A Wonderful Week in Baseball

Episode Summary

September has arrived with teams and players vying to break records.

Episode Notes

• The Mets-Dodgers series was intense and was possibly the NLCS preview. As the Dodgers close in on one of the best MLB seasons of all time, how big of a factor will multiple key pitching injuries be?
• Aaron Judge remains on pace for 63 homeruns and is fighting for this record every night! With 31 games remaining, every game is critical for Judge!
• The World Baseball Classic takes place this upcoming March and is this year’s USA team the best ever? Hear our projected deadly lineup without a major player…
• Jacob deGrom continues to shine, but did you know that he throws fastball or slider 90% of the time? We breakdown his adaptations over the years and provide you with some numbers showing how dominant his pitches are. 
• Pitcher Jameson Taillon was recently hit by a 91 MPH linedrive. With virtually no time to react and batters continuing to hit the ball harder, MLB faces a major dilemna over how to protect pitchers.
