David Ross and Anthony Rizzo are BACK for Episode 6 of Ross & Rizzo Unfiltered where the guys talk about how the New York Yankees are in a PERFECT spot to make a World Series run after getting Aaron Judge back, and having the BEST pitcher in the AL in Cam Schlittler. After clinching a playoff berth last night, the Yankees are starting to fire on all cylinders at the perfect time. The guys talk about Ronald Acuna Jr. playing the VILLAIN role in the Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies HEATED rivalry as the former MVP has DOMINATED the Phillies this season, especially over the last two weeks as the Phillies try to close the gap in the NL East. Pete Crow-Armstrong tied Billy Williams for most home runs by a lefty in Cubs history after hitting his 42nd last night. PCA now needs only 3 stolen bases to join the 40/40 club. Pete Alonso returned to face his former team in the New York Mets where he was greeted with a standing ovation after 7 years with the Mets, and became the franchise leader in home runs. The guys talk about the MASSIVE series between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians as this 3-game set could decide who wins the AL Central, and Rizzo talks about the Roberto Clemente Award finalists and about how meaningful this award is in the game of baseball. Finally, the guys answer fan mailbag questions about the Chicago Cubs struggling bullpen, catching a no hitter, and Rizzo’s infamous 14-pitch at bat that ended in a home run.
