About this episode

AJ Hinch calls out his own pitcher after a heated game, while discussions on the Orioles' struggles and the Dodgers' situation with Shohei Ohtani unfold.

Today’s word of the day is ‘intentional’ as in the Detroit Tigers as in Framber Valdez as in AJ Hinch as in the Red Sox as in Trevor Story. Valdez got smoked. He got mad. He hit Story. The benched cleared. After the game AJ Hinch did not back his pitcher. Uh oh. (11:45) Is Sandy Alcantara now untradable? He has been so bad! (15:30) The Orioles can’t pitch. The Orioles can’t hit. The Orioles need to fix this. (22:30) Can the Dodgers afford to not let Shohei Ohtani hit? He’s pitching like an ace, but the team cannot hit. Why is this happening? (31:00) Review: Jerry West - The Logo. (34:30) The NBA playoffs are going strong! The Pistons shut down the Cavaliers. The Thunder smoked the Lakers without Luka still. (39:30) The Houston Astros are dealing with so many injuries. It’s crazy. Carlos Correa just went down in batting practice. (46:40) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices.
