On MLB The Show podcast with Titus:

#1 Just recently auctioned baseball memorabilia a Mickey Mantle 1958 home game worn jersey sold for $4.68 million which went for double the previous Mantle jersey. A Mantle 1952 Topps rookie baseball card sold for $4.5 million. The total take for both sales $9.2 million.

#2 Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero is badly missed by the Jays with a finger injury. Guerrero left Sunday’s after middle finger soreness against the Cincinnati Reds. Guerrero had trouble swinging the bat and was losing his grip and had to sit in the fourth inning. Guerrero is day to day.

#3 Los Angeles Angels two way star Shohei Ohtani who hit a grand slam and the Angels had a triple play still lost the game 9-6 last Saturday. The Angels got clobbered on Saturday in the second game of a double header 18-4. The Angels have lost six of their last ten games. This situation isn’t improving as the Angels have lost six of their last ten and their post season hopes dim. Ohtani will go shopping in the off season most likely.

#4 The Oakland A’s have selected their construction company who will build their new ballpark in Las Vegas Mortensen-McCarthy. Mortensen-McCarthy is the same construction company that built Allegiant Stadium. The A’s plan to build the 30,000 park on nine acres with a retractable roof at the Tropicana hotel at a cost of $1.5 billion.

#5 Triple cancelation due to Hurricane Hilary games in Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Diego were moved to doubleheaders on Saturday and all games in the Southland were canceled due to the tropical storm and flash flooding. The Angels were rained out once again on Monday night and return to action on Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds at the Big A.

MLB The Show podcast with Charlie O:

#1 They’re already talking about who is going to be the AL MVP and it’s an easy guess once again the Los Angeles Angels MVP from 2022 and sure fire 2023 season two way player Shohei Ohtani.

#2 Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin has been placed on the 15 day IL and manager Dave Roberts told reporters before today’s game that Gonsolin will not pitch again for the rest of the season. Gonsolin got racked up by the Miami Marlins for five home runs on Friday and Roberts had but no choice to put him on the shelf.

#3 New York Mets Starling Marte who has been plagued by injuries all season, this season has felt bad coming off of surgery to repair of core muscle on both sides of his groin. Marte’s legs were bothering him and he looked slower on the field and looked slow going after simple fly balls. Marte also was complaining of migraines.

#4 The Mets first baseman Pete Alonso got some ink over throwing St Louis Cardinal rookie Masyn Wynn’s first big league hit ball into the stands. They had to promise that fan a song to get that ball back. Alfonso felt bad and apologized to Wynn but Wynn in essence said don’t worry about it I wasn’t paying attention to the ball either.

#5 The Los Angeles Angels are just have just having a tough time of it on Friday night they got a grand slam from Ohtani and a triple play and lost on Saturday as in the Tropical Storm doubleheader the Angels lost the front game to the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 and lost the night cap in a laugher 18-4.

On That”s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Major League Baseball has been encouraged to change it’s Sunday schedule a day ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Hilary which is expected to be a Category 1 tropical storm in the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. Hilary is expected to bring winds of 60 MPH. The forecast has forced the three teams in the Southland to move all games to Saturday.

#2 MLB has announced on Friday that the games between the Arizona at San Diego, Tampa Bay at Los Angeles Angels, and Miami at Los Angeles Dodgers all will be played as double headers on Saturday. Forecasters have said that this hurricane could rival nothing California has ever seen before with winds, rain and gusts that could do severe damage to the Southland.

#3 Amaury, the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins know all about hurricanes what all the teams plan to do after Saturday night’s game will they hunker down in a solid building structure in downtown LA or downtown San Diego or will they charter a plane out of town until the coast is clear?

#4 Angels manager Phil Nevin said he’s lived in the Southland for 52 years and has never seen anything like this and says while he’s curious and excited it’s down right scary what could happen. There are millions of people who could get trapped by this hurricane and causalities could be shocking.

#5 Amaury, the last time a tropical storm hit the Southland was on Sep 25, 1939, Joe DiMaggio was in his third year in baseball, no MLB was in the Southland yet and Anaheim wasn’t even a twinkle in Walt Disney’s eye.
