MLB The Show podcast Charlie O:
#1 The Atlanta Braves reinstated left hand pitcher Chris Sale off the 60 day IL. Sale started Saturday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Sale had been suffering from a fractured left rib cage June when he dived for a ground ball. Sale had pitched 4.2 inning of relief in his last rehab start in Triple A last week.
#2 Walker Buehler who was the cat’s meow during his days with the Los Angeles Dodgers and who got the final out in last season’s World Series and was suppose to be the star pitcher for the Boston Red Sox this season but was released Friday. The Sox said he wasn’t able to help in their playoff push in the bullpen. Buehler signed a $21.05 million contract and went 7-7 ERA 5.45. Charlie do you see someone picking up Buehler?
#3 The New York Mets Jonah Tong made his MLB debut going five innings and allowing one earned run striking out six. They also were swinging the bats with six home runs and set a team record for most home runs in a game in their 19-9 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday night.
#4 Documents from Pete Rose’s deceased bookie Ronald Peters shows that Peters ran a bookmaking and narcotics operation. Some of the information in the file was in the 1989 Dowd report by MLB. The documents focus on Rose’s deceased bookie, Ronald Peters, and a mid-1980s investigation into narcotics and bookmaking operations that Peters ran. Some of the information in the released Rose file appears to have been covered in the 1989 Dowd report, commissioned by Major League Baseball. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed the lifetime ban and Rose is eligible to get elected into the Hall of Fame can he make it?
#5 Cleveland Guardians general manager Chris Antonetti said that the recent decision between the Guardians and Carlos Santana to leave was between both sides. Santana had asked for an opportunity to play for another team and was granted waivers on Thursday. Antonetti said that the Guardians are much appreciated of Santana’s time with Cleveland.
