• Ernie Clement is the Best Team Guy... Road trips, Golfing, Signing Autographs, and more

  On this episode of The 6 Inning Stretch with Lindsay Dunn and Whit Merrifield, the duo dives into some of the hottest topics in baseball. They kick things off with a breakdown of the heated Bryce Harper–Rob Manfred confrontation, before getting into the quirks of handling the lights at Rogers Centre and what it takes to deal with the sweltering mid-summer heat. Whit also shares his perspective on the emotional rollercoaster of navigating the trade deadline as a player. Later in the show, they’re joined by Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement for a wide-ranging chat about life on the road, the art of pitching (even if you’re not a pitcher), wanting to get tossed from a game, and plenty more behind-the-scenes stories you won’t want to miss.#The6InningStretch #WhitMerrifield #LindsayDunn #BryceHarper #RobManfred #BlueJays #MLB #TradeDeadline #RogersCentre #BaseballLife #ErnieClement #TorontoBlueJays #MLBTalk #BaseballPodcastThanks to our Partners!👍🏼Betway - https://betway.ca/ - Only Available In Ontario, must be 19+.
