The Baltimore Ravens are off to an impressive start in the preseason, and Mike Friskey and John Landskroener break down everything from the Ravens’ defensive intensity to the emergence of young players like Lane, Fagnano, and Hibner. Is Jesse Minter’s new defensive system already making an impact? Could the Ravens have uncovered some legitimate depth? And should Baltimore be concerned about the kicking game?
Then it’s time for the Baltimore Orioles, where somehow a team sitting around .500 is still right in the middle of the American League playoff race. The guys debate whether the Orioles can make a postseason run, what the return of Samuel Basallo could mean, and whether Mike Elias deserves criticism for failing to make bigger moves at the trade deadline.
They also tackle the big question: Could a sub-.500 team actually make the MLB playoffs—and potentially win the World Series?
