A 4th of July overview of the current awfulness of the Baltimore Orioles – and what must change

Most nights, it’s mostly unwatchable. It’s been 43 years since a World Series and now into a third year of horrific new ownership that replaced a three-decade regime of awfulness has left the Baltimore Orioles franchise with plenty of empty seats, a sub-.500 record and a crisis for David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti. 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.

The Baltimore Orioles season is halfway to nowhere

/

Ownership. Management. On the field. Off the field. In the stands. Defense. Pitching. Hitting. Leadership. You tell us any place that this current iteration of the Baltimore Orioles is excelling? We’re now entering the second half of the 43rd consecutive season that the franchise appears to not be headed for a World Series parade. Luke Jones and Nestor reset a mostly-lousy Orioles season at the halfway point and during a half-hearted home stand at Camden Yards.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss mental errors and physical mistakes as Orioles lose another to Mariners

/

Throwing to the wrong base. Not knowing the count, not to mention the unawareness about having a timeout or whether you’re monitoring the pitch clock in the ninth inning when you’re losing and out of the batter’s box. It’s more than just swinging and missing these days for Luke Jones and Nestor, as they discuss mental errors and physical mistakes as the Orioles try to stop losing baseball games.

Staring up at the Tampa Bay Rays was never the plan for Orioles

/

It was great to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this week but as our resident Baltimorean trapped in Florida and old sportswriter Joel Poiley will tell you, it’s still mostly a mess for the first-place franchise that also has new ownership but an old and successful way of producing a competitive baseball franchise.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles warming up against Rays and Baz emergence in rotation

It’s only been a few days but the Baltimore Orioles are finally winning some games and getting some decent starting pitching. Luke Jones and Nestor also discuss the warming of (some of) the Birds bats and feeling some “magic” as the first two against the sloppy Tampa Bay Rays have gone in the direction of the men of Craig Albernaz and the Colton Cowser walkoffs have risen the orange spirits.
