Nuthin' But Baseball - Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Tab Bamford.
Part of the Revolver Podcast Network.
Paul and Tab open this week’s show digging in with a discussion of the debacle that pitchers being
checked for substances has become. From Max Scherzer and Sergio Romo getting the TSA treatment to
coaches and managers having words, it’s been a rough start to the new policy across Major League
Baseball.
The guys then took a trip around the bases, sharing their excitement about Shohei Ohtani committing to
take part in the Home Run Derby in Denver and him being one of the leaders on the updated All-Star
Game voting. They also went in on Byron Buxton’s bad luck, Javier Baez getting the shower early after a
mental mistake and the College World Series action.
This week’s The Good highlighted the major league debut of the No. 1 prospect in the game: Wander
Franco of the Tampa Bay Rays. Franco hit a huge home run and added a double in an impressive first big
league game. How long can he make it look this easy? And what impact does his promotion have on the
American League East race?
This week’s WTF went hard at the Arizona Diamondbacks, who appear to have quit on the 2021 season.
They snapped a 17-game losing streak earlier this week but have won four games since May 11 and
appear to be ready to sell. When will they put players on the market? And how many moves do they
have to make to right the ship when morale is this bad?
Finally, our Fantasy Add of the Week was from the San Francisco Giants. Stephen Dugger could help you
if injuries are plaguing your roster. Give him a look!
