Starting 9 Episode 47: Pat McAfee
On Episode 47 of Starting 9, we’ve got the one, the only, Pat Motherfuckin’ McAfee on with us to talk about his professional baseball debut that will be happening TONIGHT for the Washington Wild Things of the Independent Frontier League. We ask him how this opportunity all came about, the fact that they’re billing this as Dingers Only Night, the betting odds for him getting a hit, not getting a hit and what he’d place the odds at for him hitting a home run, if he’s ever taken actual batting practice before, if he’s ever caught a fly ball before, what he’s been doing to prepare for this, what type of content will come from this, we give him some tips and tricks to help him out, and a LOT more.
Outside of the interview, we’re talking about which shortstops we’d take over Andrelton Simmons, the Astros steamrolling everybody, Juan Soto being an absolute monster for the Nationals and whether that helps DC move on from Bryce Harper in free agency, the Nationals trading for Kelvin Herrera, Hunter Strickland missing 6-8 weeks after punching a door, a new buy or sell segment, and Twitter questions from the Grounds Crew.
