What do Jordan Westburg and Keegan Akin tell us about the Orioles roster construction?

Keegan Akin was terrible once again on Wednesday night, but he is part of a group of players on the roster for which the Baltimore Orioles are valuing potential over production. Host Connor Newcomb talks about why it's finally time for the Orioles to make decisions on Akin, Jorge Mateo, Austin Voth, and others in that category.

But first, Connor recaps the Orioles 11-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings on Wednesday night and gives you the five things you need to know from the game, including another big game for Jordan Westburg, Adam Frazier's huge home run, and a second straight rough start for Kyle Gibson.

Then, Connor gives his thoughts on an awesome Pride Night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
