MLB.com prospect analyst Sam Dykstra joined Paul and Ryan this week to dig into the Orioles' farm system. In the infield, we talk about Jackson Holliday's torrid pace, Jordan Westburg's value to the team, Joey Ortiz's performance thus far, and some notes on Connor Norby and Cesar Prieto. Is Coby Mayo destined for a move to the outfield, where he might join Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad? For pitching, it might be time to move DL Hall to the bullpen and Cade Povich has been great. We also break down who has the best tools in the farm.

Episode 36 - Orioles SS Prospect Luis Almeyda
Ryan had the opportunity this week to chat with Orioles prospect Luis Almeyda, who was the jewel of the Orioles 2023 international class and signed for a club record $2.3 million signing bonus. We talked about his journey, what he has learned along the way, where he gets his inspiration, and more centered around baseball. Then, in an effort to get to know Luis Almeyda the person, we talked more casually about life outside of baseball, his interests, superstitions, nicknames, music, MLB The Show and much more.

Episode 35 - Pitcher List VP Alex Fast
Alex Fast, Orioles fan and Vice President of Pitcher List joined Paul and Ryan this week to discuss all things pitching. We touch on why Yennier Cano and Felix Bautista are so formidable at the backend of the Orioles bullpen, what roles best suit guys like Mike Baumann and Tyler Wells, what happened to Cionel Perez, the struggles and successes of young arms in the rotation, a few left-handed pitching prospects, and what tools to use when evaluating pitchers. What would Alex do over the next month if he were the O's GM? Also, is Ryan Mountcastle as unlucky as we think he is? That and more on this week's fun episode.
