Guardians vs. the world; Donovan Mitchell’s press conference; Chubb and Hunt better than Byner and Mack?

Highlights:

• Is this one of Terry Francona’s best managerial seasons of his career?
• How Francona makes everyone feel important and how that translates onto the field;
• Terry’s take on the new MLB rules that will institute a pitch clock and outlaw infield shifts in 2023;
• First impressions of Jacoby Brissett in Sunday’s Browns win over the Panthers;
• How the Browns might be able to “weaponize” the kicking game and have opponents suffer “death by field goals.”
• Terry’s impressions from Donovan Mitchell’s introductory Cavs press conference Wednesday;
• Terry on this week’s Faith & You column, which is about people blaming their parents for issues in their lives;
• Your Hey, Terry! questions on why Myles Straw is starting for the Guardians; whether Cleveland baseball fans are appreciative enough of division titles; by the Guardians didn’t bring up catcher Bo Naylor; and why Terry thinks the Nick Chubb / Kareem Hunt 1-2 punch is better than the Earnest Byner / Kevin Mack combination of days past;
• And why as the late, great Les Levine would say, of all the Terry’s Talkin’ podcasts that have been done, this one is the most recent.
