Episode 37: August trades; Red Sox sign stealing; streaking Indians, D-backs; MVP races; Hurricane Irma
Foul Territory is sending nothing but positive vibes to the Southeastern US as Hurricane Irma approaches.
Episode 37 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast is fresh out of the oven, and hosts Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple are here to dish out some scintillating baseball insights and a whole bunch of random stuff.
In this week’s Headlines, we discuss the August trade deadline moves, the Red Sox getting caught doing something everyone does, Reds picking up manager Bryan Price’s option, the streaking Indians and D-backs, the faltering Dodgers, Matt Harvey turning from the Dark Knight to the Twilight Knight, and Cody Bellinger setting the Dodgers rookie record for home runs.
Seventh Inning Stretch may be put on mothballs or repurposed due to “incongruity concerns,” but Starting Nine is alive and well with a tribute to Labor Day and nine players with “job” sounding names.
Are You Buying It? focuses on the MVP races with Jed and Jon both giving slight edges to Jose Altuve and Paul Goldschmidt with the door still open for Mike Trout and Giancarlo Stanton.
Episode 37 wraps with Extra Innings and the worst-ever baseball podcast discussion about the NFL season kickoff, Hurricane Irma barreling down Florida and Kim Kardashian opting for baby No. 3 via a surrogate mama.
