It's less than ideal so far in Sarasota that two emerging, young Orioles stars in Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg are already lost for the start of the MLB season. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what it means for Coby Mayo and newly-acquired Blaze Alexander now that grapefruit baseball has begun and jobs are available in Baltimore. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Jordan Westburg injury and hopes for Coby Mayo at third base first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
Well, the news just keeps getting worse for Jordan Westburg, as his oblique strain looks like a cramp now that a partial tear to his right UCL has taken center stage. Out through April at a minimum, the Orioles--and Westburg--hope that a PRP injection will salvage his season, otherwise it looks like Tommy John Surgery for the former All-Star. Paul & Zach discuss the impact Westburg's injury will have, and what it means for Coby Mayo. Plus, the Polar Bear has played two games and has hit two HRs. So far, so good? And does Heston Kjerstad have a chance to make this roster? Find out that and more on The Bat Around!

Rob and Jeremy took some time from Friday's BBMS to discuss the impact that Jordan Westburg's potential absence could mean for the O's playoff hopes. Do you still see them as contenders to take the AL East without Westy?
Stan ‘The Fan' Charles is filling on this Friday alongside Griffin as the boys rundown the news of the day, we'll talk all about the latest on the Jordan Westburg injury after Mike Elias gave an update about an hour ago ahead of the Orioles first Grapefruit League game later this afternoon, so we'll chat all about Westburg, get more of Stan's thoughts on the O's and much more.

Luke Jones and Nestor take another swing at spring in Birdland with Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday injured before the team takes the field in Sarasota. The post Luke Jones and Nestor take another swing at Orioles spring with Westburg and Holliday injured first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
Ed, Rob, and Jeremy were joined by longtime O's writer Steve Melewski to hear his thoughts on the Birds as Spring Training gets off the ground. There's some rumors around Jordan Westburg's injury, with some saying that it's worse than the O's are letting on. Who should we believe?
Welcome in to a Thursday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, lots to cover on the program today, we'll talk some college basketball as it continues to entertain, we'll highlight anything that felt newsworthy from yesterday's press conference featuring the new Ravens coordinators, but we will start with news out of Sarasota this morning after Craig Albernaz addressed the rumors around the significance of the Jordan Westburg oblique injury… and provided–even less clarity. At 11:15am, we'll start by talking some hoops with Maryland basketball legend, and Basketball Hall of Fame Finalist, Buck Williams to see how he's doing, chat about his HOF nomination and what he makes of today's Terps before he's in College Park this weekend ahead of Saturday's game. We'll talk some baseball at 11:30am with Jacob Calvin Meyer of the Baltimore Sun, talk everything Spring Training, the Westburg injury, the salary cap negotiations between the MLBPA and the owners, and whatever else is catching his eye down in Sarasota this week.

The guys discuss if they believe Jordan Westburg could miss the entire 2026 season with his elbow injury.
Jordan Westburg has been missing from Orioles spring training so far with an oblique injury. If you were expecting a return anytime soon, think again! Craig Albernaz was pretty closed off in his answers about the third baseman.
It's officially the 2026 Baseball Season as The Bat Around is back to it's normal time slot of 8:30 PM Sunday Nights. And you know what that means...Zach Moore is back! Paul and Zach get you primed for the Grapefruit League schedule which is set to begin on Friday. Does Chris Bassitt put the Orioles over the top? Do you believe Mike Elias when he says Blaze Alexander's acquisition was a lucky coincidence, or is the VP and de facto GM spinning another yarn to cover up Holliday's hamate bone injury? Plus, Jordan Westburg slept funny again and will miss time this spring with an oblique strain. SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A TEMPURPEDIC! And what do these injuries mean for Coby Mayo?

Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg would have been two potential leadoff options for the Orioles, but they aren't available right now. Does that leave Gunnar Henderson as the only appropriate choice?

The road trip season has pushed us back a day but here we are squeezing in a show between Chanukah and Christmas. Vocabulary lessons this week include Competitive Balance Tax, because the Luxury Tax isn't just for Monopoly anymore, and Prospect Promotion Incentive (PPI). Just because it's the holidays it doesn't mean you can slack on learning. Our boyfriends this week are from BAL, where Patti leans into the once and forever boyfriend and Pottymouth goes Westy, and the Hammers, where Pottymouth picks a player with a wacky Tennessee claim to fame and Patti goes right to ROY. The Police Blotter features the return of Wander Franco's case to the courts, and the end of the Tyler Skagg's courtroom drama. The International Baseball update includes almost baffling chaos around the Serie del Caribe and the Serie de las Americas but the takeaway is absolutely please stop blowing up Venezuelan boats. We're both on yet more road trips and we wish you safe travels if you are too, and happy holidays if you celebrate. See you a day late again next week!We say, “A glass half full of Santa's Butt,” “There was some hockey, there was some smarts,” and “Donny was the youngest Osmond that had any juice.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
