Happy Belated Birthday, Jordan! We got you a podcast episode! On this week's, our 25th, episode of Leadoff Grand Slam, we have a long-awaited Threedoff Grand Slam! The thing we love about baseball is the nebulous concept of players being "healthy," especially when compared with our own civilan relative good health. We get grossed out by a picture of Anthony Rizzo's destroyed ankle (it looks like a bag of grapes thrown against a wall), talk about Max Scherzer's shoulder, and gripe about how easy it must be for MLB players to get flu shots.We also talk Pete Alonso smashing things on Colbert, the Cy Young predictor that doesn't know about Jacob deGrom, the Acuña hustle BS, the Ross Dobnak "Uber" heckle, Brett Taylor of Bleacher Nation pouring 5 beers all over himself on purpose, and we check in on Coach Dave's plants. We also discover Mets players wholesome old tweets.Thanks as always to the great @drawawalkfor our artwork.Stuff we talked about:The Jeff Passan/Brett Taylor challengePete Alonso smashing thingsWholesome old tweets Glenlivet PodsAnthony Rizzo's Ankle (grossout warning)Alex Bregman LOVES October 5thLinks:Leadoff Grand Slam on TwitterLeadoff Grand Slam on Apple PodcastsLeadoff Grand Slam's Website(Recorded 10/5/19)
