On this week’s podcast “The Bigg Chill” Scotty Mac and I discuss the surprising decision to DFA veteran utility man Cavan Biggio, whose career has run parallel and always been mentioned in the same breath as Vlad and Bo, going back to the minor-leagues. We reflect on the Blue Jays final visit to Oakland and the unique experiences we remember from the dump that is the Coliseum. We discuss what can be done with the addition of Spencer Horwitz, the future of RHP Alek Manoah and how he could return post-surgery, thjis weekend’s Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction at St. Marys (ON) and much more.
I think everyone is over-analyzing how Kikuchi managed to take out Soderstrom. I think the truth is quite simple. Kikuchi had finished reading a book earlier in the game and had fallen asleep in the dugout to catch up on his regular 16 hours. He was woken up by people reacting to the pop up and stumbled in a half dream-like state onto the field.
