Episode Angels' New Ownership + Barker's Former Skip Rick Sweet

0:00 49:52

Kevin Barker's former skipper and current Nashville Sounds, Milwaukee Brewers AAA Affiliate manager Rick Sweet (12:00) joins the guys to chat about how he has dealt with players who've had struggles both in their at-bats and on defence, how difficult is it to throw and manage a no-hitter after former Blue Jay Thomas Pannone made history in International League history, and the biggest changes in managing a team since he first started up till today. Then, L.A. Times national MLB writer Bill Shaikin joins the guys (31:36) to discuss what it means for the Angels to have a fresh start with new owner Stan Kroenke, the future for the city of Anaheim, the differences between the Dodgers and Angels, if Stan would be willing to pay Mike Trout, if Shohei Ohtani will pitch a game again, and if the age and mileage is catching up to the Dodgers.
