Ben welcomes Kevin Brown from ESPN and the Baltimore Orioles broadcast. He says the O's has become "America's Team" this year and a playoff appearance might just make them the best story in all of baseball. The season took a turn on a very specific day when the 2019 1st overall draft pick Adley Rutschman joined the team. They have not looked back since. Baltimore has really spent time working on their pitching from starters to bullpen and how they went about getting younger players max reps. We wrap the show with Arden Zwelling (23:00) who is working the broadcast with Ben Wagner tonight. Why he's monitoring the Manoah pitch count. Why so many fans and media members assumed these 2nd half games against the Orioles were supposed to be easy (and they are not) and whether or not the Jays philosophy on closers undervalues the position. Finally we end the show where it started and discuss the decision to hit Bo Bichette in the 7 spot and how he has never hit that low in the order in his entire career.
