Mets First to 10, Cabrera Gets Booned, Athletics Pathetic Home Issues and More!
Description
Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Tab Bamford
We're now two weeks into the 2022 MLB season and we've seen some exciting performances on the field. The Cleveland Guardians are in first place, the New York Mets are the first team to reach 10 wins and four of the five teams in the National League West have won at least eight games entering Friday. There's been plenty of big scores and fun performances already this year!
Tab and Paul dig in and discuss the greatness of Miguel Cabrera as he approaches 3,000 career hits. How exclusive is the company he's in? The number of other players who have done what he's accomplished in the big leagues is incredibly small. The respect for Miggy is universal -- to the point that Aaron Boone didn't want to let him try for his 3,000th hit with the game on the line in the eighth inning in Detroit on Thursday. The guys have thoughts on Boone's free pass...
They also spent a few minutes discussing the ugly situation in Oakland. The A's had less than 6,500 fans at two home games this week -- total. With ownership flirting with moving the team to Las Vegas and the front office trading away their best players once again this winter, can you blame the fans for not showing up or paying for tickets? Does this situation have a resolution in Oakland or does a divorce need to happen?
Hang with us for Tab's fantasy add of the week at the end of the show. Which first baseman should you keep an eye on to help your offense?
Thank you for listening.
