Summary

Phillies manager Rob Thomson hops in the Clown Car with Buster, Eduardo Pérez, David Cone and Karl Ravech to share his thoughts on Cristopher Sanchez’s performance and using Jhoan Duran in the eighth inning. Then, the guys discuss why the MVP of the weekend was Dave Dombrowski, the best team in the National League, the Marlins sweeping the Yankees, and what Eduardo sees in Agustín Ramírez’s swing. Then, Tigers pitcher Charlie Morton sits down with Buster to talk about when he realized he was going to be traded, meeting A.J. Hinch for the first time, getting the ball in Game 7s of the 2017 ALCS and World Series, and figuring out what was wrong earlier this season. Plus, Brewers manager Pat Murphy and Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle assist in Sarah Langs’ Numbers Game.
