Summary

Anthony Rendon set the baseball world on fire this weekend when he made comments about wanting less games during the MLB season. Jared discusses his viral tweet on the matter, we break down Papelbon’s response, and we get Max’s thoughts on another media shitstorm for the Angels. Josh Hader signed the most lucrative deal for a relief pitcher in baseball history so we call up Tex to get his thoughts on the ridiculously stacked Astros bullpen. We round out the episode with 1972 MVP Hindsight and the Athletics Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for listening and tune in next week for Joey’s Storytime segment!
