Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘Siberia’ as in the Mets as in hitting as in terrible as in Soto as in Lindor as in Alonso. What happened to the Mets? It’s been over a month now and they are the worst hitting team in baseball. They have fallen in the standings. And the excuses keep piling up. (12:00) The Boston Red Sox signed Roman Anthony to a longterm deal. Huge pre arbitration deal for him. Boston has now locked up its core all through at least 2030. Major moves! (22:00) Nathan Eovaldi is having a career-year at 35 years old. What a season. (29:12) Review: Up in the Air. (33:00) Shohei Ohtani is the greatest. Just watching him in awe every day. We are so lucky. We also have an update on Roki Sasaki. Do you even remember him? (42:30) We have history in the making. Jen Pawol will become the first female umpire to call a Major League Baseball game! (47:00) NPPOD. (48:30) No more position player pitching. The Rockies catcher gave up 8 runs to the Blue Jays yesterday. Toronto outscored the Rockies 45-6 over 3 games. Cmon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Siberia is associated with a place where people get sent to.

1:01.2

They get banished when bad things happen.

1:08.8

Sometimes managers, players, coaches get let go, but not banished.

1:10.2

They get rehired.

1:14.0

Or they become reassigned within the same organization.

1:21.1

I think what's going on with the New York Mets requires a Siberian solution.

1:30.8

Throughout the course of the last almost two months, we've taken many opportunities to go through the Mets slide and how they went from everything is coming up roses and coca is whistling Dixie
