This week, the thing Jordan (yes, valiant, solo Jordan) loves about baseball is the Cubs radio broadcast team. He does an incredible improvised version of Pat Hughes' ad lead-in, and waxes poetical about Hughes and Rons Coomer and Santo. We/Jordan also do/does a Trade Deadline Recap (tl;dr: the "big" trades broke late but were big, holy crap the Astros are tight, the Mets are confusing, the Reds are that pathetic person who starts dating the toxic ex of a friend, the "medium" trades were medium).The Pirates and Reds are getting to a really rough place in their relationship, friends. They had a real slobberknocker of a fight.Our other baseball podcast of the week was Tipping Pitches.
