As a new Major League Baseball season gets underway, Baltimore Orioles play-by-play voice Geoff Arnold is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Arnold, the former director of broadcasting and public relations for the Frederick Keys, chats with host Greg Swatek about whether the O's can take the next step and make the playoffs this season after being the best team in the American League to not make it last year. He shares some impressions from spring training and his thoughts on top pitching prospects Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall not being in the majors to start the season. How long might it be before we see them in the big leagues?

Plus, Arnold shares his thoughts on the pitch clock, which seems to be wildly popular so far and has drastically reduced the lenghth of games in spring training. Has he had to adjust his broadcasting style as a result?

Prior to that, FNP sports writers John Cannon and Alexander Dacy join Greg to share their thoughts on Opening Day and the fortunes of the Nationals and Orioles. Plus, the guys discuss spring sports in Frederick County and some of the best teams that have emerged so far.
