Episode 454: Baseball will humble you more than any other game.

A humbling happened in Boston as the A’s took two out of three against the hottest team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox. Dallas comes out hot talking about the series victory, as well as Jeff McNeil’s 1,000th hit and Jacob Wilson’s errorless streak. Dallas also chats a bit about catching up with his former teammates in Boston before the guys get into their weekend series recaps from across the league.

Two-time World Series Champion and San Francisco Giants legend Hunter Pence joins the program in the midst of the recaps, and the guys roll right into talking with him about the Giants’ season, how general manager Buster Posey is handling the switch from player to the front office, and Pence’s transition from Texas boy to California cool.

The guys discuss all the drama from this past weekend that occurred on the mound, including Zack Wheeler being off the mound and Chris Sale’s balk. Jared brings up the NL Cy Young Award and the runaway odds of Jacob Misiorowski winning it. Tyler’s excitement for the potential of the fastest pitch ever being thrown by the Miz shows, and Jay Hay wraps us up with some award-winning nugs to send us into another week of baseball.
