The Miz Takes the Mound, Don August Talks Pitching & Homer Finds a Soccer Guy

Homer gets ready for Jacob Misiorowski’s start against the Phillies by talking pitching with former Brewers pitcher Don August. Don explains what he watches for when The Miz is on the mound, how his command has improved, why getting ahead in counts matters, and what separates power pitchers from crafty veterans like Jeff Suppan. Plus, Homer and Don discuss coaching high school baseball, replacement players during the 1995 strike, and Don’s book Pitching to the Corners. Later, Mike DeCourcy joins to help Homer make sense of the World Cup, Team USA’s outlook, and why American soccer still has ground to make up.
