Diamond Diehards: Is This the Best Baseball Season Ever?
Aug 26, 2020
Episode description
Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "Dawg" Healy posed the question: Is this the best baseball season ever? There's a strong case for it if you listen closely. The guys also covered the plethora of doubleheaders and what they might mean to MLB in the future. Will we see 7-inning games for scheduled doubleheaders in 2021? Which of the other 202 rules will carry over? Is small-ball coming back, despite all the home runs being hit? Riz & Dawg check out teams like the Orioles, who are witnessing the arrival of a number of their young hitters that seem good at putting the ball in play but seem to share a low (for this day and age) walk rate. The torture for Dawg continued, as his Mets were shut out in the first game of a doubleheader with the Marlins while they were on the air, and were headed to a second shutout loss after the show ended.
The Veteran of the Day was LTC Mark Tallo, the Command Judge Advocate of Connecticut Army National Guard. He has 24 years of service and was deployed multiple times, including time served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
