After taking two of three from the Cardinals in St. Louis, it’s imperative that the Baltimore Orioles keep their momentum into sleepy Sacramento to take on the woeful Athletics before a trip into Denver to face the similarly awful Colorado Rockies. Luke Jones tells Nestor that this is the week for the Birds to get back into this Wild Card race as a leader instead of a chaser.

The discussion focused on whether the Orioles can turn a series win in St. Louis into a meaningful playoff push during the upcoming road trip.

Series Takeaways

• Luke and Nestor agreed that taking 2 of 3 from St. Louis was positive, but missing a sweep kept Baltimore under .500 and limited wild-card progress.
• They highlighted improved offense, especially Pete Alonso, Encarnacion-Strand, and Kobe Mayo against left-handed pitching.
• Wednesday’s win after blowing a 7-0 lead was viewed as encouraging because the bullpen stabilized the game and preserved the chance to win late.

Road Trip Stakes

• The next six games in Sacramento and Colorado were framed as the club’s best chance to go 5-1 or 6-0, get back to .500, and build momentum before Boston and Cleveland arrive.
• Rotation consistency remains a concern; Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish were criticized for uneven outings, while the bullpen has recently exceeded expectations.
• Open questions: Can Baltimore finally put together the winning streak it has mostly lacked this season? Will the starters and offense capitalize against two of the league’s weakest teams?

• Plan and broadcast increased rock-and-roll themed content across WNST programming this week in conjunction with the 28th anniversary celebration. (@Nestor Aparicio)
• Conduct fresh interview conversations with Kilmore and Rick Emmett of Triumph for WNST, supporting their November CFG Bank Arena return and related coverage. (@Nestor Aparicio)

St. Louis Series Review

• The Orioles won the series against the Cardinals but lost a chance to sweep.
• The result was considered good but not enough given the late-season standings pressure.
• The Thursday loss flattened momentum after a strong first two games.

Offensive Trends

• The lineup showed signs of life, including a high-scoring game and key extra-base hits.
• Pete Alonso was described as having a standout August.
• Encarnacion-Strand and Kobe Mayo were noted as dangerous bats, especially Mayo against lefties.

Pitching Assessment

• The bullpen earned praise for holding Wednesday’s game together after Kyle Bradish faltered.
• Trevor Rogers was criticized for falling behind early on Thursday.
• The rotation overall has been a major reason the team remains in the race, but it needs to tighten up.

Sacramento and Colorado Outlook

• The next six road games were framed as a major opportunity because both opponents were described as among the league’s worst teams.
• A 5-1 or 6-0 stretch was presented as the kind of run needed to reach .500 and strengthen the wild-card case.
• Anything like a 3-3 trip would keep the team alive but leave little room for error entering tougher September matchups.

Playoff Race Context

• The wild-card race was described as weak and unstable, which keeps Baltimore in contention.
• Cleveland’s recent improvement was noted as a reason the Orioles cannot waste this softer part of the schedule.
• The upcoming home stretch against Boston and Cleveland was framed as the biggest homestand of the year to date.

Welcome home. We are WNST AM 1570 Towson Baltimore. We call this thing Baltimore positive. It is a big weekend around here. We’ll be up late watching Ohio baseball as well as in Sacramento of all places, as well as fake football coming to its conclusion this weekend. If you’re on the WNSD Tech Service, you’ll get all that. Brought to you by our friends at Cole Roofing and Gordian Energy. It’s been a little while since had Bill Cole on. About two weeks, we had him at a Fishmonger’s Daughter. We did a big, big show this week at Koco’s Pub. We had the 28th anniversary kickoff with a Best of Baltimore Award. We had a little bit of fun with Ron Cassie and Max Weiss, Rasig stopped by, Dave Shinen stopped by. We talked some baseball with him, and now we’re going to talk some baseball with Luke Jones on the back end of coulda, shoulda, woulda, mighta. Gave up a lot of runs. Could have been a sweep in St. Louis, but two out of three ain’t bad. Sang Meatloaf one time. He’s in my 28 music countdown, but I mean they’re picking up pace, I guess, and they’re hitting the ball a little bit. And you’re looking at me like I got three heads. And what are you doing? No,

