First and foremost, how about that Robinson Cano “accidental” positive test for PEDs? Are you buying it?
Speaking of buying it, don’t miss Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple’s discussion about fast food burgers, including Whataburger, In-N-Out Burger, Burger King, Five Guys and Seattle fav Dick’s. The snickers ensue.
As for Episode 66 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast—the Yasiel Puig episode—this week’s Headlines focus on Robinson Cano and his 80-game suspension, the legalization of sports betting, Odubel Herrera’s 45-game on-base streak, the D-backs’ losing streak and acquisition of Clay Buchholz to stop the bleeding (yikes!), the Dodgers coming back to life, Rich Hill taping his fingers, Melky Cabrera resurfacing with the Indians, Rafael Palmeiro hitting a home run the minors at age 53, the Yankees spending the night at Dulles Airport, Jose Bautista bouncing from the Braves to the Mets, Atlantic City looking for a minor league franchise, Carson Smith dislocating his shoulder after throwing his glove in anger and Lenny Dykstra being arrested for threatening an Uber driver and, oh yeah, for having drugs on his person.
This week’s Starting Nine is in honor of Memorial Day and features players with American War sounding names. This may be the strongest lineup yet from top to bottom! Next up is In or Out—which sparked the aforementioned burger discussion. Jed and Jon discuss who is no longer in playoff contention. No surprises here.
Last, but not least, is the fan-favorite segment Extra Innings, which takes a look at what’s going on outside the world of baseball. This week we look at the NFL’s decision to make standing mandatory during the National Anthem, the Vegas Golden Knights’ improbable run to the Stanley Cup finals, Doc Rivers signing an extension with the Clippers (much to the joy of Lakers fans), Kevin Federline’s lawyer requesting a 3x increase in child support from Brittany Spears and, of course, the Royal Wedding and its accompanying circus.
