Unfortunately the NLCS between the Phillies and the Padres is on as we speak resulting in us talking a little bit about that matchup.

I'm home for winter break and I've been doing a lot of work prepping for the new season of this show and my internet went out as this was being recorded. It's almost a month late as a result and I apologize. This was created when Carlos Correa had signed to the Giants and the Physical hadn't been rejected yet.

Opposite Field Outlook Season 1 Episode 18
Sorry for the late upload. Angels owner has committed to selling the team, which throws up many questions from Arte Moreno's latest move. The Schedule debate is up and roaring as the new MLB Schedule is released where interleague play is much more common, with every team playing each other team every single season. Is this a good or a bad change? A pitcher got hit in the head with a comebacker: and that begs the question: should players have to wear more protective equipment? I would bet the owners would certainly like that. Thanks for listening!