Luke Jones 1:10
no. I mean, I think you just you kind of encapsulated it. It’s a series win. You’re happy with that, but it’s not June anymore, right? You’re at a point now where we’re literally a month away now from the end of the regular season, and we’ve talked a lot about the last few days of the Cleveland Guardians coming alive, and and whether that’s going to mean they’re the third wild card or maybe they overtake the White Sox, and we’re talking about the White Sox. Whatever the case, you’ve got to win, and I think for me, you look at this and and see that they’ve won three of their last four series. I mean, that that sounds good. That that is good, but in each of those three series wins, two against Tampa and now this one against St. Louis, they won in the the the first two or three games of that series. Talking about that four game sat down at the drop, and they had a chance to sweep, and they didn’t get it done any of those times. And that’s where you look at this thing and say, “Man, at some point in time, you’ve got to take off here and really have not just a you’re playing pretty well, you know, win six out of 10, five and five, right? I mean, which is you know the five and five territory has been where they’ve been most of the season, right? I mean, they’ve they’ve hovered a few games under 500 and as low as nine games under. But for me, I’m really going to look at the rest of this road trip now. You go to Sacramento, you go to Colorado. These are arguably the two worst teams in baseball, and by record, two of the three, as you and I are speaking in real time. And if you look in terms of run differential, I think it’s pretty clear cut who the who the worst two teams in baseball are. This is where I look at this thing and say, okay, you know, you you drop the finale in St. Louis on Thursday. You’re back to four games under 500. You’re three games out in the wild card. At some point in time, do you have a a six a six game winning streak in you again? Can you rip off a five and one finish to this road trip and come home at 500 for the first time since april 30? Is that in there? Because if it doesn’t come over these next six games, if you don’t have you know if if you stub your toe and you go three and three here. No, it’s not going to be over when you come home, but it’s not getting any easier than what you’re going to have over the next six days. So that’s where I look at this and kind of lay down the challenge and the gauntlet of, hey, can can you can you get yourself back to 500 or can you can you go five and one and you know be at 500? Can you go six and zero? I mean, like, I’m I’m not saying you expect that, right? It’s it’s hard to ever expect a team to sweep back to back series, but play

Nestor Aparicio 3:49
in October. That’s what you have to do here. You’re going to have

Luke Jones 3:51
to do something, right? I mean, show somebody. You’re going to have to you’re going to have to put some three and zeros and two and ones together here. Yeah, thinking that one of these other teams is going to do that, and no, you’ve been skeptical about that all along too, right? Right, and and to go back to the point I made about winning three of the last four series, and that sounds great until you realize, well, the the sweep at the hand of the hands of the Yankees was in the midst of that stretch, right? So right, exactly. So that’s where you’re just looking at this thing and saying, man, you’ve got to start gaining some footing. You got to gain some ground here. You need to get yourself back to 500, right? I mean, not saying you have to win 87 games, right? I don’t think that’s happening. I don’t think anyone that I don’t think the third wild card is going to be in that kind of territory. But you can’t just keep looking at this thing and saying, okay, well, you win a couple more and you get back to two under, and then you drop another one, and then you’re back to three, and you know what I mean. Like that’s that’s kind of the space that they’ve been living in for quite a long time now. They’ve kind of been between six and two games under 500, and that that that range is not going to get it done, right? If they’re still in that range the last week of September. They might not be mathematically eliminated going into that final week, but then you’re looking at it and saying, “Man, you got to win out, or you’re going to need a whole lot of help. So, so that’s that’s where the disappointment kind of comes. I mean, this this was a strange series. I mean, the Orioles obviously go nuts on Tuesday. They have the seven nothing lead on Wednesday night, and then Bradish just completely falls apart. Credit the bullpen for doing what they did and allowed Encarnacion Strand to be the hero again. And then on Thursday they fall behind five nothing, and you know they’re down six one. And Mayo hits the the three run homer. They get to a one run game, and and then Nunez gives up a run in the last you know, the bottom Cardinals last at bat in the bottom of the eighth, so they showed some fight, but they lost, right? I mean, so again, it’s just one of those series where it looks really, really good until it doesn’t at the end, and then it just feels a little flat, right? I mean, even Brian Roberts was saying that in the post game on Masson Thursday afternoon, where you just look at it and you say it’s good, but it’s like I said a little bit earlier. It’s not June anymore. Like you’re running out of days on the calendar where you look at this thing and say, you know, slow and steady wins the race. That’s not really the case anymore. You don’t have to go nuts over the final three or four weeks, but at some point in time, you’re going to have to do something that kind of feels outside of the wheelhouse of what they’ve done this year, right? And I know they had the seven-game winning streak around the All-Star break, but other than that, I mean, we haven’t seen this team even rip off four or five wins in a row, right? So again, that’s where I look at this these next six games. I mean, the A’s have been bad, the Rockies have been bad for a couple years now. The the A’s have been awful for two months now, just awful. I mean, injuries have completely crushed them. So, can you can you pull off a five and one here? If you do, then boy, there’s a lot of excitement coming home then and and facing the Red Sox, and you’re at 500 for the first time since April 30.

