After a one week absence to deal with real world madness, RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, returned as RotoRob was joined newly minted RotoRob.com MLB Editor Michael Seff.
Among the bases we covered this week:
- Team RotoRob is about to welcome a new NBA writer, Steve Krebs.
- Joe Adcock came inches away from being the only big leaguer to ever hit five homers in a game.
- Jayson Werth had an injury scare this week.
- Austin Jackson got pulled off the field and sent to Em City.
- As per usual, the Padres struggled to get hits.
- Jake Arrieta tossed yet another gem.
- Bud Norris pitched very well, but was overshadowed by Tyler Skaggs’ ill-fated no-hitter.
- Could Jon Lester actually come back to Boston this winter? It’s not as absurd as it sounds.
- Boston’s World Series rotation from 2013 is pretty much all gone now.
- Michael reminisces about how former big league catcher Brent Mayne once came in and pitched in relief, just as John Baker did for the Cubs this week.
- The Rays have a long way to go and a lot of teams to hop over to get back into the playoff picture.
- For instant replay, should the umpires or a command centre make the final call?
- Watch for continued analysis of the baseball season at DraftAmerica.com.
