The only ones I really knew about were the MASN Orioles podcast on Wednesdays which I liked, but they're usually out of date by the time they do them. Baseball is an every day affair. Which is one of the appeals of Locked On Orioles. But even he's a little behind events on some days when games are played.

My favorite is Ryan Ripken's podcast. It's not strictly Orioles, but it features high profile guests and gives insight you won't get anywhere else. Except maybe Adam Jones.

A little off-topic as not strictly O's related, but I enjoy Baseball Bar-B-Cast, which is hosted by two guys that grew up in MD, one of whom is an O's fan.  They cover MLB generally. 

And I also occasionally listen to certain baseball related podcasts put out by The Athletic, in particular ones involving Derek Van Riper and Eno Sarris, as I find their insights into analytics informative. Although I am definitely sympathetic to those who find Eno a bit grating at times.

#1 - On the Verge.  Great in-depth coverage of our farm system, plus good mailbag episodes covering the major league team.  Only complaint is their production quality (audio) isn't good...but the content is top notch.

#2 - Adam Jones - no explanation needed.

#3 - Section 336 - it's fine.

#4 - Locked on Orioles - I usually listen while driving to work when I couldn't watch the game the night before.  Good recaps of games.  Great for the casual fan, but not for the fan that is seeking in-depth nerdy stuff.  Connor does his best, but he is clearly limited by the format expectations Locked On sets.  The pre-season crossover episodes with the Locked On hosts of other AL East teams are always awesome.

I have no idea how anyone can listed to Locked on Orioles. Not that I have actually listened to him but I see his takes on Twitter and he is just awful 90% of the time.

I know he has a good following and he deserves credit for that but god he’s terrible.

thats the first podcast I've found and, as a new fan, it's quite informative BUT it's a bit dry listening to him

I discovered Locked on Orioles today and found it both informative and helpful to understand the greater context of the each game. 

BUT ... what are your favs and why?

No, that guy is quite annoying to me especially on twitter. Horrible takes after horrible takes. He started the season calling out Elias...he's just a bad Oriole fan sadly.

He’s 23-24 years old. Has some knowledge, but has had way too many terrible takes. I think he has had the Orioles DFA about 1/3 of the current roster. Has no understanding of how the ebb and flow a season can take. Called out Elias as though he was some kind of authority. Makes a fool of himself regularly. And he injects his personal political views into things way too often. I listen on occasion, but only in the background in the morning.

I enjoy On The Verge, but it has its limitations as well. They are what they are.

I listen to the MLB Pipeline pod, and some of the BA pods.

Yea I see him trying to push his political views too. He always likes to take a shot at someone like Santander for no vax and stupid stuff like that..as if he needs another reason to be unlikeable.  Lol

I tried listening to this when I asked about podcasts a while ago and once he started getting into his politics I was like yeah, no shot.

      Promising AAA arms?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      And that team still didn't win anything, and neither did any other team except Texas. Must be nice to hang your hat on something that has 29 out of 30 possibility of happening

      You don’t he adds anyone?    This pen is not as bad as Texas was last year. They pitched well in playoffs.   You would think the team ERA is 12th in the AL. The playoffs start in a little over 3 months. It’s about getting there. Who is healthy and throwing well 3 months from now is what matters.

      From what I've been reading those are rare as hen's teeth right now.

      By no small margin, the chances of a drafted player making the majors for more than a cup of coffee are significantly better with a position player (and particularly a skill position player) than with a pitcher. And the higher the draft position, the greater the differential. So if one were to craft a strategy around this observation, it might be to load up on skill position players that seem to have big bat potential, and use them not only to stock your own club, but to acquire pitching later via trade (after other teams have assumed the risk of vetting the pitching for you). This startegy also affords you the ability of "selling high" on the better seasons of your MLB position players, in later arb. To some extent this appears to be what Elias is doing (although he doesn't seem to have mastered the "selling high" part..  I would also suggest that he would be better served by attempting to acquire a larger portion of promising AAA arms for his stockpile of position players, than trying to acquire MLB arms. That said,  the strategy only works if you actually TRADE the talent proactively, rather than waiting for logjams to occur, and for your MLB talent to reach FA

      They are too good a team for this to continue.  Right now it is something different every night.  They hit and the pitching sucks.  Pitching is good and the bats are cold.  Throw-in some occasional bad defense, 4 unearned runs last night and you get a losing streak. The 83 O's had 2 seven game losing streaks to keep things in perspective.

      The good thing about the current playoff setup is that you do not have to panic.  Back when only the division winners made the playoffs, you could not fall too far behind.  After losing 5 games in a row, the O's are still only 2 games out of first for the division and are 7 games up in the wildcard.   Elias has to wait over the next month to see exactly what the team needs.  If you try to make a trade at this time, you are going to overpay because the other teams are waiting for the deadline to hope a team becomes desperate.  You also have the issue of a most of the NL teams being in contention for the wildcard, not many sellers out there.  In another month, hopefully a few more NL teams realize they need to sell and that widens the trade market hopefully driving the price down for what has to be given up.
