Word on the Street: A Baltimore Sports Short Podcast

In the debut episode of Give That Fan a Podcast, I’m joined by Paul Valle III, former host of The Payoff Pitch, who passes along the reins of the Eutaw Street Report podcast airwaves. We introduce you to the new show, recap the 2020 season, and take a look at what the Orioles roster might look like heading into next year.

Anthony Santander has finally joined the Orioles (it was revealed that he had tested positive for Covid19), but Dwight Smith Jr. is still nowhere to be found. Richie Martin suffered an injury requiring surgery and will be out for a few months. In the finale of The Payoff Pitch, Paul runs down those stories and more as we are now just over a week from our delayed MLB Opening Day. 

In this week's episode of The Payoff Pitch, Paul goes over the Orioles' truncated 60-game schedule, wonders why a couple Orioles haven't been seen on the field yet, and tears into the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network for their refusal to show us any O's intrasquad or other summer camp action.

And while excitement for the first live American team sports since March abounds, the future of the game of baseball, with a new Collective Bargaining Agr...
