The "guess the lines" stuff on yesterday's show was great. Also, Hank's pronunciation of Akron was laugh out loud funny.

Not sure, because Hank is so bad at pronunciation, but i think he was intentionally pronouncing LeBron's misspellings on his instagram post.

Hmmm, I didn't read the ~~article~~ post so you may be right. I took it as a normal bad Hank pronunciation. It's less fun for me your way.

i've already forgotten exactly what was said even though i listened to that part less than 4 hours ago, but i'm pretty sure there was a second mispronounced word that was part of Bron's hashtag storm

Ob-jen is still the absolute funniest but there was one recently (which of course now I can't remember) that I thought came really damn close to it.

The only other one I remember that was somewhat recently was superlative as super-relative.

I really enjoyed the Greg Maddux interview on last Friday's show, like a lot. I could listen to that dude talk about baseball all day, I think. "You don't beat hitters, you beat lineups" was a particularly excellent quote, and a really good example of how much the game has changed with all the specialists and whatnot.

I like the stories of him telling guys in the dugout to be aware that a foul ball is coming their way in three pitches and being right.

My favorite thing about his style is the way that he went after guys when it was 0-2. Fuck that "waste a pitch" mentality.

There may be more cool stories about Maddux than any other athlete.

Not Maddux-related, but this is perhaps my favorite baseball story

Circa 1991, the Cubs were in Cincinnati, Rick Sutcliffe pitching for Chicago. Paul O’Neill, then with the Reds, smashed a long home run. In Cincy, home-team homers were followed by fireworks, thus Boom! Bang! Flash! Boom!

The next batter, Eric Davis, blasted one, too. Boom! Bang! Flash! Boom!

Out of the dugout walked pitching coach Billy Connors. As he neared the mound, Sutcliffe protested, hollering to Connors to turn around. He continued to plead with Connors that he has it under control, not to yank him.

When Connors reached the mound, he soothed Sutcliffe with, “I’m not taking you out, Rick. I just wanna give that fireworks guy a chance to reload.”

According to Grace, Sutcliffe could not throw another pitch until he stopped laughing.

I have heard that story before, and it is fantastic.

he told the one about how he called a game for Bruce Chen from the dugout, he threw 8 innings and gave up 1 run. that one gets better with age too because at the time Chen was supposed to be a star prospect and in retrospect he was below replacement level.
