Back to EpisodesShould he stay or should he go... approaching third base. Mike Jirschele makes the call
Description
My eyes have always enjoyed Mellinger MInutes, you know the Tuesday column on steroids by the Kansas City Star’s Sam Mellinger. Now, I get to add a sense: Mellinger MInutes for Your Ears. Sam and producer Savanna Smith have been putting together this podcast since late March and it’s been terrific stuff. Sam’s landed some great guests and he answers your sports questions.
This week Royals third base coach Mike Jirschele visits with Sam about the two biggest decisions in his career involving sending/holding a runner. You know them: holding up Alex Gordon in the ninth inning of Game 7 in the 2014 World Series, and sending home Lorenzo Cain in the eighth inning of Game 7 in the 2015 American League Championship Series.
And there’s this thing about Arby’s fish sandwiches.
