Episode 8 of BMore Wired, our Baltimore Sports Podcast

We are back with Episode 8 of BMore Wired, our Baltimore sports podcast. We introduce our first guest to the show and discuss the Baltimore Orioles, Ravens and more.

Episode 8 of BMore Wired is titled “Fashion Police” after another not-so-Baltimore sports podcast gave us a shout out on the air recently. We greatly appreciate it. So much so, Scott made Jason and Jerry his “Beefed It!” of the week. Thanks for everything guys.

Joe is a night removed from joining a New York podcast to preview the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees this week. On the show “Yanks Go Yard” Joe was asked about a season grade for the O’s and that is a topic Scott answers on this show. The guys also go into detail about Dylan Bundy’s first start, an MVP and LVP for each and discuss some of the trade rumors floating around. Scott goes ballistic about finding some starting pitching which is a must hear.

Joe and Scott were pleased to have their first guest on this episode as The Baltimore Wire staff writer Kyle Andrews joins the show. Kyle gives his thoughts on the Orioles and also has a great story about a basketball game between some MLB stars that took place when he was part of the Orioles groundskeeping crew. We also discuss Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker getting a new contract and Kyle ends his time on the show discussing the Washington Wizards. We want to thank Kyle for joining the show.

The guys continue with the discussion about Tucker and Joe asks which Raven deserves to get a new deal next. The other good news from Ravens camp is that Joe Flacco will be ready for the start of training camp next week. That is fantastic news for Baltimore fans. More storylines to follow for training camp can be found here.

The guys close out the show with two hilarious Crying Jordans of the Week and their “7s” which is a discussion of random stories in sports. Here are the “7s” for this week:

1. Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson put on a terrific show in the The Open Championship aka British Open. It was Stenson’s first Major win and he broke a Major record wit ha 264 score, meanwhile it was the 11th time that Mickelson has been the runner-up in a Major tournament.

2. All-Star game festivities ended with the AL winning the game and Giancarlo Stanton winning the Home Run Derby, which Scott predicted. Mark Trumbo hit some bombs in the Derby and Britton got the save in the game which was great to see.

3. The most bizarre story of this week might be the news that Darryl Strawberry and the New York Mets used to get it on in between innings during games. Does this surprise anyone? Things used to be much different back then. And we are jealous we were not a part of it.

4. The San Francisco Giants lost an extra-inning game over the weekend after Santiago Casilla balked in the game-winning run. Scott has an interesting take as to why Casillia balked on the play.

5. Brock Lesnar is under scrutiny for potential doping violation and that makes UFC 200 the worst pay-per-view in the company’s history. The “You don’t think that he was on steroids? I mean, he’s the biggest man I’ve ever seen,” explains how we feel about this situation.

6. Sticking on the UFC discussion, there was a fight that ended with one fighter throwing a Poke ball at an opponent after knocking him out. The guys get a real chuckle out of this one.

7. Tom Brady was denied an appeal and will FINALLY serve his four-game suspension from Deflategate. Does anyone really care about the case? The one thing we all agree on is thankfully it did not go to the Supreme Court and cost us tax dollars over some deflated footballs. More important things going on in this country than Brady and his balls.

Next: Episode 7- 777

This week’s episode ends with our “Beefed It!” where Joe takes a shot at the Seattle Mariners, while Scott continues to let Jason and Jerry get some. It was another fun week for BMore Wired. Now cue the Delmon Young.
