Starkville | The Great Stolen Base Controversy, and Mozzarella Sticks

Pete Crow-Armstrong was thrown out stealing on a walk... except he wasn't actually caught stealing on a walk. Confused? So were Jayson and Doug. This week, they break down PCA's controversial play at second base against the Mets, explain exactly what happened, and debate whether the league needs to change the rule.Then, the guys revisit last week's search for a nickname worthy of Jacob Misiorowski's electric fastball, turning to the Starkville Hotline to hear listeners' best submissions.Later, Jon ‘Boog’ Sciambi joins the show to talk about his working relationship with Doug, the Cubs' up-and-down season, the unique atmosphere at Wrigley Field, the time he bought mozzarella sticks for an entire bar, and a couple hilarious stories about Chipper Jones.Rundown:2:59 Pete Crow-Armstrong’s Steal That Wasn’t13:58 Nickname for Jacob Misiorowski’s Fastball20:18 Jon ‘Boog’ Sciambi Joins the Show22:08 Was PCA Safe or Out?28:13 The 2026 Chicago Cubs33:38 Great Rivalries35:57 Boog the Broadcaster41:15 ‘Mozzarella Sticks for Everybody’44:29 Calling Games at Wrigley Field47:31 Calling the World Series49:41 Boog’s Bucket List50:52 Chipper Jones’ Stories57:15 Strange But True w/ the PhilliesFollow Jayson on Bluesky: @jaysonst.bsky.socialFollow Doug on Bluesky: @dougglanville.bsky.socialE-mail: [email protected] Hotline: (347) 313-8371Subscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleWith: Jon ‘Boog’ SciambiProducer: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
