Summary

Hello! It's the podcast that's equal parts Kyson and Reese Witherspoon. Today, on the day of the MLB Trade Deadline, two-time World Series Champion Hunter Pence joins Katie to talk about the latest deals, which teams got better, and which teams now have to sell their fans on 18-year-old shortstops, the Red Sox and how they've actually gotten better since the Rafael Devers trade, how Isabella should throw her first pitch and the difference between a slider, a slutter, and a slambio grip, what's gone wrong with the San Francisco Giants, a look back at Katie's career as a baseball broadcaster with Apple TV, the two times Hunter was traded at the trade deadline and the question of "what do you do with your stuff?", Bryce Harper confronting the commissioner over the talk of a salary cap and the one time Hunter had to break up a fistfight between a player and a GM, his favorite baseball memory, why the game is just so magical, why some grown men just can't use toaster ovens, and his favorite and least favorite ballparks in the majors.

Taking it away before the game continued, ultimately the Valkyries beat the dream. Some are saying it's because of this. Not everybody, though. The WMBA and sports announcers did not say whether the culprit who threw the object under the court was caught or what kind of consequences they might face.

1:06.0	Oh.
1:07.0	Oh, yeah.
1:09.0	You know.
1:10.0	It's actually of all the things you could sneak in in that little pouch.
1:13.8	It's probably the least weird.
