Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘wheel’ as in the Dodgers as in the Phillies as in Mookie Betts as in Freddie Freeman as in Nick Castellanos. What am I talking about? Well, the biggest play in the Dodgers win yesterday when the Dodgers ran a wheel play where Muncy threw to Betts at 3rd to get the runner out on a bunt. Unreal! (18:00) The Brewers took a 2-0 series lead against the Cubs. Crazy! The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first and the Brewers matched it in the bottom of the first! Vaughn 3-run shot. A Jackson Chourio 3-run shot. And the Cubs are on the brink. (25:00) Let’s preview the ALDS today. We have the Tigers/Mariners Game 3 today. Series is tied 1-1. The Yankees and Blue Jays will play tonight too. The Yankees could be eliminated. And then. (36:00) Review: Caught Stealing. (39:00) It is not going great at North Carolina for Bill Belichick. It’s a mess! (48:30) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
