Long Gone
Ep. 265: Miz Over Skenes?
•
On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys debate who the better pitcher is right now between Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes and Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski, as both young flamethrowers continue to take the league by storm. They also discuss Kyle Schwarber’s chase for home run history, questioning whether he could threaten the marks set by Aaron Judge or even Barry Bonds, or if he’ll fall short the way Cal Raleigh did last season.
The boys then dive into the Cubs’ brutal 9-game losing streak, debating whether Chicago’s hot start was fool’s gold and if the club is beginning to show it may not be built to win the NL Central after all.
With Memorial Day week marking the unofficial quarter point of the season, the boys hand out their quarter-season awards, including MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year, while comparing the results to their preseason predictions.
They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner where they talk with Nick Green over at Market Movers about the latest trends in cards!
