This Week on the Twitters
Buck Showalter went to Taco Bell last night, regretted it, now doesn't: "I’m doubling up. We won. We’re on a roll, man." And who can argue?

"I heard that song the other day," Buck Showalter said. "That Holler Back Girl. What's a Holler Back Girl?"

Please don't let the Joey Rickard situation turn out to be the Jake Fox situation.

The good news is that three batters into the game, Miguel Gonzalez hasn't given up runs. Bad news: As O's are on road, he hasn't pitched yet

Around the Bases
Around the Bases is our segment we turn to when there is either too much going on to devote an entire segment to, or… not enough. You be the judge.
As the Orioles round out their Spring Training schedule, we take the leftovers, give them a stir, and throw them back in the microwave. Join us, as we go Around the Bases on the following:
2016 (Awful) Predictions
Do you know what will happen in 2016? If so, that makes one of us. Every pre-season, we make terrible predictions, and this year is no exception. We’ll look back at our 2015 predictions, make a few new ones, and then argue over where we think the Orioles (and the rest of the league) will end up in the standings.
Please weigh in on the conversation. Tell us where we’re wrong. Give us your (awful) predictions on Twitter @birdseyeviewbal, and include #OsPredictions.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Who had a great week? Who had a tough week? Who made us ashamed to be Orioles fans? Find out in this week’s GB&U. The guys run through their Good, Bad, and Ugly for the week.
Tweet us your selections @birdseyeviewbal with #OsGood, #OsBad, and #OsUgly.
Blowing the Save
Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
