World Baseball Classic: USA bats wake up, but Scherzer explains why there's no Cy Young stars; Bauer goes to Japan; Morant goes to get help (Episode 772)
Today’s word of the day is ‘rolling the dice’ as in taking a chance as in gambling as in Max Scherzer spoke about the World Baseball Classic and why he’s not participating. A mid-season tournament, maybe? But, he spoke on getting ready for the season and not being there yet. Is it wrong to prioritize the MLB season over the WBC? Brandon Nimmo felt similar to Scherzer. Team USA has the bats, but none of the 15 Americans to receiver Cy Young votes are on the squad. And what about the pitching limits for the USA pitchers… not great! (15:50) Did you see the signing of Duque Hebbert? Do you know who we’re talking about? No? (26:55) Review: The Last of Us. (30:25) The Mets join the Yankees in welcoming a new addition to the IL. Jose Quintana is now hurt. It is hard to win. Even if you have the money. (35:30) Trevor Bauer is off to Japan. Okay. (41:50) NPPOD. (43:00) Ja Morant is getting help. It was reported that Morant will be in Florida joining a counseling program. His timetable to return as yet to be determined.
