The Miami Marlins might sneak into the MLB playoffs

The Miami Marlins... might sneak away into the playoffs. They're six games out of the Wild Card. I don't know, fun story going on in Miami.

The Miami Marlins did NOT sneak into the 2025 MLB playoffs. They finished 79-83 and were eliminated from contention on September 25.

Beards are causing baseball injuries because the face is connected to the elbow

My who's back is baseball injuries 'cause Garrett Cole's out for the year... Bad Tommy John. They should never change the rules about shaving your face. Like this, this would not have happened if he was clean shaven. That's true. That's your, your face. Your face is connected to your shoulder, to your elbow.

There is no medical evidence linking facial hair to ulnar collateral ligament tears.

Signing Aaron Judge to a mega-deal was a mistake

Build around Aaron Judge. ... I don't know if you wanna build around Aaron Judge. He's like 32 isn't he? They just signed him to a mega deal. I know that was a mistake. ... He's gonna be 32 before next season. Okay. Whew. And he's got like 14 years left on his contract.

Judge won the 2024 AL MVP and had an all-time great season, making the 'mistake' label look very early.

I love my guys. We're gonna win the next three games. We won't even go back to Houston. ... We're gonna score so many runs this week.

The Phillies won Game 3 but lost Games 4 and 5 at home, eventually losing the series in 6 games in Houston.

The 2022 World Series will be the Phillies vs. the Padres

Can you imagine if it's the Phillies and the Padres in the World Series? How right I would be. Yeah, that would be sick. If the AL just imploded. That would be the all-time prediction.

Impossible outcome. Two teams from the same league cannot meet in the World Series.

Defensive teams should score a run if they turn a triple play.

Actually, I think you should be able to get a run for a triple play. On defense, you should be able to score a run if you get a triple play... give us what the fans want, and that's defensive runs.

MLB rules do not currently allow defensive teams to score runs via putouts.

The Chicago Cubs prospect Jesus Camargo was likely a front for a drug cartel

Jesus Camargo was arrested after police found 21 pounds of meth in his team equipment bag... Is this something that's an organizational thing where he was assigned to do that? I wouldn't put it past Ricketts to make money any which way. It would not shock me. It'd actually be good for baseball if the Chicago Cubs were just straight up like the Juarez cartel.

There is no evidence that the Chicago Cubs organization was involved in meth trafficking.

Bartolo Colon is definitely going to return to MLB

So he [Bartolo Colon] is going to be back. It's a pre-laden back. I saw a tweet saying that he was signed with the Tigers, and then everyone's like, that's fake news... but he is going to be back.

Bartolo Colon's last MLB game was in 2018. He played in the Mexican League thereafter but never returned to MLB.

Albert Pujols is the best Angel of all time

3,000 hit club, Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels. Probably the best angel of all time, right? [PFT:] Angel for life. [Big Cat:] Move on. Best angel going into Cooperstown with that halo.

While Pujols hit 3,000 with the Angels, Mike Trout is universally considered the best Angel ever, and Pujols' best years were in St. Louis.

I almost got a tattoo of Javier Baez on the back of my neck after seeing his slide against the Blue Jays.

Javi Baez had such a good slide for the Cubs to win an extra inning... In that time, I almost got myself an El Mago tattoo. ... Maybe on the back of my neck like his MLB tattoo.

Big Cat did not actually get an El Mago neck tattoo.
