It was not pretty, the run differential was -10 overall, but the Orioles just took a series from the New York Yankees. This episode discusses the team meeting that hopefully sparked something, the exploits of Tomoyuki Sugano, and the return of Felix Bautista. As a bonus, Heston Kjerstad is a bit of a hot head... but that's also exactly what we needed this week? BlueSky Twitter YouTube
Rob and Jeremy took some time from Thursday's BBMS to discuss the dust-up in last night's O's game between Heston Kjerstad and Pablo Reyes. Who was in the right in this situation? Overall, are baseball 'fights' one of the more ridiculous events in major sports?
Heston Kjerstad had to leave Saturday afternoon's game early after getting his elbow hit by a Hunter Greene fastball. Matt Weyrich provides some updates on the O's outfielder.
Ed, Rob, and Jeremy were joined by The Baltimore Sun's Andy Kostka on Thursday's BBMS for a discussion on the first three weeks of O's baseball. The team stumbled out of the gate and there's been a lot of outside noise about the lineups Brandon Hyde is throwing out each. Do guys like Jackson Holliday and Heston Kjerstad need to be in those daily lineups?
The guys discuss why they believe Heston Kjerstad needs to consistently be in the Orioles lineup more consistently.
In the second hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss why they want to see Heston Kjerstad in the lineup every night until he proves he shouldn't be there. They also talk about what they expect from Tomoyuki Sugano tonight and give their six Ravens on the hot seat.
The Orioles had everything going their way in last night's 9-1 win over the Guardians. Bob, Vinny and Nolan discuss Dean Kremer's strong outing and Heston Kjerstad's defensive gem in right field.
Heston Kjerstad made a game-saving catch last night while playing right field. His defense has been criticized since he was drafted, but Mike Bordick sees a young player taking some big steps forward.
Elijah stops by to discuss the concerning early-season performances from Dean Kremer and Heston Kjerstad. Due to the plethora of rotation injuries and the Colton Cowser fiasco, both of these guys have been elevated to pretty critical positions on the roster, and the O's will rely on them to change things up quickly. BlueSky Twitter YouTube
Heston Kjerstad has never had a chance to play every day at the major league level. An injury for Colton Cowser and the departure of Anthony Santander has opened the door for him to get more consistent at bats. Will he take advantage?
Rob and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to talk Orioles with MASN broadcaster Ben Wagner. It looks like the Orioles young core is ready to take the next step, but what exactly does that look like for guys like Heston Kjerstad and Coby Mayo?
Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from the third hour of Wednesday's BBMS to discuss where Heston Kjerstad fits on this year's Orioles. It's a crowded outfield and it appears that Kjerstad will fight to get playing time. With that said, should he be viewed as trade piece this Summer?
The Orioles have collected a lot of outfield depth this offseason, leading some to believe Heston Kjerstad could be packaged in a trade for pitching help. Keith Law has watched Kjerstad's progression over the years and believes the value isn't as high as it once was.
Spring Training is underway, and everybody is in the best shape of their lives and the ball is coming out of the hand great! Felix Bautista believes he will be 100% by Opening Day, Tyler O'Neill is as muscular as ever, and Heston Kjerstad is ready to take on a larger role. Zach Moore (PigTownSports) joins Paul to discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

Fantasy Baseball Live – September 15, 2024 – time to be determinedSegments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.What's up with Gerrit Cole intentionally walking Rafael Devers in the first and then when he faced him next, he intentionally walked him with nobody on base. I know Devers has owned him, but his walked led to four runs.2.Keider Montero had a shutout earlier this week and then shutout the Orioles for six innings today. Thoughts?3.Heston Kjerstad is back. Does he get enough at-bats to help fantasy managers?4.Ben Joyce hits the IL with a shoulder injury. Who would have thunk it?5.Tyler Glasnow is also out with an elbow strain for the rest of the season. He did beat his 120-innings high watermark, but barely. He's just a tough “own” for fantasy managers.6.Carlos Correa is back for the Twins7.Justin Verlander has not been good since returning from the IL, posting a 5.20 ERA. He did have a good outing last night against the hapless Angels. The arsenal is not what it used to be. His fastball is averaging 93.5 MPH, and his secondary pitches are still good, but nothing looks elite anymore (20-ish whiff rate). a.Is he a sit now? b.Should he be avoided next season?8.The Dodgers are saying that Shohei Ohtani might pitch in the playoffs. This seems like a bad idea to me. Your thoughts.Segment 3 – Waiver Wire and Closer ReportSegment 4 – Two-start pitchers

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 30, 2024Segments 1 and 2 – Review the games of the weekend.Additional Questions:1.Pablo Lopez with two strong starts but he has the Astros next. Do you start him?2.Heston Kjerstad hit a granny last night. Does he get enough at-bats to warrant rostering him?3.George Springer hit two home runs on Friday. One good night doesn't turn this season around, but are you still running him out, or is he on your bench? Are you dropping him in one-year leagues? How about Dynasty Leagues?4.It was announced on Friday that James Wood will make his debut on Monday. I'm assuming the Nat's did it to fill the seats on a slow, early summer Monday. Many rookie hitters have underperformed this season (particularly early after their callup), will he break that trend?5.Speaking of rookies, Jackson Chourio is getting better. He's slashing .314/.355/.543 with four home runs in June and only striking out 17% of the time. Is he starting to figure things out?6.WOW, the Mets. What has been the difference? They clicked once Francisco Alvarez got back, and they started Vientos or Baty. Is it that easy?a.They have crawled back to .500. Are they going to be buyers or sellers at the deadline?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose
