The Camden Highball (Episode 9): Greetings From Norfolk!

Posted by Unknown

The Camden Highball is back after taking a brief hiatus last week. On this week's episode, Pat and Nate answer a couple of your questions from Twitter and talk about the (slightly) alarming walk rate of the entire Orioles pitching staff. We also talk to Camden Depot's Joe Reisel about the things he's seen in Norfolk during the first month of the minor league season, and he tells us who he thinks is the most impressive Orioles player he's ever seen play at Harbor Park. His answer may surprise you.

Philip said...: Hey guys, how about a segment on why Lavarnway is playing instead of Clevenger, who does everything better.
Even for a once a week guy, Lavarnway sure seems awful.; May 5, 2015 at 11:28 AM
