March 22, 2018 08:00 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MBFans and analysts have spent a lot of time talking about the Orioles' potential weaknesses in 2018. Today we're going to take a different approach and look at the club's strengths. R.J.

LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 21, 2018 - Breaking down the Alex Cobb deal
March 21, 2018 08:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBWith Opening Day just over a week away, the Orioles finally made the big move many fans had hoped for, signing free-agent RHP Alex Cobb to a four-year deal. Was it a smart move for the Birds? Josh Sroka of the Section 336 podcast joins host Justin McGuire to break down the signing and assess whether the Orioles should now be considered a legitimate playoff contender. Also, they look at where Cobb slots into the starting rotation. Give us your thoughts on the Cobb signing at lockedonorioles...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 20, 2018 - Why haven't the Orioles pursued Alex Cobb?
March 20, 2018 09:00 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MBThe Orioles need starting pitching. Free-agent RHP Alex Cobb needs a job. Seems like a perfect match, right? For some reason, though, the O's have showed little interest in the former Ray. Kyle Andrews of FOX Sports 1340 AM joins us to discuss that and the state of the Baltimore rotation. Is Chris Tillman a lock? How about Mike Wright? Andrews also talks about the Orioles' catching situation and who will make the Opening Day roster. Learn more about your ad choices.

LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 16, 2018 - Why didn't the Orioles spend this offseason?
March 16, 2018 04:23 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MBWith several big contracts coming off the books, the Orioles looked primed to make a splash in the free agent market this offseason. Instead, the team has limited itself to uninspiring add-ons like Colby Rasmus and Andrew Cashner. Jon Shepherd, editor of Camden Depot, joins us to try to figure out why Dan Duquette & Co. have kept the payroll so low in a year in which the Birds ostensibly are trying to contend. The answer may not be too pleasing to O's fans. Other topics addressed include t...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 14, 2018 - On Hunter Harvey question, Orioles must do the right thing
March 14, 2018 05:00 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MBTop Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey has looked impressive so far in spring training, leading many to wonder whether the 23-year-old former first-round draft pick might break camp with the big club. But Luke Siler says that would be a foolish move for the O's considering Harvey's injury history and lack of minor league experience (he pitched in only 18 2/3 innings in 2017). Siler, a prospect writer for Orioles Hangout, joins us to discuss how Harvey has looked so far and what Baltimo...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 13, 2018 - Should Orioles ditch traditional five-man rotation?
March 13, 2018 12:23 - 17 minutes - 12 MBThe Orioles didn't do much to improve their shaky starting rotation during the offseason. At this point, only Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman and Andrew Cashner look like locks to be starters -- and all come with questions. The Tampa Bay Rays are planning to move away from a five-man rotation, and Steve Caimano of Eutaw Street Report thinks the Orioles should take a similar step. He explains the benefits -- and possible drawbacks -- of his radical plan to use a three-man rotation. Also, we talk...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 9, 2018 - Is ESPN right about the Orioles' future outlook?
March 09, 2018 06:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MBThings look bleak for the Orioles over the next five seasons, according to ESPN's Future Power Rankings. The Birds rank 28th out of MLB's 30 teams. Ouch. Dan Szymborski, ESPN analyst and co-author of the rankings, joins us to discuss how Baltimore's outlook is hindered by a weak farm system, indecisive front office and ineffective offseason moves. The Orioles, he says, likely need to completely change their culture if they are going to compete in the mighty American League East. It's not a...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 6, 2018 - Who will hit leadoff for the Orioles?
March 06, 2018 14:40 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MBTim Beckham? Colby Rasmus? Adam Jones? Who will be the Orioles' leadoff hitter for the 2018 season? The problem, as always, is that the O's lack high on-base percentage hitters to slot into the leadoff spot. Would Buck Showalter consider a rookie like Chance Sisco or Austin Hayes? What about a veteran like Alex Presley? Tyler Young of Camden Chat joins us to discuss Baltimore's less-than-inspiring choices to hold down the No. 1 spot in the lineup. Also, we discuss where Jonathan Schoop an...
LOCKED ON ORIOLES - March 5, 2018 - The Manny Machado conundrum
March 05, 2018 05:00 - 20 minutesThe Orioles superstar, who has been on fire so far this spring, will almost certainly leave the team via free agency after the season. So does Baltimore trade him now while his value is high or hope to ride his hot bat to contention in 2018? And when do they make that decision? How close do a playoff spot do they have to be to hold on to Machado? Ryan Fagan of Sporting News joins us to discuss that and more. Among topics addressed: Do the Orioles try to add Alex Cobb or another arm before the...

LOCKED ON ORIOLES - February 22, 2018 - Is Buck Showalter a genius?
February 22, 2018 13:09 - 21 minutes - 20 MBUnder Buck Showalter, the Orioles frequently win more games than the various advanced stat forecasting systems say they should.
