Many coaches in many different sports will tell you that defense wins championships. That adage was on full display in game one of the World Series this week. In podcast #30, host Gene Gumbs breaks down each of the gaffes and great plays that made a difference in the Royals’ 5-4 win in 14 innings on Tuesday.
The defense was just one of the story lines in the World Series classic. There was the news that Edinson Volquez‘s father passed away that morning and, at the request of Volquez’s wife, the team kept the news from him until after his start. Then there was the outstanding relief efforts put in by Jon Niese of the Mets and Chris Young of the Royals.
Game two is tonight and features the battle of the hair – Jacob deGrom for the Mets and Johnny Cueto for the Royals. And by the way, are we that desperate for news that we need an announcement that deGrom is going to cut his hair after the season? New flash – I am going to trim my fingernails this weekend.
Sheesh.
Also in this episode:
- Is anyone else sick of the NFL playing London?
- If true, Lenny Dykstra‘s latest disclosure may make him the worst person in sports – ever.
