First and foremost, did you happen to see Juan Soto time travel and hit a bomb against the Yankees? Do yourself a favor and watch here.
After a two-week hiatus, hosts Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple return for Episode 68—the Ross Stripling episode—of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast and Jon, apparently, forgot how to use his microphone. Fortunately, the issue was resolved 10 minutes or so into the show, so you won’t have to listen to the “Hollow Jon” for too long. After discussing why Snapple was removed as the show’s non-sponsor sponsor, this week’s Headlines include the above-mentioned Juan Soto’s ride in the DeLorean to hit his first home run of the season (which was actually his sixth), the Nationals acquiring Kelvin Herrera from the Royals, Bryce Harper shaving his beard (and a “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” diversion), the Angels denying Shohei Ohtani needing TJS (which means he’ll be getting TJS soon), Miguel Cabrera rupturing his bicep tendon and ending his season, Brandon Morrow injuring his back taking his pants off, the Yankees’ minor league affiliate choosing the name Pizza Rats as their team moniker, Anibal Sanchez getting fleeced for $100K while on the mound, MLB suggesting it may regulate shifts (which irks the dickens out of Jed), the Yankees threatening to boycott ESPN due to a schedule dispute, Nike becoming MLB’s uniform supplier in 202o, Joe Torre’s pilgrimage to Albany to secure cash for MLB, MLB attendance declining due to weather and shitty teams, and a woman being arrested for setting fires in Royals outfield at Kauffman Stadium.
This week’s Staring Nine is in honor of Pride Month with nine players with gay-themed film names. You can’t quit this one! Show wraps with fan-favorite Extra Innings and a look outside baseball with a discussion about *yawn* the 2018 World Cup and the catch-all convo of the world being a dumpster fire.
