How about a half-hour of baseball talk to start your week off? All apologies to the other ball sports, but baseball is my jam.

On today’s show:

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde over the weekend, and the firing season may not be over just yet.
The Washington Nationals, for their part, are in Year 5 of a perpetual rebuild. Are the pieces in place enough to build a winner around?
UVA Baseball alum Chris Taylor was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers after 10 years in Chavez Ravine.
UVA Baseball, to me, looks like an NCAA Tournament team.
