Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the hopes that the Orioles can survive their newest round of injury issues. Jordan Westburg and Gary Sanchez have both landed on the IL and Colton Cowser was transferred to the 60-day IL. If the Orioles can survive these newest issues, do you think they can turn their season around?

In the third hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss Jordan Westburg's struggles and if they're concerned about it. They also talk about the NFL Draft potentially coming to Baltimore in the next few years and are joined by Lucy Burdge.

Jordan Westburg was an all-star last summer before an injury derailed the second half of his campaign. So far in 2025 he has not looked like his usual self. Is this a major cause for concern? Jim Hunter shares his thoughts.

Rob was joined by MASN's Kevin Brown during Tuesday's BBMS for a discussion on the root cause of the O's recent struggles. We know the pitching is bad but it's not like the bats are off the hook either. Does an Orioles resurgence hinge on guys like Adley Rutschman and Jordan Westburg?

The Orioles appeared directionless at times earlier this season. Jordan Westburg recently talked about the team's identity during an interview with Ryan Ripken.

Nuestra última bala era Jordan Westburg, pero no era el momento de darle esas responsabilidades a Westburg. Está pasando por un bajón importante nuestro antesalista regular. Ha perdido el timing. Lo dominan con cambios y en esta ocasión, también fue presa de los nervios. Nervios que ya venían destrozados por culpa del umpire que lo había ponchado dos veces con un par de bolas malísimas, de esas que el año que viene ya no van a volver a ser strikes y que van a poner en su lugar a estos umpires que no es que sean malos, es que son perversos porque los lanzamientos que a Baltimore bateando le cantaba strike, para los Azulejos los veía como bolas. Eso quiere decir que tienen clara la zona de strike, pero quién sabe por qué, toma esas decisiones. El año que viene van a quedar expuestos cuando se empiecen a permitir las apelaciones de lanzamientos claramente malos que son cantados strike.

Can Adley Rutschman return to his All Star form? Will Gunnar Henderson be healthy in April? Can Jackson Holliday stick this time? Will Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg continue to surge? Our pal Dave Sheinin of The Washington Post joins Luke Jones and Nestor talk Opening Day realities for Orioles as the Maryland Crab Cake Tour moved to Pizza John's in Essex for some expert baseball talk. The post Dave Sheinin of The Washington Post joins Nestor and Luke to talk Opening Day realities for Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Lou Blasi and Sky Dombroske review Sky's favorite draft values as we close out the draft season. Players talked about in the episode include Matt Shaw, Christopher Sanchez, Sandy Alcantara, Jasson Dominguez, Brandon Pfaadt, Jordan Westburg, and Oneil Cruz.

Jordan Westburg was great for the Orioles in 2024...and then he got hurt. The team's offensive went on the shelf with him. If the O's want to reach their lofty goals in 2025, they need a healthy Westburg at the hot corner. BlueSky Twitter Threads YouTube BlueSky Twitter Threads YouTube

For the 2025 O's, the 2B position is one of the few spots on the diamond without complete and total certainty. Can you project some steady improvement from Jackson Holliday? Or will you need to piece it together with Ramon Urias, a healthy Jorge Mateo, and some Jordan Westburg? Eli stops to take a look at Holliday's projections, and discuss how he sees the position shaking out this year. BlueSky Twitter Threads YouTube BlueSky Twitter Threads YouTube

Orioles writer for The Baltimore Sun Matt Weyrich joins to discuss the injuries piling up for the Orioles. He touches on Grayson Rodriguez, Gunnard Henderson, Andrew Kittredge, and much more.

They are joined by Gene Wang, Tim Murray, and Brian Wacker.

The Orioles have been fortunate to have good overall health so far this spring, but Jordan Westburg has been absent from most of their grapefruit league games with back soreness. Jake Rill joined the show to talk about Westburg's status as opening day quickly approaches.

Orioles writer for The Baltimore Banner Danielle Allentuck joined the show to discuss what she's seen at Spring Training. She touches on Cade Povich's success, Coby Mayo's struggles, injury updates on Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson, and much more.

