We're LIVE from LECOM Park before the Pirates take on the Orioles, and it's all about Konnor Griffin's first home start of the spring. We talk what we want to see from Griffin today (at-bats, reps at short, “leave no doubt”), plus a look at Mitch Keller's second start and why his changeup focus matters as he ramps up. We also hit: Mason Montgomery's nasty stuff vs. the key: command and first-pitch strikes Lineup notes: Jake Mangum leading off, Brandon Lowe at 2B, Reynolds/O'Hearn, and Nick Gonzales rolling into WBC time Henry Davis' rough spring so far, but a VERY encouraging BP session (and a bold homer call) The vibe at camp: media day buzz and a teaser for our upcoming recap featuring an interview with Lauren Shehadi If you enjoyed the show, hit Like, subscribe, and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

The Pirates take down the Orioles 6-1 in Bradenton, and this one belonged to the “Young Bucs” late. Jim and Tyler break down the seventh-inning rally, standout base running, and why the prospects made the difference. We also dive into a strong day on the mound as Mitch Keller and a parade of relievers keep Baltimore in check, plus thoughts on Konnor Griffin's 0-for-2 that still featured loud contact and good at-bats. Then: MLB Network's Lauren Shehadi joins the show from Pirates camp to talk the vibe around this team, the Griffin hype, the NL Central outlook, and why Pittsburgh feels different this spring.

Luke Jones from WNST joins the podcast to chat Orioles and whether or not we're athletic enough to bowl.
CC Sabathia's No. 52 officially getting retired by the Yankees, with the ceremony slated for Saturday, September 26 vs. the Orioles. The guys lay out why CC is an automatic “yes,” why the championship-count argument is lazy, and why being a first-ballot Hall of Famer going in as a Yankee ends the discussion. Calls roll in with pushback, Bernie vs. CC comparisons, and even a detour into whether A-Rod's number should be in the rafters too. From there, the show pivots to the Jets and the nonstop quarterback carousel, including the “bridge QB” debate around Kirk Cousins, what Frank Reich's presence means, and the bigger question Jets fans keep asking: is there finally a real plan, or is it just another year of vibes and wishcasting. More calls hit on roster direction, organizational competence, and who actually has the brighter future right now. And then, out of nowhere, Tampa International Airport becomes the main character, with a viral push to ban pajamas (and allegedly Crocs) from the airport. The guys argue comfort vs. common decency, draw a line between sweatpants and pajama pants, and spiral into the classic department-store holiday photo tradition that somehow involves showing up in matching pajamas. It's a full hour of Yankees pride, Jets anxiety, and one very heated etiquette debate.

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!

There are certainly reasons to be optimistic that the Baltimore Orioles won't repeat a last-place performance in the American League East but losing two blue-chip, emerging players before March doesn't lift hope.
