In Thursday’s show we go 2 for 2: the Game of the Year (?), Hawk’s non-call and then a pitcher’s duel in Detroit with a bizarre double play. We bring you a MLB Draft Primer and do our own Pepper Allowed Current Player Draft. We take you through significant Boo-Boos in N/BB/Ms and talk Rox, Vinny Castilla, Mets and Braves in the 80/20 Performances of the Night.
Make sure you watch the Rule 4 draft on Thursday night. The coverage starts at 6p on MLB Network and YOU can play along with everyone’s favorite game from grandmothers to basement-dwelling SABR nerds…MLB DRAFT BINGO!
In Wednesday’s show we go 4 for 4: we talk Mr. Mayberry, Jason Heyward and Bossman Junior, your Natinals (sic) shot in the arm, some Danny Espinosa talk (for real), Mr. Plantar Fascia and your LA Angels of Anaheim. We refresh your memory with a Biogenesis primer and then talk Growing Pains…because why not? We end with some N/BB/Ms filled with returning players and we talk about a tremendous night at the #umpshow.
In Tuesday’s show we go 2 for 2: break up the Bo Porters, what is Arte thinking right about now and Y-A-S-I-E-L P-U-I-G makes his debut. We talk about our favorite Milton Bradley memories, Kevin Kennedy’s comparisons, Neil Walker’s dad and Derek Jeter and birth control. We tease our draft preview in N/BB/Ms and talk Wily Mo Pena in our 80/20 Performances from the Night.
In Sunday/Monday’s Weekend Wrap, we bring the goods. We talk AL West, bury the Mets, debate Phil Hughes’s future in pinstripes and break down Tim Lincecum’s year. We talk about the infamous Indians-Expos trade and update Grady Sizemore’s progress. We then talk about our favorite Sizemore memory–Roy Hibbert would maybe approve. Also, we play the 2013 Pepper Allowed Spelling Bee where one of us spells Yaisel Puig incorrectly and the other fumbles Shigetoshi Hasegawa. At 54:30 we bring you an interview with MegaBus Matt (@megabusmatt and megabusmatt.com) who is traveling across the country visiting 25 ballparks in 25 days. A well-traveled man, Matt talks about the journey, offers some travel hacks and talks about his time in Japan watching the NPB while in the United States Navy. Matt and Lee talked some Cole Hamels and 2012 A’s before Matt continued on his journey. Our daily recap shows are back on Tuesday morning.
