Ben Nicholson-Smith

I am Ben Nicholson-Smith, joined by Arden Swelling.

Arden, how's Baltimore?

Yeah, it's not quite like the Blue Jays-Marlins rivalry that we saw this week with hit batters left and right.

John Schneider chirping Uri Perez.

That, you know, got a little bit heated at least.

But no, seriously, I do think that the Orioles-Blue Jays rivalry is real.

I'd say the Blue Jays-Yankees one is probably their biggest one right now.

Dodgers, I guess.

Blue Dodgers-Yankees.

Those are probably up there.

But Orioles definitely in that conversation and they're not playing great.

So even after a big win on Wednesday, Orioles struggling.

So as the Blue Jays face them, both these teams looking at this series as a chance to get to 500.

This isn't a chance to, you know,

really build on a strong start.

It's more to kind of right the ship, so to speak.

And we are going to talk about a lot of pending roster shuffles and roster decisions here as we record this on the morning of May 28th.

And front and center in that, Charles McAdoo on his way to the major leagues for the first time.

Yeah, exactly.

We record this now, seemingly just a promotion on Merritt with a 792 OPS at AAA.
