He may be a forgotten name in Orioles history because the early to mid 2000s Orioles weren't the most fun teams to watch. However, Rodrigo Lopez made his mark by winning 15 games twice and 14 games once. Lopez also finished second in the AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2002.
Today's episode is all about the career of Rodrigo Lopez!

Episode 44 - 1979 World Series
On this week's show we recap one of the worst memories for a lot of Orioles fans and that's the 1979 World Series. The Orioles had a commanding 3-1 lead in the series but the Pirates fought back to steal away the Orioles third potential World Championship. If you want to, go back in time with me to recap this soul crushing series.

Episode 43 - What if the Orioles resigned Markakis, Cruz & Miller?
I probably think about this more than I would care to admit but I've always wondered what could have been with the Orioles if they decided to bring back Nick Markakis, Nelson Cruz and Andrew Miller after the 2014 season. Well I dive into it on this episode and something tells me I won't feel much better afterwards.
A few years back Dan Connolly wrote a piece on this very topic, check it out here. (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2613305/2021/05/26/what-if-the-orioles-extended-nelson-cruz-and-nick-markakis-after-2014/)
