Kenny and Kris take your calls on the recent Dodgers-Red Sox trade and Mets ownership. They also discuss the Yankees' upcoming schedule and the Joe Saunders trade.
Kenny and Kris discuss the Bartolo Colon supension and take your calls on steroids in baseball. They also calm worried Yankees fans and talk about what types of moves the Mets should make going into next season.
Kenny and Kris recap the Yankees-Red Sox series, preview the upcoming road trip, and debate whether or not the Nationals should enforce an innings limit on Stephen Strasburg.
Standing 1st in the NL East and on their way to a postseason run, the Washington Nationals have decided to rest their 24 year-old ace, Stephen Strasburg. While many criticize the move, the Nats remain committed to preserving Strasburg's arm for the future.
Jake Kring-Schreifels and Alex Smith were joined by Mariners play-by-play man Dave Sims and Nationals play-by-play man and WFUV alum Charlie Slowes. With Sims, they discussed King Felix's perfect game this week and calling 3 no-hitters this season alone. With Slowes, they discussed Stephen Strasburg being shut down despite their strong position in the standings.
The Washington Nationals have looked a lot more like the Washington Generals for the last 79 years. Going back to 1933 as the Washington Senators, there have been no pennants, no World Series Titles. They haven’t had a winning season since moving from Montreal in 2005 and Washington hasn’t seen a winning baseball season since 1969.
Kris and Kenny take your calls as they discuss the Yankees' recent hot streak, RA Dickey's bracelent incident, Felix Hernandez's perfect game, Melky Cabrera's suspension, and the NL Central in a jam-packed show.
The Pittsburgh Pirates trail the Cincinnati Reds by 6 games entering Wednesday, and they're 4-6 over their last 10 games. Some of their early-season success stories like James McDonald have become a distant memory. They hold a Wild Card spot in the NL, but it's by just one game over the Cardinals and Giants.
So, we're asking you: Can the Pittsburgh Pirates win the NL Central? Can they even hold on to the Wild Card spot? Is Andrew McCutchen MVP-bound?
Kenny and Kris listen to the fans react to CC Sabathia's elbow injury, plus reflect on the Mets' series with Atlanta and hear what listeners are saying about the NL West.
As the pennant races come down to the wire, I'm watching the NL West. The Giants have let the Dodgers back in the race, as their lead has shrunk to just a game. With both teams making big trades at the deadline, we could see new heroes on the west coast. While all of this is going on, the Diamondbacks quietly sit 5 games back entering Sunday.
Who will win the NL West? Do the Diamondbacks have a legitimate shot at getting into the playoffs? How many wild card teams will come out of the NL West?
