The season is in it’s final weeks and it’s time for David Brown to help us decide what races are real and who still has a chance to force their way into the playoffs. They look at the closest races and the remaining schedules to see who might have a chance (Giants?) and who’s already screwed (Texas?) Then they take a look a the incredible second half of Cade Horton and how he’s clearly the best rookie pitcher (and player) and not that skinny giraffe in Milwaukee. They break down the list of guys with numbers retired by more than one team (thanks, Ian Happ for the idea!) They talk about Framber Valdez trying to kill his own catcher. Plus, Anthony Rizzo’s retirement, what a baseball ambassador does, and why the Cubs keep burying their Utility Tunnel of Fame induction during football’s first big Sunday. All that, and more.
