BMore Sports Pod Podcast; The latest on The Ravens and Orioles

Episode 20 of the Bmore Baseball Podcast features a conversation with new Orioles outfielder Christian Franklin, along with discussion between JC and Mike Bordick about potential Orioles promotions and player evaluation.
Featured Guest – Christian Franklin: The Orioles acquired Franklin from the Nationals for pitcher Joe Glassey. The 26-year-old outfielder brings strong on-base skills, speed, and defensive versatility. Over his recent Triple-A career, he has posted a .262/.383/.397 slash line, 18 home runs, 36 stolen bases, and a strong 15.1% walk rate. Franklin describes his game as getting on base, stealing bases, playing good defense, and taking advantage of opportunities to do damage.
Orioles Player Evaluations: JC and Bordick discuss whether it's time for Baltimore to give opportunities to players such as Heston Kjerstad and Enrique Bradfield Jr. They also consider getting Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo into the lineup more regularly and taking a closer look at pitchers Cade Povich and Albert Suárez.
Mike Bordick's Record Falls: The episode closes with the story of Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson breaking Bordick's MLB record for consecutive error-free games at shortstop. Wilson surpassed Bordick's 2002 mark by reaching 111 straight games without an error and eventually extended the streak to 112 before committing an error. JC and Bordick discuss whether Wilson's record should be viewed differently because he had fewer fielding opportunities than Bordick did, and Bordick reflects on how long his own record streak lasted after it was established.
