Today’s word of the day is ‘Bruce!” as in Bruce Springsteen as in Coldplay as in last night I went to a concert and Bruce showed up! Couldn’t believe it! (14:35) Welp, Joe Girardi got fired. It happened. I thought the Phillies would wait until after the season, but it happened. The Phillies were a dumpster fire. There was too much money spent in payroll for the Phillies to be as bad as they are. Giardi was in his 3rd year with the team and it just didn’t work out. We all knew this was going to be the case and the players couldn’t take it anymore. (24:45) The Los Angeles Angels stink. They are bad. 11 straight losses. Mike Trout can’t hit. The bullpen can’t get outs. They went from 1 game back all the way to 8.5 games back in 2 weeks. Ohtani can’t hit. He’s been average pitching. Can they turn it around? (29:35) Review: Poisoned - America’s Fentanyl Problem. (36:40) What is going on in Tampa? The Rays hosted a PRIDE night and it didn’t go as planned (or maybe it did). Some players on the team refused to wear the rainbow logo to for PRIDE night. Manager Kevin Cash spoke with he media to address what happened. So did pitcher Jason Adam. And that’s when things took a turn. (47:45) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
