How did Colorado pay for Deion? (23:20) Review: Past Lives. (27:40) We have another Oakland update. It never stops. This time Oakland mayor Sheng Thao has taken the gloves off against Athletics owner John Fisher. (36:35) NPPOD. (39:40) The pitch clock is here to stay in the postseason. Players didn’t want it. But MLB does. (45:40) The Baltimore Orioles made a late waiver claim from the Marlins for a player who was good for them in the past. He cannot pitch in the postseason… so why do it?
