Starting 9 Ep. 53: Trade Deadline Reaction, The Nationals Are An Internal Disaster, And The Astros Trading For Roberto Osuna Seems Like A Bad Idea (feat. Mookie Wilson)
On Episode 53 of Starting 9, we’ve got a legend in the house. 1986 World Series champion Mookie Wilson joined us to talk about the brand new Hall of Fame class, the art of switch hitting, the state of the Mets, how much baseball he’s watching these days, who his favorite players to watch are, the 1986 World Series (obviously), what the mood was like in the clubhouse before Game 7 of the World Series, what his relationship with Bill Buckner is, how long it took Bucker and Wilson to speak after the Game 6 catastrophe, and much more.
Outside of the interview, we’re talking about all of the biggest trade deadline deals, the winners and losers of the deadline, the Astros trading for Roberto Osuna who is currently serving a 75-game suspension for domestic assault, how none of the Astros players were consulted before the deal was made even though a handful of them spoke out against an Astros prospect who was guilty of the same thing back in March, the A’s finally catching the Mariners for the second Wild Card spot in the American League, the drama surrounding the Washington Nationals, and we wrap by taking your Twitter questions.
