Description

Starkville | Braves IF/OF Whit Merrifield talks about the hit-by-pitch epidemic in MLB and what can be done to fix it or punish the pitcher who throws the pitch. He also talks about currently playing with a broken foot, playing for both the Phillies and Braves this season and how happy he is to see the Royals doing so well.


Strange But True- Jesús Sánchez does something that has never been done in MLB history when he gets called out after getting an intention walk. You have to hear it to believe it.


No Trivia this week, but instead we get to hear about Doug's Vision of Starkville
