The descent of summer is here as we’re officially ten days away from autumn, but the ascent of another podcast is set to take place with all that’s transpired in sports. On deck:
(6:42) There’s a team in the American League that has shocked a lot of people (including yours truly) of late. Who would’ve thought that the Detroit Tigers would flirt with the final Wild Card spot as early as two weeks ago? I’ll talk about their charge to where they’re three games back of the Minnesota Twins for that last seed to qualify for the postseason. As for the other team that’s trying to secure a playoff berth in the NL, the Mets won an enormous game vs. Toronto yesterday afternoon to put themselves up by one game over Atlanta heading into the final couple of weeks of the season. Will they hang on and clinch? Also, I’ll discuss the return of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
Shohei Ohtani on the cusp of a 50 HR/50 steals season. Some controversy in the Bronx as Yankees prized prospect Jason Dominguez is back in the majors. What about Alex Verdugo? Plus, the health of Hall of Famer Wade Boggs.
(43:10) The PAC-12 in college football is getting a face lift? Four teams may get approval today to move from the Mountain West (Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State & San Diego State) joining Oregon State and Washington State. Is this a good move? Week 3 in the sport is not eye popping, but there are a few intriguing games with some ranked teams going on the road (Oregon-Oregon St., Utah-Utah St., Alabama-Wisconsin) to name a few.
(49:33) More off field incidents continue to pile up in the NFL. You had Tyreek Hill’s confrontation with the police, which is more about law enforcement, than the Dolphins wideout. Then you have Browns QB, Deshaun Watson with another sexual assault accusation, although stated that he did no wrongdoing, but hangs over him and the team after a dreadful opening game vs. Dallas. I’ll preview the upcoming schedule, which kicks off with a good one in Miami tonight as Buffalo invades South Florida to play their division foe.
(1:00:23) Lastly, there’s a super middleweight title defense (the eighth one) for Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night. He’s facing a kid from Brooklyn (Edgar Berlanga with knockout potential) Will he be any competition against the legendary boxer?
