First and foremost, how about that James Paxton, eh? Dominate no-no from the Big Maple.
And James Paxton couldn’t have better timing—Episode 65 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast is, indeed, the James Paxton edition. In addition to Paxton’s dominant outing against the Blue Jays, other Headlines include Albert Pujols joining the 3,000-hit club, Ichiro moving into the front office (kinda), the Braves taking over first in the NL East, the Red Sox and Yankees playing October baseball in May, Dylan Bundy becoming the first player in MLB history to give up four homers before recording an out, Corey Seager’s TJS and the Dodgers’ continued demise, Dodgers’ combined no-no in Mexico, Roberto Osuna’s arrest, Matt Harvey’s DFA and subsequent trade to purgatory (Cincinnati), Craig Kimbrel becoming the fastest to reach 300 saves, and Patrick Conlon becoming the first Irish native to play in MLB since 1945.
This week’s Starting Nine is in honor of host Jed Rigney’s recent visit to Disneyland: Nine players with Disney names. Jed and co-host Jon Sumple next provide power rankings by each division before diving into this week’s edition of Extra Innings, a look outside the world of baseball. Topics include the NBA playoffs, ESPN Plus striking a $750 million deal with UFC for 15 fight cards per yer, Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby getting bounced from The Academy, and Taylor Swift announcing the end of her long-running feud with Katy Perry … maybe.
