Episode Description from the Publisher

Tim Kurkjian joins to talk about Jacob Misiorowski's latest historical performance: a 15-strikeout complete-game 1-hitter. Buster and Tim also discuss Tarik Skubal's return and what that means for the Tigers, the white hot White Sox, and Pete Crow-Armstrong's correlation to the Cubs' success. Braves All-Star first baseman Matt Olson then joins to discuss one of the most underrated parts of his game: his arm. He also shares a surprising story about the closest he's come to missing a game during his iron-man streak and is wise enough to not share some inside secrets of his batting approach to Cam Schlittler. 0:00 Top of the First (Logan Webb, White Sox, Las Vegas) 2:21 Jacob Misiorowski's complete game 6:09 Tarik Skubal returns 7:35 Jose Ramirez's injury 9:07 Spencer Strider's injury 10:07 Yoshinobu Yamamoto's 1-hitter, White Sox win series 11:18 Cubs dependence on Pete Crow-Armstrong 12:55 Matt Olson's laser arm 15:35 Closest to missing a game 20:38 Returning to Silver Slugger form 24:59 Michael Harris II's breakout season 26:37 Mauricio Dubon's impact on Atlanta 27:56 Views on Walt Weiss' tackle on Soler Learn more about your ad choices.
