In honor of Sunday’s premiere episode for the final season of Game of Thrones, this week’s Starting Nine delivers players with GOT-ish names. Jed then takes us Around the Horn with commentary about every team’s start to the 2019 season. The 100th episode show ends just like the previous 99 did with Extra Innings and look outside the world of baseball at Magic Johnson’s surprise retirement from the Lakers, Kim Kardashian revealing she’s studying to become a lawyer and Jennifer Lopez saying Diddy apologized to Alex Rodriguez after a questionable Instagram comment on sultry picture.