Take 10 with Tim – September 20, 20241.Shohei Ohtani had one of the greatest games in baseball history. 6 for 6, 3 HR, 2 SB and 10 RBI that led to the Dodgers clinching a playoff spot. He's now sitting on 51 home runs and 51 stolen bases, slashing .294/.376/.629 with 77 walks. Where does this stack up in the greatest season in baseball history? Here are some others…a.Barry Bonds (2001) – 73 HR, 137 RBI, 177 walks, .328 BA, .515 OBP, .863 SLGb.Barry Bonds (2004) – 45 HR, 232 walks, .362/.609/.812 c.Mickey Mantle (1956) – 52 HR, 130 RBI, 10 SB, .353/.464/.705d.Ricky Henderson (1982) – 130 SB, 119 runs, .398 OBPe.Bob Gibson (1968) – 34 starts, 28 complete games, 12 shutouts, a 1.12 ERA and 268 strikeouts.2.Luisangel Acuna has been the talk of fantasy baseball since he was promoted. He's hitting .467 with two home runs. Ronald who? What do you think so far?3.Landon Knack pitched well on Wednesday and should get another start against the Padres next week. Are you interested?4.What has happened to Bobby Miller? He had a brutal start this week, and then was optioned to Triple-A.5.The Orioles are 18-24 since Jordan Westburg got hurt. Before that, they were 66-44. It's clear he was a massive part of the equation. He is just about ready for his return.a.Does this return the Orioles to who they were in the early part of the season?b.Is Westburg an immediate insertion into a fantasy manager?c.Speaking of the Orioles, they DFA'd Craig Kimbrel on Wednesday. It went South in a hurry for him. What happened?6.Jose Quintana has been shoving it in the second half, particularly of late. He has a 3.11 ERA with six wins since the All-Star break and in his last five games, he's 4-0 with a 0.28 ERA but only 20 strikeouts.a.What do you make of this resurgence?b.Is he setting a new baseline or is this just a hot streak?7.We have discussed Ryan Pepiot much this season, but he's posted a 3.64 ERA and 131 strikeouts in 121 innings. He shoved it on Wednesday night with 12 K's in 6 innings, but still did not get the win.a.What do you think about him for next season?8.Any advice for these last two weeks of the season?9.Juan Soto hit his 40th home run this week and his 200th for his career. It's crazy to think he's only 25. I'm assuming you believe he's on an HOF path? Who of these ten current MLB players have a shot at making the Hall of Fame? I didn't include the three obvious guys (Trout, Scherzer, Verlander)1)Mookie Betts – Age 31, 69.4 WAR, 269 HR, 1,607 hits, .294 AVG, 1 MVP2)Manny Machado – Age 32, 57.8 WAR, 342 HR, 1,894 hits, .279 AVG, 0 MVP3)Jose Altuve – Age 34, 52.9 WAR, 228 HR, 2,227 hits, .306 AVG, 1 MVPi.BTW, Jose Altuve taking off his shoes and socks to prove to the home plate umpire was a classic. Just awesome! That alone should push him into Cooperstown4)Jose Ramirez – Age 32, 51.4 WAR, 251 HR, 1,488 hits, .278 AVG, 0 MVP5)Aaron Judge – Age 32, 51.2 WAR, 310 HR, 1,017 hits, .287 AVG, 1 MVP6)Francisco Lindor – Age 30, 49.3 WAR, 246 HR, 1,486 hits, .274 AVG, 0 MVP7)Bryce Harper – Age 31, 50.7 WAR, 335 HR, 1,662 hits, .282 AVG, 2 MVP8)Gerrit Cole – Age 34, 41.8 WAR, 151 wins, 2,239 Ks, 3.20 ERA, 1 CY Young9)Shohei Ontani – Age 30, 26.7 WAR, 219 HR, 861hits, .277 AVG, 2 MVP10)Ronald Acuna – Age 26, 25.8 WAR, 165 HR, 815 hits, .289 AVG, 1 MVPIt looks like you need at least a 70 WAR to make it.10.What hitter are you targeting for pickup this weekend?11.What pitcher are you targeting for pickup this weekend?
