Asians in Baseball were RAKING this week! Let’s discuss:

1:06 - Our position players went HAM this week! Three guys hit elusive triples, IKF executes a true steal of home, Tommy Edman smacks a 2-out grand slam, Travis d’Arnaud’s 100th homer is a moonshot, and Corbin Carroll stays elite.

24:56 - We offer the Asians in Baseball bump to some of our pitchers, Dane Dunning gets another W, Bryan Woo is looking solid for the Mariners, Robert Stephenson is doing great on his new team, and Brennan Bernadino had an awesome profile come out this week.

31:36 - Ohtani Talk! No wonder the man is tired: he’s on a 15-game hitting streak, leads MLB in homers and RBI, leads the AL in exit velo…as a hitter AND pitcher, and leads the Angels in…well, everything.

51:50 - We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. We discuss the protest of their appearance at the Dodgers and how all LGBTQIA+ people and people of marginalized and underrepresented groups should feel safe and welcomed everywhere, including baseball. (CW: sexual abuse)
