Episode Notes
Three major news pieces occurred this week – Vin Scully, Deshaun Watson, and the MLB Trade Deadline.
- Rest in Peace Vin Scully, Hall of Fame broadcaster announcer who put smiles on the faces of millions of fans. In his almost 70 year career, Scully called 3 perfect games, 20 no-hitters, and multiple historic events like Hank Aaron's 715th home run. Vin was the best and will never be forgotten.
- Deshaun Watson, facing approximately 30 accusations of sexual allegations, received a 6-game suspension for the upcoming NFL season. This deeply troubling decision makes us question what the NFL is really focused on, especially when compared to other NFL suspensions.
- The MLB trade deadline just passed, and the Phillies made a handful of moves. Will outfielder Brandon Marsh, who statistically struggles in center field, propel the offense? Will Noah Syndergaard (aka "Thor") elevate to greatness once again, and will David Robertson show Philadelphia what he's capable of this time around? Time will tell as the Phillies keep fighting for the playoffs.
- The Padres made huge moves by acquiring superstar Juan Soto and other key players. Will the combination of Tatis Jr, Machado, and Soto prove to be one of the deadliest offenses in baseball?
