Visiting Dugout Episode 88 — Baltimore Orioles

Dream, of For The Numbers Fantasy, joined Chrystal to chat about the sorry state of the Baltimore Orioles and help preview the upcoming series.

The White Sox and Orioles face each other in what could be a mid-off after a slow start from the O’s, and well, Chicago being uninspiring after a painful, record-breaking season in 2024.

Here is what we talked about:

  • What’s new with the Orioles
  • Was Brandon Hyde’s firing a scapegoat for deeper issues within the organization?
  • The grass isn’t always greener; see Rick Hahn and Chris Getz as an example of that
  • How much can the front office be blamed when the product on the field can’t hold up their end of the bargain?
  • Rating the offseason
  • Jackson Holliday’s mechanical changes and move to leadoff
  • Injuries have plagued Baltimore, and pitching is abysmal
  • Pitching matchups, of the three, Tomoyuki Sugano might be the only good O’s starter the White Sox will face
  • Trade bait, and the lack thereof with Luis Robert Jr.
  • Old friends of the White Sox who are doing better elsewhere
  • Is Gunnar Henderson the biggest threat to White Sox pitching?
  • The keys to winning the series
  • Fears ahead of the series
  • Why we’re seeing a lack of the long ball and fun home runs
  • The AL East has been really bad, and the AL Central has been really good
  • The Dodgers are deep in the pitching injury drought
