Ohtani Cramps Up Again, Wild Card Check-In, and the Heart and Hustle Award Guessing Game Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

Shohei Ohtani pitched four scoreless innings against the Mariners last night before he was forced to stop due to hand cramps. But guess what, he still came back and hit a home run late in the game…only for the Angels to lose 5-3. Jake and Jordan talk about how this man is pushing his body to the absolute limits, and break down how the end of that game went down. Then, they have a look at the Wild Card Picture for each League, guess the winners of the Heart and Hustle Award for each team, and give their nominations for “The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla.”
