episode 9: The New Alpha Ump (Feat. Jason Krizan)
With Joe West now retired, everyone has been waiting for the next Alpha Umpire of MLB to step up and claim the crown. Dan Bellino officially put his name in the hat this week during one of the most bizarre player/umpire interactions in recent memory where he stared directly at Madison Bumgarner for an uncomfortably long time during a hand check for sticky substances. Jared, Dallas, and Joey break down this unusual moment and try to figure out why it happened. The guys also get into some other topics from baseball this week which include the Yankees win-streak coming to an end, Dallas's call of Mike Zunino's game tying home run on the A's broadcast, John Sterling being up to his old tricks again, Aaron Judge's hot streak and moment with fan in Toronto, and Eric Hosmer being the hottest hitter in baseball. We also catch up with Jason Krizan who over the weekend played in his first MLB game and recorded his first hit in the big leagues after playing 11 years and 1,132 games in the minor leagues. Enjoy!
