Episode #79 - Willians Astudillo
from Tater Tots Hosted by Tater Tots
I have tremendous news: my beloved NC Dinos won the Korean Series this morning. This development comes with several important benefits: A sense of pride and exhalation that they have done it, A fitting reward for an excellent season turned in by Koo Chang-Mo, Park Min-Woo, Sung Bum-Na, Yang Eui-Ji, Park Suk-Min, and all of the strong and talented boys comprising the Dinos team, An end to 4:30am alarms, A happy November 24th, A line of new NC Dinos championship merchandise, A gargantuan sword. There is a portion of this podcast in which we discuss whether out listeners may be able to watch at least one game of Korean baseball in the waning days of the 2020 season, and this provides a conclusive "no," so at minimum, we have closure. Today's pod focuses on the magnificent Willians Astudillo, god of contact and slayer of three true outcomes.