Luke Jones 6:59
But I understand it’s easier said than done, and this is the kind of team that, for as much as you have those series against the Rays, or you do what they did against the Dodgers back in June, they turn around and they let down, and then they lose a series to its team they they frankly shouldn’t lose to, and and that’s where I kind of look at this thing and say, is that what we’re going to see over the next couple, you know, these next several nights, where let’s face it, it’s probably going to be a pretty sleepy atmosphere overall in either one of those cities.

Nestor Aparicio 7:29
Luke Jones is here on the back end of St. Louis. Let’s talk about hitting the ball. I know we talked a little bit about Alonzo Mayo with a big home run that sort of got him back in it on Thursday afternoon in St. Louis, and talk about sleepy. St. Louis was sleepy, and I know Barry talked transition and wherever we are, and that’s a baseball town. They didn’t have a football team there. I think they still have a hockey team, but who knows? You know, for me, that was that that unto itself was seeing St. Louis kind of coming apart a little unglued before a work stoppage worries me a little bit. The part where they hit the ball-I mean, Nunez-there were some bright spots. Rodgers falling behind early, not so much. You know, they had graphics up about how they played three or four games in a row where they didn’t make an error, right? So there’s there. I was going to begin this by saying progress. You know, not that I’m, and it only has to be incremental progress, and they get to two or three games over 500 to win a wild card. At this point, they need to have a good month. And to your point, they haven’t had many good months in the last two or three years. But if there’s a time to have one, Sacramento’s a time to have one, and dude, for as much as you’ve crushed them about not hitting the ball, at least a couple of these guys are hitting the ball a little bit, a little bit, right?

Luke Jones 8:49
Yeah, well, I mean, we’ve talked about Pete Alonso. I mean, I’ll be shocked if he’s not AL Player of the Month for August. I mean, even though he struck out four times on Thursday afternoon, we’ve seen what he’s done. I mean, there was, I think it was maybe a quarter of the way through the game on Wednesday night that he he was batting 400 for the month. I mean that’s what he’s done. So yeah, I mean I I think for me I mean obviously you’re talking about the bats and yeah when you have a a 13 spot on a Tuesday night game, and then you had the big lead on Wednesday night. But I think for me, what I was most impressed with, what I was most encouraged by, was that they won Wednesday night’s game. Right, you’re up seven nothing, you blow that, your bats have gone to sleep again. Like you know, they they had a chance to to add on and make that a really ugly game, even after they had the seven nothing lead, and they didn’t do that. They allowed the Cardinals get back in the game. Bradish was not very good. You know, we can get the Bradish and Rodgers here in a moment, but the the fact that the bullpen settled in kept the game tied when that happened. And then they get the big hit from Encarnacion Strand in the ninth inning. I mean, that was encouraging to me. That was something that felt because even in the middle of that game, when when St. Louis mounts to come back, we saw a couple defensive hiccups. Even and you’re saying, “Oh my goodness, here we go! And instead, what Hoppy, Josh Walker, Rico Garcia, Wolfram, and then Kittridge gets the the save. I mean, the bullpen did a nice job. We’ve talked about that a lot. I mean, you heard me talk about the bullpen constantly back in the in the spring, where I was just not very confident in that group. And perception-wise, I mean, you know, is Ryan Helsley going to come back in September? I don’t know. I’ll believe it when I see it. Felix Batista’s begun a rehab assignment, but what what’s Felix going to look like? You know, you can’t put pressure on him. If he gives you anything in September, great. They traded Tyler Wells, right? So the perception continues to be, oh well, this bullpen’s going to fall apart. And they’ve had, you know, they had they had some moments in that Yankee series where it wasn’t didn’t look so good, right? I mean, I’m not saying it’s perfect, but overall, that group’s done a a pretty nice job, and and even just some guys that have arrived up, you know, former waiver claims or trades for cash or whatever it might be. So, is that going to hold up in September? We’ll see. Right, I mean, we’ve seen plenty of guys that look great for three weeks, or for six weeks, or for a couple months, and then they turn back into a pumpkin. But I think for me, again, Wednesday being what that was, where radish, you know, and and let’s let’s call a spade a spade, Albernaz left them in too long. I mean that I think, you know, you you can kind of look at it and say, well, you know, you’re trying to let them get out of it. You’re trying to let them get the win. You’re trying to let them get through five. But they had arrested bullpen. I mean, there’s no reason to to let him, you know, left him leave him out there. And he wasn’t overly sharp even early in that game, but the bullpen held, and they regrouped and won that game. So for me, that was exciting. That’s why I was just disappointed for them to fall behind the way they did on Thursday, right? I mean, Trevor Rogers gives up a three-run home run. Ramona Rios, who’s barely played this year, hits a home run. You know, it was it was a two-strike pitch that wasn’t a great pitch. So that was disappointing,

