First and foremost, who’s watching spring training games?
Episode 57 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast — the Johan Santana or Wesley Snipes episode — kicks off with more love for our unofficial sponsor, Snapple, before jumping into this week’s Headlines and chatter about the MLBPA filing grievances against the Marlins, Pirates, Rays and A’s; Tim Lincecum signing with the Rangers, Logan Morrison with the Twins and Lucas Duda with the Royals; Tim Tebow spraining his ankle on a sprinkler head, Yuli Gurriel missing the start of the season following hand surgery; Noah Snydergaard hitting 100 on the gun 11 times in his spring debut (slow your roll, Noah!); Red Sox filing a petition to change Yawkey Way to Jersey Street; the Nationals using camels in jest to help the team get over the playoff hump (wow, they are so clever!); Miami-Dade saying no to removing the hideous center field sculpture at Marlins Park; and the Phillies being shifty and silly.
This week’s Starting Nine honors the Academy Awards with nine players with Best Picture nom-sounding names, and we take a look at Fantasy Sleepers in Around the Horn. Extra Innings takes a peek at Pizza Hut replacing Papa Johns as the official pizza of the NFL; Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller getting caught on a wiretap; and Walmart joining Dick’s on tighter gun control limits.
