The Bird Brains Baseball Show

Jeff and Dave bid farewell to the 2026 season with commentary on the post season press conference given by Mike Elias and Craig Albernaz. And do we know if Trevor Rogers will be back? #Birdland #Orioles

Better baseball in future?  The brains talk about situational hitting and the lack of baseball IQ right now in Baltimore. Changes continue in the warehouse and will Craig Albernaz be the guy to get the team back to basics? 

Hope is the theme this week albeit a longshot for the O's post season chances.  Pete Alonso's return to NY is celebrated and some talk about his leadership and the team's future. 

The boys discuss an article from CBS Sports.com https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/polarizing-hitting-approach-took-over-mlb-driveline-baseball-kristian-campbell/ involving the use of DRIVELINE's Baseball data driven performance hitting techniques and how the Orioles are being affected by the infection.  

Bird Turds, Bird of Prey, .500 baseball for a minute and the end of a 10 game errorless streak.  Just another week of Orioles baseball. Dave and Jeff are still grumpy but the playoff quest continues. 

Derek joins Jeff and Dave and talks about how Craig Albernaz needed to support his team like Earl Weaver.  Alonso is king and Blaze Alexander is almost back all that and more on this episode. 

Dave and Jeff discuss, "Out of the playoffs, no we're In, No..." the up and down week that represents an entire Orioles season.  And "Where are our young pitcher's, why not in the pen?" 

Dave is back and discusses his take on the trade deadline moves.  Unearned Run % stat is identified and discussed as a problem area inside all levels of the Orioles system.

Derek sits in for Dave on a post trade deadline session trying to make sense of the loss of Adley Rutchman and why it may or may not make sense.

The southern information desk takes over the show this week.  Derek runs down the likely names we think will be involved with the Orioles at the trade deadline.
