Word on the Street: A Baltimore Sports Short Podcast

On this week's episode, Paul is excited to be joined by longtime O's beat writer Roch Kubatko. Roch talks about covering the two losingest seasons in franchise history, players that need to be moved to the 40-man roster, Jonathan Villar's future, Austin Hays, and the 2020 first overall pick.

Many fans believe that Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt and players with character red flags represent a significant portion of NFL players. That's not true AT ALL. In fact, it's safe to say that the good guys in the NFL, as a percentage, surpass the percentage of the general population.

In this episode of The Payoff Pitch, we are once again joined by Eric Arditti of Barstool Sports. We talk about the current state of the rebuild, Hunter Harvey shutting down the Gnats late in a game, next year's draft, Anthony Santander's promise, and more. 

RSR once broke a story about Dean Pees' retirement. Another local sports outlet, largely forgotten, wasn't impressed.

Russell Street Report writers were regulars on 105.7 The Fan...until an April Fools Joke ruffled the feathers of CBS Radio management. Tough to believe, right? Here's the rest of the story.

The Andrew Luck retirement announcement was a shocker. It’s a huge blow to the Indianapolis Colts and the NFL. No one wants to see that kind of talent leave the game. But it happened and it saddens all who love the NFL. Unless you're a Colts fan...they were ticked off!

Up until his stellar performance against the Eagles, Trace McSorley has been rather inconsistent during Ravens training camp and the preseason. His outing in Philadelphia strengthened his case to make Baltimore's Final 53 Man Roster. But was is enough?

The Ravens and PA Announcer Bruce Cunningham appear to have amicably parted ways. But was it really as simple as Cunningham deciding he no longer had the passion for the job or was it more? We dare to speculate.

On this episode of The Payoff Pitch, Paul is joined by Eutaw Street Report Senior Editor Derek Arnold. The guys talk about the "mercy rule," relegation, and other silly ideas, as well as where some O's prospects will start 2020, and plenty more. 

In this week's episode, we have a very special guest, in Aberdeen IronBirds third baseman Toby Welk. We talk to Toby about his record-breaking pace in Aberdeen, being teammates with the #1 overall pick, and more. Later in the show, Russell Street Report's Vasilios Nikolaou joins us to talk about Jon Heyman's trash takes and plenty of other O's topics. 

On this week's show, Paul is joined by Dan Turner, former producer for The Big Bad Morning Show on 105.7 the Fan. Paul and Dan talk about Jonathan Villar's future, watching a rebuilding team, home run derby baseball, terrible umpires, and plenty more. 

On this week's show, Paul rants about some truly terrible takes from Steve Phillips and Thomas Boswell. Then he's joined by the voice of the Bowie Baysox, Adam Pohl. Adam fills us in on the progress of some of the players driving Bowie, who have been on a huge hot streak since getting off to a slow start. 

In this week's episode, we are joined by Todd Karpovich, who writes for several sites including Press Box, Russell Street Report, Forbes, and more.  We talk about Asher Wojciechowski, the potential next Orioles to be traded, Mark Trumbo's impending return, and more.  (Note: We apologize for the feedback/poor audio during the call with Todd. We'll do our best to make sure it doesn't happe...

On this week's show, Glenn Clark of GlennClarkRadio.com and PressBoxOnline.com joins the show once again. Glenn and Paul talk about the upcoming sellouts at Aberdeen, the Andrew Cashner trade, whether or not it makes sense to trade Trey Mancini, and what fans can do going forward to stay sane during the early stages of this rebuild. 

The Baltimore Orioles were more active in the International signing period than they've been in years thanks to Mike Elias. Matt Taylor of Roar from 34 joins us to talk about that and much more on this episode. 

David Lebron, currently pitching for the high-A Frederick Keys, loves going up against the best of the best, as he explains in this interview with Matt Pyne of Eutaw Street Report.

On this week's episode of The Payoff Pitch, ESR's Matt Pyne joins us once again. We talk about Manny Machado's return to Baltimore, the signings of Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson as well as their immediate futures in the organization, and whether or not the Orioles can punt 2020 like they did 2019. 

The Orioles are offensive to the senses, yet still boast a punchless offense. On this week's episode, Paul is joined by Eutaw Street Report Senior Editor Derek Arnold. The guys talk about the disappearing Orioles offense, Chance Sisco's future in Baltimore, and the joys of watching awful pitching year in and year out. 

The guys bring in Baltimore Blast Hall of Famer, Tarik Walker to discuss the renaissance of the MISL, the US Men's National Team. The women's 13-0 win and aliens!

On this week's show, Paul is joined by fellow Eutaw Street Report writer Dillon Atkinson. They talk about the recent turnaround from O's pitchers, especially Dylan Bundy, and the way John Means and Gabriel Ynoa are stabilizing the rotation. On offense, they discuss Richie Martin's sudden surge, Dwight Smith Jr.'s injury, Anthony Santander's call-up, and more. 

This week, the guys put long time referee, Gary Cartwright, in the hot seat. The conversations go from game shows to mullets in this riveting journey inside Baltimore soccer's corridors. Plus, we have the Swayze Player of the Week... Who earns the Mullet? Check out the latest of Baltimore's best soccer podcast!

Adam McInturff of 2080 Baseball is back to review the Orioles' 2019 Draft. They took Adley Rutschman first overall, but what about the rest of their haul? Adam breaks down a bunch of different draftees who could be future Orioles. 

In Part 1 of a five-part series hosted by Tony Lombardi, Eric DeCosta discusses the inside linebacker position, the growth of Patrick Onwuasor and Kenny Young and the developmental processes of Tyus Bowser and Tim Williams and why DeCosta believes that both are prepared to deliver on the potential that persuaded the Ravens to draft both linebackers.
