Episode 507: MUNEMANIA

from Asians In Baseball Hosted by Asians in Baseball

We're officially 1/4 of the way through the season, and the stars are BRIGHT! 10:20 - Let's talk about position players, beginning with the IL report. Do not adjust your screens, KIM HA SEONG HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!! Also, Song Sun Mun makes his debut with the Padres and Tommy Edman just needs a whole new ankle at this point. 17:00 - In the IL report: expanded edition, Anthony Volpe also finally returns to the IL...only to be sent down to the minors?! And the return of Mookie Betts means that Kim Hyeseong...is NOT sent down?! What in the heck is happening?! 27:48 - Ohtani is all in on the Cy Young, which is good because as a hitter he is officially slumping. 38:00 - Onto pitching! Shota Imanaga is proving the North Side of Chicago has a Japanese superstar too, whereas Kumar Rocker is still looking to find his stride. 58:39 - IT'S MUNEMANIA!!! For this week's hot topic, we get into the hot start from Munetaka Murakami, the slugging sensation that 29 teams passed on but the whole world is watching.