Nestor Aparicio 12:18
though. You know, I mean, yeah, I mean they and they and they did

Luke Jones 12:21
and they did right. So that so that’s where yeah, it’s disappointing because it felt like there was a very real chance to get a sweep there. I mean, this was a St. Louis team that we talked about it. I mean, they had the meltdown in Philadelphia on Sunday. You absolutely clobber them on Tuesday. You were still able to get off the mat after they punched back at you on Wednesday night, and you get the win. You know there was a scenario. I’ll be totally honest with you. I thought they were going to get the sweep on Thursday. I thought that was going to be a Cardinals team that would kind of go through the motions after, you know, kind of their comeback attempt was put down the previous night, and instead they were the ones who jumped out early. So it was nice to see. I mean, I still don’t know why Ali Marmo insisted on pitching lefties against Kobe Mayo. I mean, in this current Orioles lineup right now, if in in no particular order, what I don’t want to face is Pete Alonso and Carnacio Strand, who deserves a lot of credit for the way he’s swing swinging the bat all of a sudden again, and Kobe Mayo against any lefty. I mean, it’s just it really is that simple. I’ll take my chances with Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holiday, anyone else in this lineup before those specific three that I’m talking about in the here and now. And I mean, Mayo’s been unbelievable against lefties. I mean, it it’s almost to the point where you expect him to do damage if if he’s facing a lefty, I mean it really is that simple. So I found that interesting. Like I said, you know some interesting, peculiar managerial decisions from both sides over the course of this series. But but it was just you know again it was an opportunity. It felt like a chance to step on their necks. You get to two under, and then you’re going to Sacramento, and you’re saying, “Wow, you could you could sweep the A’s, and you’re above 500. Instead,

Luke Jones 14:04
instead, you’re back to you know you’re back to four. It’s not insurmountable, but at some point in time, you’re going to have to have a really really impressive week. And if it’s not going to come this coming week against these two terrible teams, it’s way more difficult to envision that in the month of September. Yeah, if you haven’t had

Nestor Aparicio 14:24
any fun with Oriole baseball this this year, stay up late this week and next week, and just think like, if these are playoff games and you win five or six of these or six of six of these, you put yourself in a pennant race as the worm turns and you get back home, and I mean the schedule picks up right. Like the Boston’s, the Cleveland’s-they end the season at Yankee Stadium, you know. So there’s a whole walkie in there. Yeah, there there are they they they play the Mets in New York too. So they have, I mean, that should feel like a couple of wins going up there. The middle of September, right? So, I’m looking at it and saying, “Where are the weak links here? And they played well against Tampa. They didn’t play well against New York. Sure, but in a general sense, I want to go back to the beginning of the conversation. I want to be sunshine and butterflies here, and the antithesis of Nasty Nestor to say some of it looks like progress. Some of it, the hitting looks like progress. The pitching looks like, you know, as we expect. I don’t expect Rogers or any of these guys to go out and throw darts every night, but it would be nice to have them go two or three times through a turn here over the next couple of weeks and have their best stuff. And I know we’ve all questioned fatigue and all elements of that. I mean, even Gunnar Henderson. I saw. I think Joe Enoch put something up about him and Ryan Mountcastle’s numbers next to each other, and it was kind of a weird sort of stat. But you know, lights are on. Nobody’s at home. It’s Sacramento. It’s Denver. Come back here and and take that little period where the Ravens don’t play until the 20th of the month at home, and fill in the gap here, man. You know it’s a pennant race. Let’s let’s have one. Let’s have one. Sure.

