Yeah, the Baltimore Orioles lost two of three to the surging Atlanta Braves at Camden Yards but it was the Kyle Bradish press conference with owner David Rubenstein and baseball ops leader Mike Elias that Luke Jones and Nestor want to discuss after another lost weekend of terrible offense and bad defense.

As the team continues to sink on the field and shrink in the MLB standings, Luke Jones and Nestor assess the real talent of the Baltimore Orioles and wonder what the future of franchise will look like at trade deadline on August 3rd, And, of course, when “ownership” will get involved in this mess and relieve Mike Elias of his duties, which feels inevitable.

The roar that came in Seattle on Tuesday night certainly wasn’t from the Orioles’ bats. Luke Jones and Nestor stay up late with the evaporating offense of the Birds and the enthusiasm of the soccer audience that came to the Mariners game as World Cup mania and baseball’s newest craze melded in the late innings of a tight game.

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.
There’s been plenty of excitement in Birdland with a pair of walkoff homers by Colton Cowser leading the Memorial Day way in extra innings. But as Luke Jones and Nestor moo about a few wins, the Baltimore Orioles still sit far below .500 and have lots of ground to make up with the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays parked at Camden Yards this week.

The losing is unacceptable to the fan base and should be unacceptable to Baltimore Orioles “new” ownership. Luke Jones and Nestor once again discuss a last-place Birdland season on the brink in May as the Orioles return home in the rain after getting swept (again) on the road at the top of the AL East. The alarms should be a lot louder than they are for this wayward, doormat franchise.

Sure, it’s a 5-year, $68 million commitment to a starting pitcher who hadn’t even thrown a pitch for the Baltimore Orioles, but let Luke Jones and Nestor tell you what makes sense about the dollars that Mike Elias gave new hurler Shane Baz and why it happened now.

Lots of storytelling in this one as Nestor Aparicio shares with Leonard Raskin the original document that David Modell handed him 27 years ago when he was about to hire Brian Billick to be the next head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. They wonder how many of these “line items” current owner Steve Bisciotti would agree with – and whether they ever applied to John Harbaugh at all?

In a conversation about leadership styles and the tone set by Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti this week, Bill Cole and Nestor take a 30-year view on the franchise and its responsibility to the community.
