With the Baltimore Orioles set to begin another season this week after a busy and eventful offseason, Geoff Arnold, the team's radio play-by-play voice, is this week's guest on the Final Score podcast.
Arnold chats with host Greg Swatek about his expectations for a young and talented team that won 101 games last season and finished the regular season with the best record in the American League, only to make a quick playoff exit against the eventual World Series champions, the Texas Rangers.
The guys talk about the makeup of the Opening Day roster, the decision to leave top prospect Jackson Holliday off of it and the decision to put top outfield prospect Colton Cowser on it. They discuss what former National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes will bring to the pitching staff, in addition to the sale of the team from the Angelos family to Baltimore billionaire David Rubenstein and what that might mean for the club.
Plus, Geoff reveals his favorite road cities to visit and call a game.
Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writers Alexander Dacy and John Cannon join Greg to discuss former Urbana High standout Trey Lipscomb nearly making the Opening Day roster of the Washington Nationals as a 23-year-old, as well as their early impressions of the spring season for Frederick County high school sports.
