Hoz and Pete tap in for another edition of Diggin' Weekly!
Who wants to win the World Series? I mean, seriously... there are a lot of teams near the top, but not a single club has stood out to us as the favorite. As the AL & NL pennant races heat up, we evalute which teams have the best shot to go the distance in October.
A legend of the game has decided to step away in Joey Votto. The guys revisit moments and stats from his stellar career, his insane on-base percentage numbers, and what his Hall of Fame candidacy might look like.
Week in and week out it's looking more and more like Jackson Merrill is going to come away with the NL Rookie of the Year award. Paul Skenes continues to impress in his rookie campaign, but rumors are swirling he might get shut down. Which could be in the best interest for the Pirates future and his.
Hoz and Pete also break down the viral video of Greg Maddux vs. Barry Bonds that is making its way around the internet. Will we ever see starters in today's MLB like that again? The guys review the proposal from MLB to require starters to go 6+ innings, and how that could change the game in the coming years if it gets passed.
