Red Sox outslug Yankees, possible World Series preview & weekend recap

Baseball Bar-B-Cast

This past weekend saw the latest chapter in the greatest rivalry in baseball as the Boston Red Sox took on the New York Yankees in the Bronx. While there never needs to be an extra level of competitiveness between the two clubs, Sunday’s starter for Boston gave the Bronx Bombers a little extra incentive to try to show him up.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Hunter Dobbins’ absurd comment that made headlines about retiring before signing with the Yankees right before he went on to have a solid outing in the Red Sox’s series-clinching game. The guys then discuss why Boston’s performance this weekend was extremely frustrating to watch, even though they won two out of three in the Bronx.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan discuss whether we saw a World Series preview this past weekend when the Chicago Cubs took their series against the Detroit Tigers, why they’re really excited to see what Buster Posey does at the trade deadline after the San Francisco Giants made another statement sweep against the Atlanta Braves and whether Corbin Burnes getting Tommy John surgery might actually work out in the Arizona Diamondbacks' favor—for now.
