Casper Wells and Allen McCallum debate Orioles and MLB offseason labor mess with Nestor at State Fare on MD Crab Cake Tour

/

Anytime we can bring our favorite baseball folks together to discuss the state of the game in the fall as the playoffs begin and the leaves change, we’re thrilled. We loved having former MLB outfielder and Towson Tigers alum Casper Wells talking seams with our longtime baseball insider Allen McCallum to debate the Orioles state of the franchise and another gloomy MLB offseason labor mess at State Fare on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

The Orioles long, perilous road back to being a serious contender with lousiness of Team Mike Elias

/

We don’t think much about this Baltimore Orioles “program” is working as intended. After another season where most things went wrong and not enough went right, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the franchise’s long road back to the field with the Major League Baseball labor crisis about to ignite and what fans can expect with another Mike Elias “rebuild” that feels extremely unwarranted and unwanted by everyone but the ownership.

A wowser from Cowser and mooing off the catch of the year in Colorado

/

Was it the greatest catch we’ve ever seen? Luke Jones and Nestor are unsure of the legacy of Colton Cowser’s late-night, game-saving robbery in Denver, but the stakes have certainly risen as the Baltimore Orioles are back to .500 and ready to stalk a Wild Card berth in September at Camden Yards. Moo.

Luke Jones and Nestor recap Orioles series win over Cardinals and look ahead to Sacramento and Denver

/

After taking two of three from the Cardinals in St. Louis, it’s imperative that the Baltimore Orioles keep their momentum into sleepy Sacramento to take on the woeful Athletics before a trip into Denver to face the similarly awful Colorado Rockies. Luke Jones tells Nestor that this is the week for the Birds to get back into this Wild Card race as a leader instead of a chaser.

The fair criticism of foul umpiring and broken MLB review system

/

Was the Pete Alonso home run fair or foul? Science said it was fair; the umpires called it foul. Luke Jones and Nestor throw the flag on the MLB video review system, camera angles and contribute to the general lousy mood around Baltimore after another Orioles late loss to the New York Yankees at Camden Yards.

The (continuing) frustration of Orioles losing close games to Yankees at Camden Yards

/

Another quality start from Shane Baz was wasted at Camden Yards on Tuesday night as the Orioles continue to play the foil to the New York Yankees with a Wild Card berth at stake in a sloppy American League race. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the eternal frustration of Orioles losing close games to Yankees all these years later.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles next 10 days of make or break against Rays and Yankees

/

It’s long past the point where the Baltimore Orioles have shown any consistency but they’re still in the pennant race. Next up: the Tampa Rays and New York Yankees.

Can Orioles make these next 10 days count against best teams in AL East?

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.

#ColumnNes I’ve seen enough: It’s time to fire Mike Elias

/

I know, I know. The MLB Draft is coming. It’s midseason. There are big deadline deals that will need to be made in July. Blah, blah, blah. Plenty of reasons to just let Mike Elias stay warm in his rented seat and not rock the franchise boat. But I’ve seen enough to know he’s not going to survive – and shouldn’t – so I would make the move now and adjust.

We’re waiting for the grown-ups to step forward to acknowledge the current realities – and soon. Luke Jones and Nestor give a 4th of July overview of Birdland with the All Star Game, MLB trade deadline and an offseason labor car crash in progress.

Luke Jones and Nestor stay up late with losing Orioles in Seattle

The roar that came in Seattle on Tuesday night certainly wasn’t from the Orioles’ bats.

A shove of Baz with a side of Mayo

/

As the Baltimore Orioles inch toward .500, this 8-3 stretch has featured multiple good starts from the rotation and different stars every night in the lineup. It’s not optimal, but it’s improving. Luke Jones and Nestor talk Shane Baz and Chris Bassitt and the Coby Mayo and Blaze Alexander platoon possibilities as the Birds look to steal another series at Fenway Park from the Red Sox after taking the opener.
