Episode Starkville | Joe Maddon Loves the Trop, Mike Trout, and the 2016 Cubs
One of baseball’s greatest managers, Joe Maddon, returns to Starkville!
This week, Jayson and Doug catch up with Joe to break down the latest stadium developments in Tampa, reflect on the 10-year anniversary of the historic 2016 World Series champion Cubs, and weigh in on Shohei Ohtani’s singular dominance and Mike Trout’s enduring loyalty.
Later, the guys head to Philadelphia for a wild edition of Strange But True, diving into a pair of stunning Phillies comebacks that proved they are never out of it—even down to their final out.
