First and foremost, how about that catch by Andrew Benintendi? Legendary.
It’s time for wall-to-wall (kinda) playoff baseball chatter with Episode 83 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast—the Eric Gagne (with the Red Sox) edition. Jed Rigney is super-pumped because a dream World Series matchup between his beloved Red Sox and favorite side-piece, the Dodgers, is shaping up nicely.
The MLB LCS showdowns dominate this week’s Headlines, with Andrew Benintendi’s game-saving catch to get Craig Kimbrel off the hook, Clayton Kershaw showing he still is Clayton Kershaw, Manny Machado showing he can be a dirty SOB, Wade Miley tossing five whole pitches, Orlando Arcia getting hot, Christian Yelich getting cold, Mookie Betts having fans “interfere” with his mad defensive skills, Chris Sale moving back to game six because he’s too weak to go game five, the Astros “cleared” of cheating (right), Braves manager Brian Snitker inking a two-year extension, Angels requiring managerial candidates to take a two-hour written test (with a No.2 pencil), Seunghwan Oh looking to return to South Korea, the Marlins finally getting rid of the home-run monstrosity in center field, and the leaking of potential new logos for Miami, one of which looks like a fish mating with the letter M.
This week’s Starting Nine honors the hubbub surrounding Disney princesses, with nine players with Disney princess names, before we take a look at what’s next for all the non-playoff teams in Around the Horn.
Show ends with Extra Innings, a look outside the realm of baseball, with Sears filing for bankruptcy; Seattle tech, sports, real estate and philanthropic legend Paul Allen passing; Kendall Jenner avoiding a stalker, and the shocking news that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called it quits.
