MWAHdcast: Episode 5 – Pension Edition

You know what isn’t fun? Work schedules. Especially when they are in direct conflict with a podcasting schedule. Take it from me, kids, bosses just don’t understand. But we make the time, and last night, Garrett stepped in for my partner MJ for the fifth episode of the MWAHdcast.

There was so much news in the last couple of weeks, that I’m not even sure there’s a place to start. But we found a place. Here’s a rundown of the show’s contents.

• State of the Angels – Dat offense, doe. Is it for real, or just a byproduct of playing underwhelming teams with bad pitching staffs. How do we really feel about Bill Stoneman and Mike Scioscia after the Jerry Dipoto resignation? Listen and find out.
• Mike Trout Propaganda Machine – Trout said no to the Home Run Derby. REJOICE! Obviously, he did it so it would be a fair playing field for everyone else involved. Or just to give Albert Pujols his moment in the sun.
• The Good The Bad and The Ugly – In honor of the return of Stoneman, Garrett and I picked three players that were potentially going to end up as Florida Marlins in a trade that would’ve brought Miguel Cabrera to Anaheim. Those three players are Ervin Santana (still playing), Reggie Willits (not playing) and Joe Saunders (kind of playing).
