We're back! And it's time for a Tuesday edition of the program with lots and lots to cover since we've been away. Glenn and Griffin return from their Summer hiatus so we will dive into everything that the Orioles have done, or haven't done over the last few weeks, discuss injury updates, the MLB Draft and much, much more. To help us recap what we may have missed will be our good friend Zach Moore, former Orioles minor leaguer better known as @PigTownSports and one of half of ‘The Bat Around' when he joins us at 11:20am, as we take Zach's temperature on the squad after the first half, what he's feeling good about, what he's concerned about, the trade deadline, Blaze Alexander's injury and more.

Nolan and Vinny reacted to the Orioles newest crop of draft picks. Mike Elias took more high school players than he has at any point in the last five years, including the 7th overall selection Eric Booth Jr.

En resumen, Mike Elias muy bueno para reclutar talento. Muy malo para confeccionar rosters. Porque cada cosa tiene su dificultad. No digo que encontrar talento sea algo fácil. Requiere habilidad. Pero hacer un roster es otra cosa muy distinta. Está clarísimo que Mike Elias ha alcanzado su nivel de incompetencia y por esa razón, lo que sería normal en una empresa privada, debería ser cesado de su cargo para poner a uno que esté especializado en el campo en el cual Elias falla: confección de rosters.

Orioles leadership needs to be realistic about the team's chances of making a run. However, there's a growing fear that Mike Elias will try to buy in an attempt to save his job.

As the team continues to sink on the field and shrink in the MLB standings, Luke Jones and Nestor assess the real talent of the Baltimore Orioles and wonder what the future of franchise will look like at trade deadline on August 3rd, And, of course, when "ownership" will get involved in this mess and relieve Mike Elias of his duties, which feels inevitable. The post Luke Jones and Nestor assess talent of Orioles and future of franchise at trade deadline first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Will this weekend be Mike Elias' final draft as GM of the Orioles? How do you look back on his previous seven classes? Tony Pente gave his thoughts on that.

This is not a playoff-caliber Baltimore Orioles roster as we approach the All Star break and it's now time to evaluate the numbers of years, money and real value of the "assets" of the entire organization. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss realities of Orioles buy or sell position in July at the trade deadline with "star" talent, a sob-.500 record and the future of Mike Elias very much becoming the fan focus – on and off the field. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss realities of Orioles buy or sell position in July with star talent and Elias future first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Estamos 6 por debajo de 500. Nos quedan 7 juegos antes de ir al all star break. Quisiera ver que nuestro juego es alegre, agresivo, divertido y sobre todo, chocamos la bola. Si eso lo vemos esta semana, pensaré que aún no todo está dicho y realmente seremos compradores. Si no lo vemos, vamos despidiéndonos de Trevor Rogers, Adley Rutschman, Yennier Cano, Andrew Kittredge, Tyler Wells, y hasta Dean Kremer. Incluso Colton Cowser, Kyle Bradish y hasta Gunnar podría salir este verano de los Orioles. Esta semana define la suerte de los Orioles con lo que veamos en el terreno. Y con la suerte de los Orioles, la de Mike Elias.

Rob, Ed, and Cordell discuss if they believe Mike Elias will truly consider selling at the deadline with his seat heating up.

A portion of the Orioles fanbase has been calling for Mike Elias to be fired for over a year. Will it happen after the end of the 2026 season? Could it even happen before the trade deadline?

Zach, Nick, and Bob discuss Mike Elias' recent comments on the state of the 2026 Baltimore Orioles and whether or not there is still hope to be buyers at the trade deadline.

It's been assumed for years that Mike Elias has some significant input on the daily lineup construction. Over the weekend he denied that and said that he only makes suggestions when Craig Albernaz asks for it. Are you buying that?

Mike Elias spoke for the first time in a while over the weekend and he was asked about the direction of the team as they hit the halfway point with a losing record. Roch Kubatko joined the show to recap the most notable comments.

In Episode 555, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about books and commencements and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.   1. Natty BOH NO: The Orioles are struggling, and they've identified the problem (not Mike Elias)2. We Be Reading Marx Where I'm From: The owners and league continue to make the hosts of this show annoyed.3. Pride Goeth Before a Fall: The Giants and the league continue to make the hosts of this show annoyed.4. Around the Horn: A surprising but not so suprising demotion, a lot of injuries, and one surprising call up5.

Mike Elias and A. J. Preller have two widely different views on roster construction in the modern age of baseball. However, this weekends series is a reminder that both have come up well short of expectations.

Developing pitching in-house has been a weakness of the Orioles in the Mike Elias era. Will Brandon Young change that trend? Mike Elias discussed that when he joined Vinny & Haynie on Thursday.

We knew that the bullpen of the Baltimore Orioles was always going to be a work in progress but we're starting to see some signs that Mike Elias will need more help. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds loss to the Seattle Mariners to begin a few weeks of West Coast ball at Camden Yards. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles loss to Mariners to begin homestand at Camden Yards first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

A caller would like to see the Orioles present Jackson Holliday with a massive contract offer. Would that be a wise decision for Mike Elias? Does Holliday even want to come to the table right now?

Year two of Tyler O'Neill's Orioles tenue has somehow been even worse than year one. How much worse does this have to get before Mike Elias decides to eat the money?

The losing is unacceptable to the fan base and should be unacceptable to Baltimore Orioles “new” ownership. Luke Jones and Nestor once again discuss a last-place Birdland season on the brink in May as the Orioles return home in the rain after getting swept (again) on the road at the top of the AL East. The alarms should be a lot louder than they are for this wayward, doormat franchise. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Orioles and Mike Elias era circling drain in AL East first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

It's time for another edition of the Friday Baseball Show with Stan ‘The Fan' Charles and Griffin Bass, plenty to talk about as we go over the Orioles and their disappointing recent stretch that most recently saw them get swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, we'll get Stan's temperature on the O's, look ahead to how important this upcoming long home stand is and see what Stan thinks of Mike Elias at this point.

Griffin will take us around the rest of the league in ‘This Week In (the rest of) Baseball' plus we'll get an update on Stan's Baseball Power Rankings!

The future of the Orioles lineup depends mostly on what Mike Elias wants to do with the designated hitter spot. Is he willing to have a full-time DH?

Welcome back for a Thursday edition of Glenn Clark Radio as we recap another disappointing Orioles series after they get swept by the Rays down in Tampa, we'll go over everything we learned, or what notions heading in that were reinforced, as we start looking ahead to a long homestand that begins tomorrow night.
