Episode 62: Zack Greinke is Boring, but Baseball Isn’t

With Jen away empowering America’s youth, Sarah, Mary, and Cut4’s Jessica Whitney discuss the best and worst Players’ Weekend nicknames, how the loss of Kenley Jansen will impact the Dodgers, and whether we’re nearing the end of Félix Hernández’s career. They also explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of Barry Bonds’s legacy, Joe Simpson’s remarks on Juan Soto, and the 2018 Baltimore Orioles. Closing out the episode is a discussion of MiLB and MLB’s extra innings rules, and, as always, This Week in Baseball History.
