Jacob deGromFirst and foremost, how about Jacob deGrom’s magic arm? One day he’s injured, the next day he’s soft-tossing. The Yankees need some of that magic elixir Jacob deGrom is taking.

For Episode 101 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast, we have no associated player because we ran out of numbers with episode 100. So, beginning next week, we’ll have a new naming convention for identifying the podcast. Wow, we take this way too seriously! On to this week’s Headlines. Other than the magical recovery of Jacob deGrom, here’s what’s going on:

    • Aaron Judge is the next Yankees player to hit the IL
    • Matt Shoemaker is out for the season following ACL tear in rundown
    • Albert Pujols jumps Babe Ruth for fifth place with 1,993 RBIs
    • Marlins fire their hitting coach after a miserable start
    • Tim Anderson is banned for what was an alleged epithet, not a bat flip
    • Yasiel Puig wears a custom T-shirt with picture of his own brawl
    • Ozzie Albies signs a cheap, long extension, while Khris Davis signs a two-year extension
    • Shohei Ohtani joins team BP for first time since surgery
    • Fernando Rodney matches Cy Young (say what?)
    • Yankees stop playing Kate Smith’s God Bless America
    • Feds seize hundreds of bogus Bryce Harper jerseys bound for Philly
    • U.S. Customs seizes nearly $12 million in fake championship rings
    • Rare Babe Ruth Yankees Jersey expected to sell for over $4.5 million at auction
    • Ex-MLBer Eric Byrnes breaks the record by playing 420 holes of golf in 24 hours

This week’s Starting Nine gives us players with “To be continued …” film names. Give it a listen, it will make more sense hearing it than reading it! Show wraps with Extra Innings and a look outside the world of baseball at Tiger Woods’ masterful Masters victory, the NBA (Damien Lilliard, anyone?) and NHL playoffs (upsets and Game 7s galore in the first round) and video of Robert Kraft’s junk being held back for the betterment of all humanity.
