What's up guys? On today's bonus pod, Jake asks a very important question: What's going on in Birdland? The Baltimore Orioles were for many years extremely (and deliberately) terrible. But all of a sudden, they're playing competitive, exciting baseball. Now, why would they do that? To answer the question, we welcome on good friend of the pod Eric Arditti (@editti22) the Barstool Sports blogger who's been covering the O's running on 8 seasons now. Jake and Eric chop it up for almost an hour, discussing the Orioles rebuild, the emotions surrounding it, the fruits it's finally bearing, and much more. We hope you enjoy this brief step out of the football space, and we'll be back with more regularly scheduled programming very soon.
