless defense and its leadership

/

With the season on the brink at 1-4 and the defense getting decimated first by injury and then by opposing quarterbacks and running games, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ current operation and the job security of Zach Orr and the entire staff. And how will it improve given the current cast of healthy players and injured veterans?

Luke Jones and Nestor hold John Harbaugh accountable for Ravens horrible showing on field – and off of it

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh thinks Nestor “hates” him. Actually, we’re here to hold him responsible as the head coach of the team for the pathetic effort in the aftermath of a 44-10 loss and the embarrassment of the stadium emptying out in the 3rd quarter. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the horrific showing – on and off the field in recent years – and all roads lead to the top of the organization.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the lack of fire in Ravens horrible blowout loss to Texans at home

It was as bad as we’ve ever seen in modern Baltimore football, especially during the John Harbaugh era, but the soul searching that the head coach spoke of in the aftermath of a 44-10 beating at the hands of the Houston Texans leaves many questions about the whole operation. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the lack of fire and what the options are now that this once-Super Bowl promising season is on the brink. “Too many injuries” is not a valid message.
