DMac talks about the Colorado Rockies game against the LA Dodgers last night, and says Drew Goodman had an excellent call on Yasiel Puig’s home run, as Goodman exclaims Puig has ‘done it again.’ Big Al didn’t like Puig’s bat-flip, and DMac says Bud Black lost his mind. Also, the guys try to figure out the problem with Colorado leaving runners on base.
In the Big 3, Al dives into the TNF matchup tonight between Tyrod Taylor’s Browns & Sam Darnold’s Jets, and notes Joey Bosa’s little brother’s injury. Also, DMac wonders if the Packers should rest Aaron Rodgers, and Big Al expects Rodgers to simply adjust & play on his hurt knee.
