Episode 10: Aroldis Chapman, Chris Sale, Rob Kardashian
This is the real Episode 10 of “Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast” since we somehow lost track and skipped a number along the way (Jon’s fault!). Jed and Jon talk a little politics and introduce a new sponsor, before jumping into Headlines: Aroldis Chapman getting traded to the Cubs, Chip Hale on the hotseat (or not), Chris Sale getting all snippy with the White Sox throwback unis, the Hall of Fame inductions of Mike Piazza and Ken Griffey Jr., Johnny Cueto’s displeasure on not being invited to the White House with the Royals, Rick Porcello becoming the first Red Sox pitcher to go 10-0 at Fenway in 55 years, and Twitter’s deal to livestream MLB games. This week’s What the WTF? focuses on too many home runs and why, the Starting Nine gives us players with Democrat-connected names and 3UP/3DOWN gets uppity with Trevor Story, Joey Votto and Kyle Hendricks and downtrodden on Colby Rasmus, Jason Heyward and Tim Lincecum. The podcast ends with the tried and true Extra Innings – our look at what’s going on outside of the world of baseball – with a take on Peyton Manning walking, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s DNC debacle, Iggy Azalea and French Montana (not French Stewart) spotted in Vegas together, and Rob Kardashian deleting Blac Chyna on Instagram (Ooohhh!).
