Summary

The Braves SWEPT the Mets in what was probably the biggest regular season series in the 2022 MLB season. Joey thinks this should be categorized as a Mets collapse and he has the stats to back to up. The Mariners clinched the playoffs and Dallas had a front row seat to watch from the broadcast booth. The Phillies took three out of four from the Nats and have a much more comfortable two-game lead over the Brewers for the final NL Wild Card spot. Ohtani signed a one-year $30 million deal with the Angels which leads to a discussion on what Shohei’s goals and values are. Roger Maris Jr is still sticking his nose in the home run discussion on Twitter and Jared still fucking hates him. We almost talk about the Nolan Ryan doc but Dallas doesn’t want to spoil it so we’re going to ruin it next episode instead. Jared realizes Glasnow is pitching at Fenway tonight so he needs to make an emergency trip to Target to get lube. Enjoy!
