478. Moises' flexors are fine - Pointless Exercise Podcast

About this episode

The episode discusses the Cubs' challenges, including Justin Steele's rehab and relief pitching issues, while also covering various baseball topics and historical moments.

The Cubs got bad news on Justin Steele's rehab, and their relief pitching is so decimated that they have a Yacksel in the bullpen these days. But there's nothing wrong with the team that a heaping dose of Moises Ballesteros can't fix. Oleg and Praz are here to talk Cubs and MLB managerial changes, and the White Sox's Japanese version of Rob Deer, and other important stuff like Eddie Milner breaking up no hitters, and why Chan Ho Park was left in to give up two grand slams in one inning to Fernando Tatis Sr. 27 years ago. All that, and more.
