Monday Night Live: November Baseball, World Series Heads To Houston, Will Pitchers Ever Hit Again?

THE WORLD SERIES TROPHY IS POLISHED AND READY TO GO! Riz & Dawg bring you Monday Night Live as the Atlanta Braves travel back to visit the Houston Astros as the 2021 World Series nears its close. The Braves grabbed three of the first four games and jumped to a 4-0 lead in Game Five, but the resilient Astros rebounded to win the game and bring the series back to Texas, where it will finish. Should the Astros take it, the guys talked about the turning point - that one moment where things turned around (hint: it was a tweet by Riz). Quantitative analysis has been a critical part of front office thinking and has penetrated into managers offices around MLB. Dawg explained where the prevailing philosophies of the day can fall short, and shed light on why old-school managers like Dusty Baker and Brian Snitker have found themselves on the brink of a title while others have fallen short. Have we seen the last of pitchers being required to be in the batting lineup in the NL? Now that the Braves' home games are over, the potential of the universal DH being implemented in the off-season looms. Is it the certainty that most pundits have made it? The guys explained why it's not. And the answer may surprise you. There was also a Diehard Dads segment, which included a shoutout to Producer Xavier, who you can follow here: https://www.instagram.com/techandcars/. Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was SFC Otis Fulton, an Engineer and infantrymen with Connecticut Army National Guard. Fulton served 20 years deployed to Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. This one streamed live on the Facebook group, so Uncle Paul was there in the comments. As with all the shows, it's also available on YouTube, iTunes and Spotify (links are below).
