Episode 41 | Big Rule Changes Coming, MiLB Unionizes, & Pennant Race Update
This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony take a moment to step back and thank all you wonderful people who have been with us through one year of the show! Whether you've been with us for just one episode or all 41, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and we can't wait for many more years to come. Following these sentimentalities, the two dive into some seismic rule changes coming to the game in 2023. The significance of a pitch clock, the banning of the shift, and larger bases are debated and discerned as to whether they will make the game better or worse. Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame ceremony in the Bronx is discussed and tied with a recent trip taken by the duo to go see the Yankees clobber the Rays in person! The two then switch gears to talk about the next great step forward for minor leaguers: the establishment of the MiLB union! The retirement of journeyman pitcher, Edwin Jackson, sparks the return of the trivia segment with a unique twist! Last but most certainly not least, the duo closes out the show with a look at every division race across baseball and debate how each of them could turn out. We had a lot to get through in this one so sit back and take it all in here on Episode 41 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
