That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury the talk during Labor Day weekend the fear was that the spike would go up and put face masks, gloves and social distancing aside during the scorching heat.

#2 Baseball is planning to have bubbles for the post season in Texas and Los Angeles for the playoffs and World Series do you see it working the same way it worked for the NHL and NBA.

#3 Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was ejected for yelling at umpires from the luxury boxes on Monday telling umpire Joe West and his crew they were brutal. With the stadium empty everything can hear everything that anyone is saying.

#4 The Los Angeles Angels TV announcer Victor Rojas said that a home run hit by the Angels in the top of the seventh was a walk off three run home run by Anthony Rendon. Which in some ways is understandable because the Angels were playing a make up doubleheader as the visiting team in Angels Stadium in their home uniforms. Rojas quickly walked back the walk off and said the Angels took the lead.

#5 On Wed Sep 9th at PNC Park the Pittsburgh Pirates will be wearing #21 in dedication to Roberto Clemente a tribute to one of the greatest Pirates ever who died trying to deliver relief to Nicaragua Dec 31st 1972.  Clemente got his 3000th major league hit to end the 1972 season on Sep 30th and it would be his final MLB game.