8

Luke Jones 16:13
I mean it’s like I said to you. I mean we can keep harping on the record or the records of of any of these wild card contenders and keep saying, well it shouldn’t be that way. Well, it is, right? They’re not going to just take away the third wild card. So you’ve got a chance, but it’s why I said these next six games for me are so critical because the mo of this team over the course of this season tells me a three and three is coming, which again would not be a disaster. Like it wouldn’t end the season, but again, you’re starting. You’re getting into that territory now where you’re not. You can’t talk about this like you did back in June, right? You don’t have three months of season left. You’ve got four weeks of season left at this point in time. So that’s where you look at this thing and say you just need to start banking wins. And when you have a chance to step on an opponent’s neck, you got to do it right. But that said, you can’t just go out to Sacramento and go through the motions and and think that you’re just going to roll the ball out. Same thing in Colorado, right? I mean, I I mentioned to you what was it about 10 days ago, the Rangers, when they were starting to really play well, then they had a road trip where they played what the Angels and I’m trying. It might have been Sacramento, you know, the the A’s, and I think they they went two and five, right? So it speaks to, you know, there’s nothing assured here. And oh yeah, Bradish

Nestor Aparicio 17:36
got all the money, Boz got all the money, Bassett got all the money, all the B’s and the A’s this weekend. This is a nice weekend for these guys to go seven innings and stick the bats up their backside and look like they’re pitching against Triple A players because they kind of are. Yeah,

Luke Jones 17:52
I mean that. I I want to see the rotation tighten up a little bit more again. I mean it was so good for so long, right? Arguably, the

Nestor Aparicio 18:00
assignment needs to be good. It has to be good now.

Luke Jones 18:02
Arguably, the biggest reason why this team is even in this position is how well their rotation pitch from late May into August. Right? It hasn’t been quite as crisp collectively of late. Not not that it’s been awful. You know, Rogers was not good on on Thursday. Bradish was not good on Wednesday, obviously, but you know they have Bassett back. He’s going to pitch the finale against the A’s. Brandon Young, he he’s the guy that I I keep kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Although I’ve been saying that since May, I think a lot of people were saying that. You look at his career innings. You know, he’s at career high for innings, all of that. Yet, you know, he’s had a couple starts where it doesn’t look quite as good. But typically, he rebounds and then he looks really good again, right? I mean, no one’s going to be perfect, so you’re looking for that. And then Boz is pitching late Saturday night. I mean, a late 10:05 start. Yeah, can this offense score some runs for him? I, I, I thought all all week in St. Louis, so over the course of that three game set, he had to be looking at that, just thinking to himself, like, the heck, why can’t I get run support like this? Because he certainly has pitched well enough to have a way, way, way better record than four and 14. There’s no doubt. So, so I mean, it’s again, I’m not saying you have to go six and zero. I’m not saying you have to go five and one. I’m just looking at this in terms of this is an opportunity to do that, and you can come home and you don’t have guys like me banging on you from a standpoint of you’ve been under 500 since April 30, or you haven’t been over 500 since april 15. We’re up on september

Nestor Aparicio 19:42

1. I mean, if we begin next month with it’s a clean slate at that point, right?

Luke Jones 19:46
Then, then it, yeah. And then you’re wondering, okay, what? Where is Cleveland in this? Where’s Toronto in this? You know, where’s Texas and Houston in terms of the AL West? I mean, Seattle’s kind of sort of hanging around. Detroit is falling off completely, right? So Minnesota, at times they look okay. Other times they look like they can’t beat anybody. Right? It’s like I’ve said all along. This is why I’ve refused to hammer the final nail in the coffin for for this Orioles club. As as much as I don’t believe in them per se, I don’t believe or have any you know fond thoughts about any of these other teams as it pertains to playoff moxie and well, on a night

