From Vance Honeycutt’s bat to Enrique Bradfield Jr.’s speed and defense, Mike Shildt is HIGH on Baltimore’s next generation and believes ‘there’s big leaguers in our system.’” ⚾️

“Championship players think and do for themselves.” 💪

Our latest @BirdlandTerr with Mike Shildt is out! It was a really fun interview with Mike and really interesting learning his day-to-day on the farm along with his thoughts on development and much more. @Steveonbaseball. youtu.be/5UbtkNYSn1U?is=qC6c…

If you can get a former MLB mgr with a .561 win pct to help your farm, do it. The O's did, when Mike Shildt, in the MLB playoffs in '25, was their upper level cood of instruction.
On this show , a great discussion with Shildt abt his yr on the O's farm.

O's fans have had, shall we say, strong opinions on mgr Craig Albernaz. Posted a few of my own here today and also passed on a few notes on new GM Jared Banner.
