The Baseball Bar-B-Cast returns with a new episode after a relatively quiet Thursday in the baseball world. The hosts break down Texas Rangers pitcher Jack Leiter’s disappointing start and debut, as well as highlight Logan Webb’s continued strong performance in the San Francisco Giants rotation.
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman then discuss Detroit Tigers prospect Max Clark’s custom cleats, sharing both positive and negative tweets about them. They also touch on Cleveland Guardians pitcher Triston McKenzie pitching through a torn ligament in his arm and Mike Trout’s return to dominating baseball.
In the later part of the episode, the hosts share their good, bad, and Uggla for the week, including stories about Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez joining a conversation with LeBron James, Colorado Rockies hitting coach Hensley Meulens being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Boston Red Sox’s struggling defense.
To close out the show, Jake & Jordan react in real-time to the New York Mets city connect uniform release, sharing their likes and dislikes. They also mention a few headlines to keep an eye on for the upcoming weekend in baseball. The episode also includes a tribute to John Sterling.
