Baseball the way it's meant to be Loved.
Orwin Smith, good friend and star Georgia Tech alumni, joins RTB for a new “Off the Bag” podcast. We discuss life after ball, the reality of putting your kids in tackle football, and helping fellow collegiate athletes transition into the working world.
All-Star fan voting ends on June 30th, and we weigh in on who our starters would be, versus who leads in the polls.

Issues with the ASG selection process (11:38), the AL starters (17:56), the NL starters (25:32), and round into home with Kershaw’s season for the ages (42:08).
