On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce:

#1 Bruce, you’ve been covering baseball for decades you’ve got to see some Hall of Fame pitchers Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, and Juan Marichal talk about what it was like to see those legends like.

#2 Marichal missed winning the Cy Young Award in 1968 because Bob Gibson had a better ERA that season

#3 What happened to the Houston Astros, dead last in the American League West 9-19. They’ve fallen on hard times since Dusty Baker left.

#4 The Chicago White Sox are also on hard times at 6-22 last in the AL Central what led to their implosion?

#5 The Oakland A’s have come on lately. They’ve just completed a ten game road trip and got swept by the Cleveland Guardians to start the trip, they split a four game series with the New York Yankees, and won a series against the first place Baltimore Orioles. Is this run for keeps or is it a fluke?

On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce:

#1 Washington State and Oregon State have filed restraining orders through a Pullman Washington Court to stop the break up of the Pac 12. The other ten teams have left the barn can the lawsuit filed by the Beavers and the Cougars bring them back?

#2 Bruce, New York Jets head coach Robert Soleh said he wouldn’t be surprised if quarterback Aaron Rogers tries to return next season. Do you see him rehabbing and trying again for 2024.

#3 Bruce the San Francisco 49ers Brock Purdy had himself a great opening day against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a 30-7 win. Purdy went 19-29, 220 yards, two touchdowns. How do you see him shaping up for this next game in the Southland against the Rams.

#4 Turning to baseball the San Francisco Giants are just 1.5 game out of the NL Wild Card race. They had won four of their last four games and have played a couple of nail biters with the Cleveland Guardians during the current series. Every win counts and every loss hurts their chances.

#5 As a network why does ESPN put all of it’s coverage on the NBA and NFL and almost never a mention of MLB during the regular programs and talk shows?
