On the latest episode of ‘Baseball in the District,’ Tim Murray of ESPN 980 and I looked ahead to this weekend’s Nats-Cubs series with CSN Chicago Insider Patrick Mooney. We also talked to Matt Swope, Director of Baseball Operations for the Maryland Terrapins.
Mooney was great on Kris Bryant and the upstart Chicago Cubs. He also had an interesting perspective on Bryce Harper, having seen him both up close and from afar over the last four seasons.
Swope was excellent on the Terps and their impressive NCAA Tournament run. Maryland topped the No. 1 overall seed UCLA Bruins this week and now have a showdown in the Super Regional round with the University of Virginia.
