Eric Baldwin has had an interesting past couple of hours. During our past dinner break it appears Faraz Jaka and Baldwin had a little competition outside with a soccer shoot out. He recently tweeted this.

We don't know how it turned out for sure, but it appears it may have gone in Faraz's favor.
basebaldy Eric Baldwin Rediscovered why in not @soccerbaldy. Gg @FarazJaka. Guy had more heart than Rudy Rudiger on defense.

Although he might not be crushing it on the pitch he sure is doing well for himself on the felt. We recently caught up to him playing a hand and here is what happened. After the table folded around to him, a player in middle position raised. Action then founds its way to Baldwin in the cutoff and he three-bet to 5,600.
