Despite the many chances for a four-game sweep (also known as a mop), no team could clean up this weekend. And there were no three-game sweeps either!
In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jordan Shusterman and Jake Mintz discuss all of the weekend’s series and have enough segments to get us through Monday.
Jake and Jordan revisit one of their favorite segments, “Sorry For Your Mentions,” and read some of their favorite reactions to the Cubs’ social media posts. Then they go into their “Nuclear Overreaction” segment and decide how the Pirates can revive their struggling offense. The biggest suggestion: get Paul Skenes in the game.
The guys then laugh at José Iglesias’ post-Mets game musical performance in the “First Time For Everything” segment, and then present their “Player of the Weekend” award to the Giants’ Spencer Bivens, who made his first start, struck out Shohei Ohtani twice and celebrated. Jake then went into turbo mode to get through the rest of the weekend’s games, and finally, they gave an update on the Home Run Derby.
