Podcast: Pujols, Ichiro, and the Inexorable March of Time
On this week’s episode of Ducksnort Baseball Podcast, hosts Greg Nix and Wayland McQueen dive into a packed week of MLB news, including Albert Pujols’s 3,000th hit and Ichiro Suzuki’s retirement.
The Ducksnort boys bid a fond farewell to Ichiro, then debate exactly how meaningful Pujols’s milestone is and what the rest of his career might look like. They also compare the start of Pujols’s career to teammate Mike Trout‘s, who may be putting together a historic 2018 season.
Plus Clayton Kershaw’s latest injury means the Dodgers are even more fucked than they were before, and raises the question of whether he’s still the best pitcher in the world.
Finally, Wayland rants about the pace of play initiative (again) and points out that Rob Manfred’s war against inaction could mean the end of the home run trot.
With thoughts on Max Scherzer, Chris Sale, Corey Kluber, perfect games, Wade Boggs, Walker Buehler‘s sort of no-hitter, Yadier Molina’s VERY unfortunate testicular trauma, and more!
