This week on The Bat Around, Zack Goodman of the "Nate Hit the Foul Pole" Podcast sits in as co-host with Paul. Stan Charles is on at 10:20 to talk the Orioles hot start, the Beltway Series, and the Orioles rotation moving forward. At 10:50, Paul and Zack breakdown the Beltway series and dissect whether or not the Nationals are a playoff team. At 11:35, Eric Arditti of Barstool Sports is re-joins the show to talk Orioles sustainability, Chris Davis' leash, and when we can expect Ryan Mountcastle. Plus, Take to Rake. Can Paul or Vasilios take a 2-1 lead, or did Jeremy Conn swoop in and take the week?
