Episode Notes
In Episode 552, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about soccer and Seattle Mariners signatures and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Do You Know How the West Was Won?: The Al West remains...well a kind of fascinating we guess.
2. Hotlanta: Let's give the Braves (and Bryce Elder) their flowers.
3. Around the Horn: A lot of demotions, one call up and the usual injuries.
4. What to Watch: Craig doesn't pick the Dodgers, does pick the Jays, but someone has to pick the Dodgers
5. Is your surname Smith? Do you have an interesting nickname?
