Game 4 went 12 innings and the Rays finally broke through, so the Brewers take a 3-1 lead into St. Pete tonight with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound. Covino and Rich get into the Joey Ortiz error that let Tampa back in and why Cooper Pratt got robbed of a home run Milwaukee would have replayed forever. Rich isn’t buying Junior Caminero’s hammy grab after he jogged out a grounder and then flew from first to third. Covino says he’s done with swing-and-miss baseball, and Ron Darling’s question about whether aces are still worth $40 million turns into a real debate.
Then it gets weird. Police were called to a youth soccer field in Florida after parents complained a 3-year-old was dominating their 5-year-olds, which opens the phone lines for your worst sports parent stories, including the day Rich’s mom Marianne heckled a Little League pitcher for throwing meatballs. Big Mike argues trunk-or-treat ruined Halloween. In Mid Weak Major, Iowa Sam brings Fleetwood Town’s Carabao Cup stunner over Arsenal and Sylvester Stallone’s defense of nepotism, and the guys give Ernie Johnson his flowers as he heads into his last season on Inside the NBA.
