The Orioles front office says the club's re-build is on track despite an 18-game skid. Ken was new to the Orioles beat back in 1988 when the O's lost 21 in a row. He explains the differences and what baseball can do to try to stop tanking. Then in the mailbag...
-Should MLB shorten games to help pitcher fatigue?
-Should the criteria for a win change with starters not pitching deep into games?
-Will the Angels be able to keep Ohtani in free agency?
-Is MLB returning to the Field of Dreams too soon?
-Would moving the All-Star Game to March help give players a mid-season break?
-How can Reds react if Castellanos opts out?
-Should Robert Clemente Day be given more attention? 
-Why do people care if a Hall of Famer is voted in unanimously?
