The MLB Amateur Draft edition of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast is live for your earhole pleasure!
Listen to Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple discuss important topics du jour, such as mermaids, old school politics and how their podcast is the Foulest Territory, before jumping into this week’s Headlines and discussions on the MLB Amateur Draft, two-way players (not that kind), A-Rod’s nephew being selected and what A-Rod might teach him about navigating his way through the minors undetected *wink*, Aaron Judge’s longest home run in the tracking era and his march toward ROY and MVP honors, Max Scherzer being third fastest to 2,000 Ks, Madison Bumgarner’s progress and the value of having him back this year despite the Giants’ lost season, Koda Glover’s back injury and the ever-imploding Nats bullpen, Jameson Taillon’s quick return to the mound post surgery, and a bill introduced that would halt taxpayer-funded stadiums.
This week’s Starting Nine features the most awesomest names from the MLB Amateur Draft — did we hear a “Chumley”? Are You Buying It? inadvertently focuses on the AL East with analysis of the Rays’ Corey Dickerson and Chris Archer, the Yankees’ CC Sabathia and Aaron Hicks, and Baltimore’s JJ Hardy and Kevin Gausman. And, of course, an update on Devon Travis.
Show wraps with listener-favorite (is it?) Extra Innings and a discussion of the Stanley Cup champion Penguins win over the Nashville Predators, the Golden State Warriors’ “gentlemen’s sweep” of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Jed’s disapproval of super teams, Katey Perry live-streaming her life away (Eddie Rabbit, anyone?) and the passing of the OB — original Batman — Adam West. RIP caped crusader.
