Summary

We open up today’s episode talking about Adam Wainwright’s comments on superstition in baseball. Should we be having more players mic’d up during broadcasts? JRod got the BAG and when it’s all said and done he could have the most lucrative contract in MLB history. Who’s the next young guy on track to get paid like JRod? Zack Hample and Marcus Stroman got into in on Twitter and we’re breaking down the thread tweet by tweet. Josh Hader has had a brutal stretch and we’re trying to figure out why. Is it his release point or constipation? It’s really anyone’s guess. News of a Tony Gonsolin forearm injury breaks while we’re recording and he’s unfortunately heading to the IL. Meanwhile, the Dodgers magic number is 16 and we’re still in August. Jared is making a case for Nolan Arenado to get MVP votes but Dallas thinks it’s Goldschmidt in a landslide. Chapman is heading to the IL with an infected tattoo which begs the question does Oakland have the worst tattoo parlors in the country? We also get a bonus Dallas Braden ripping off his nipple story.
