Later, they discuss the Chicago Cubs clinching the playoffs. The Cubs have locked up a Wild Card spot and Jake and Dani take a look at their season to see how they got to this point. Do they have enough to make a deep postseason run? The two breakdown what has been going well and what is lacking in Chicago. They also discuss who are some key players that have gotten them to this point and will be needed for any success in the playoffs. Plus, Jake and Dani go around the league and chat about the Guardians making the AL Wild Card race interesting, Shohei Ohtani potentially playing the outfield and Justin Verlander announcing he will be back next year.
Finally, it’s everyone’s favorite segment of the week. The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. The Mariners challenge a shift play and win, Vanderbilt is making their baseball team wear uniforms without logos and Trea Turner’s practice is interrupted by a Lumineers concert. These are just a few of the highlights from this week’s segment. Plus, a weekend preview.
All of this and more to get you ready for the second to last weekend of the regular season on Baseball Bar-B-Cast.
