PawedCast Episode 80: Zach Carroll Interview, Crew Review and Red Bulls Preview

Orlando City is coming off its first loss but Orlando City B is coming off its first win. So sometimes good and evil are in perfect cosmic balance.

In fact, OCB’s win came Tuesday night, which is our usual PawedCast recording night, so we’re a bit late this week. Never fear, though. We’ve got a great guest and a lot to discuss.

Center back Zach Carroll stops by to talk to us about OCB’s first 2017 victory on Tuesday over Toronto FC II. He was involved in the first goal and played well with central defense partner Leo Pereira all night. We appreciate Zach being our guest and his defensive efforts for the young Lions.

First up, we run down what happened in Columbus with our picks for Orlando City’s Man of the Match. Neither of us are feeling too bad about the L, although we’d have rather gotten a result. Also, Justin Meram is good.

Other topics of discussion are the addition of Luis Gil to OCSC, the departure of Sarah Hagen from the Pride, and plenty more. After we talk to Zach, we started giving you our key match-ups and score predictions for Sunday against the New York Red Bulls but some technical gremlins crept into the audio so I give you the Cliffs Notes version.

Here’s how it all went down:

0:11- Orlando City-Columbus Crew review, Man of the Match picks, Luis Gil to Orlando, Sarah Hagen waived, and OCB wins for the first time.

38:55- Zach Carroll jumps on and talks about his experience so far in Orlando, what it’s like to play in a constantly changing lineup, the big win on Tuesday, and much more.

55:42- Key match-ups, predictions, and audio gremlins. Oh my!

Stop by next week as we recap the Red Bulls match and look ahead to the LA Galaxy!