8

Nestor Aparicio 20:25
by night basis, one of these teams is going to make it. What’s the old line? Why not us, right? Yeah, sure,

Luke Jones 20:31
sure. And but that being said, Cleveland, who, man, I was really close to burying a couple weeks ago because they had been. I mean, I think they want to say they lost like 20 of their first 30 or something along those lines after the All Star break, like really bad. They they’re playing much better now, and what you do have to be mindful of, and this is again why it’s so important, I think, for the Orioles to take advantage of the last two legs of this road trip. Some of these teams go look at their schedules compared to what the Orioles face in September, and that’s where you better make some hay right here. Well, you mentioned

Nestor Aparicio 21:09
Cleveland. I mean, you come within three games of them; they get in here literally on Labor Day. They’re playing here in the afternoon on Monday, which feels like next Monday. Boston’s in here this weekend, right, or next weekend, I should say, the the Cleveland thing, you know, you get your own chance to go mano a mano against all these teams. So to your point, you know, you pick up some ground, you win six in a row, you’re great. If you you dribble down your your your your chin like they did against the Yankees and come home and stink, I mean, they play the Mets, they play the Brewers, they play the Blue Jays a couple of times. So they play the Blue Jays more than they play anybody, quite frankly. So talk about them being in the way. You can exterminate them. You go five and one against them. So or they can do it to you. Yeah, right. I’m not getting out in front of myself, and I don’t believe in them any more than you do. But I do believe that this is an interesting foot race. It’s an it’s what Rob Manford wants from us before they go on strike. An interesting little foot race.

Luke Jones 22:09
Yeah, I mean, and and and again, that’s why I keep looking at these next six games. I mean, this is it’s not an ultimatum as much as it’s a a heck of an opportunity to put yourself on even footing with whether it’s Cleveland or whoever is playing well a week from now, because who knows, right? It’s it’s been that kind of race. But if you don’t, then you’re still in that territory where they kind of find themselves right now. I mean, think about it. They’ve won three of their last four series. They haven’t made up any ground, right? They’re no they’re no closer to 500. They’re they’re actually trailing in the wild card race because Cleveland’s gone on this recent run. So again, the A stink, the Rockies stink. But we’ve said that about other teams that the Orioles have faced at various times. I mean, look for them to make

Nestor Aparicio 22:58
them stink, man. I’ll

Luke Jones 22:59
continue to go back to that Dodger series, and then they immediately lost two out of three to the Angels right after that. Right? I mean, that’s that’s what-not fearful of it, but it’s almost what I expect out of this team. Go prove us wrong. Right? The burden of proof is on the Orioles at this point in time. This has been a sub 500 team since April 30th. Right? So they they anyone that’s trying to you know hey you know you should be more positive about this thing no like it’s it’s on this team to get the fans to believe in them to to leave no doubt that okay we are worthy of this this isn’t strictly because we’re in a lousy American league this year this is a team that’s peaking at the right time. They had a heck of a win on Tuesday night. I give them credit for bouncing back after blowing the big lead on Wednesday night. They didn’t do it on Thursday. It’s not the end of the world, but this is not the time to let your foot off the gas. Again, this is a chance to, you know, rip off five and one, six and zero, something along those lines, where you come home and we’re not talking about oh, your X number of games under 500. Get get yourself back to 500, and then hey, it’s go time with the Red Sox, and then Cleveland coming to town for the biggest home stand of the year to date.

Nestor Aparicio 24:13
He is Luke Jones. He’s Baltimore Luke out on the socials in the interwebs. The Ravens and the Commanders doing final fake football. We’ll have cuts coming your way. We had a great, great Maryland crab cake tour stop. Want a little bit of a respite this week? It is our 28th anniversary. You’re going to hear a lot of music stuff around here this week. I have some fresh conversations coming up with Kilmore and Rick Emmett of Triumph as well, coming back to the CFG Bank Arena in November. But a lot of rock and roll around here as the Orioles go west, the Ravens take a little downtime. They don’t play till the 13th. Feels like a long time from now, and time for Jesse Minter and the Ravens, Lamar, all them to get their act together. In the meantime, the Orioles back home next weekend against the Red Sox, in the midst of all of this staying up late on Masson, and hopefully no. Apple TV. He’s Luke. I’m Nestor. We are WNST AM 1570, Towson, Baltimore. We never stop talking. Baltimore positive.
