We start with @PitchingNinja Rob Friedman settling the great sweeper debate and solving the league's player marketing problem. The pitching guru/creator questions MLB's ongoing sticky stuff rules confusion, gets pressed on who his favorite pitcher is, and tells us how the league indirectly helped his content blow up. He also sparks a theme that had Adam Jones fuming: Chris "Mad Dog" Russo didn't like Marcus Stroman showing emotions and when Brewers masher Rowdy Tellez joined in, he dunked on Sad Dog's pitiful plea for a boring world. Rowdy applauds flashy celebrations, doesn't get paid for his mic'd up gold during games and reveals if he's ever hit a stink bomb. Padres minor leaguer Evan Mendoza has a highly successful hobby: baseball influencer. He gives tips to young players about how to grow an audience and connect with them. He also explains why social media is not for everyone.

Our dude Liam Hendriks is back from his battle with cancer and each of our hosts has a unique connection with the superstar closer/human being. We shoutout more comebacks: Mike Soroka for the Braves and Royce Lewis for the Twins. Pierzynski, Kratz, Braun and Adam Jones also dissect the state of the Guardians but Adam hilariously comments on why he would not be very into playing there. Pete Alonso's poop homer breaking news from Friday's show went ultra-viral: we have fresh reactions and experiences playing off the stink bomb story. Congrats to Astros slugger Jose Abreu on homerun #1 and the controversy that ensued from that series: some A's didn't like the celly and someone shut down the Astros clever tweet about A's attendance ;) Tap in for Foul Territory gold -- For new BetMGM accounts: Bet $10 get $100 instantly when you use the promo code SPICYBALL Gambling problem or concern?
