First and foremost, Jed’s Starting Nine tribute to Bohemian Rhapsody is one for the ages! Not only is there nine players with Queen song names, there’s also player names in the song’s lyrics! Don’t miss it!
Episode 84 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast—the Prince Fielder edition—is a smorgasbord of World Series banter, from Steve Pearce’s MVP performance to David Price delivering to Joe Kelly dominating. Jed’s loyalty to both teams made the series challenging to watch, but he knew he was coming out a winner either way. The unexpected low ratings we’re a winner, but, hey, it wasn’t exactly exciting was it? Jed and Jon also discuss the beer-throwing tradition in Boston, the Yankees surprising one-year deal with Brett Gardner, the status of Clayton Kershaw (before his decision to extend was announced), Manny Machado’s lack-of-hustle and grating attitude and how it will impact his value on the market, J.T. Realmuto’s agent saying (once again) his client won’t be playing in Miami next year, the Mesa Brothers show heading to Miami, the Mets new agent, er, GM, hardware handed out to Christian Yelich, J.D. Martinez, Edwin Diaz and Josh Hader, and new managers for the Blue Jays, Angels and Twins.
Starting Nine, as mentioned above is not to be missed, is followed by Around the Horn and a chat about what this year’s postseason participants have to do to return to the dance next year. Show wraps with Extra Innings and a look outside the world of baseball at Hue Jackson’s firing by the Cleveland Browns, Megyn Kelly’s crash-and-burn at NBC, J-Lo saying its easier to date A-Rod than Ben Affleck, and Justin Bieber shaving off all his hair.
