Major League Baseball needs more players like Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty and you're about to find out why in this episode of Keep Swinging. The St. Louis Cardinals selected the right-handed pitcher in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft. Everything leading up to that special moment molded him into the man he is today. He was adopted just three weeks after being born into a family led by his mother who once told him, "don't let people lessen your confidence." She was and still is the ultimate warrior and her son would later develop into one both on and off the mound. Get ready to hear Flaherty's inspirational story and how he turned into one of the most marketable players in the game. 

We agree on only 1 division race while 2 divisions have completely different winners. LOTS of bold picks from all of us including some that will leave you speechless. Find out who we have winning the World Series in this episode of Pack the Brew!

MVP/Cy Young Race:
Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Julio Rodriguez, Manny Machado, Juan Soto, Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Zac Gallen, Spencer Strider, Dylan Cease, Alek Manoah, Framber Valdez, and Luis Castillo

EPISODE 79: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) How could the Republicans be THIS stupid? The man who will lead their attack on Hunter and Joe Biden, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, has been credibly accused by his college girlfriend of violence, psychological abuse, threatening her life, and driving her to the clinic to abort their child. (2:05) Did they think that because the story broke seven years ago it had fallen off the internet? The first full day they are the Majority-Elect they trot out a new head of House Oversight, James Comer of Kentucky, who announces a Hunter Biden investigation and then says "I want to be clear: This is an investigation of JOE Biden." (3:05) No, let ME be clear: this needs to be an investigation of JAMES COMER. This is where this crap STOPS. (5:20) You don't like this kind of stuff? This is the only way to STOP this kind of stuff: the bully has to get the crap beaten out of him, and James Comer is the bully here. Let's Go. (7:15) What the GOP should've announced it was investigating was Ticketmaster (9:10) Still the co-defendant in the Republican Investigation Machine is the media. The Washington Examiner and Red State didn't headline Comer's Folly over Pelosi's Retirement - CNN and The New York Times did. (11:50) And once again CNN's Chief Chris Licht stepped right up with that big "Hit Me" sign around his neck and said "So the play is not to be offensive to A side, right?" I'll explain how wrong he is. (13:43) The good news is: the Democrats are finally getting smart, and David Brock has left Media Matters to run a "SWAT Team" that will investigate the GOP investigators. And they can start with the James Comer scandal. Oh, did I mention the James Comer scandal?

B-Block (20:20) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Miller in Pennsylvania, who ate a sock (21:16) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Space Karen kills Twitter; 1/6 Subcommittee to decide whether to make criminal referrals (23:43) IN SPORTS: The Most Valuable Players are named. If a guy finishes 2nd in that vote AND 4th in the vote for best pitcher, isn't he by definition the "most valuable?" What the hell does "most valuable" mean? (26:38) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mike Pompeo forgets his part in the insurrection, the New York Post has never heard of "Run Of Show" or "Rundown" documents. They compete with Baseball's Commissioner who suddenly announced that if you bet on baseball, you should be banned BY baseball.

C-Block (31:30) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: His classic stories of Man vs. Life: "Nine Needles" and "The Mouse Who Went To The Country."

Your 100% unionized (most of the time) podcast team breaks down the process in motion to authorize the MLBPA to collectively bargain on behalf of minor league players.  It’s happening. Gunnar Henderson takes over the league lead in Quality Hair Above Replacement.  Pottymouth explores the alternate career choices of Rafael Devers and Kike Hernandez. Paul Goldschmidt, Spencer Strider, and Aaron Judge are on tears that did not appear in our truly abysmal pre-season predictions. If you are going to have sex at a ballpark, clearly Rogers Centre is your best choice.  There will be MLB baseball in Mexico City, WBC rosters grow, and so does Puerto Rican women’s baseball. We crosstrain with the WNBA. We say, “follow us for cocktail recommendations but don’t go to Vegas with our predictions,” “We’re going to segue from THAT to unionizing the minors?,” and “I need a chopstick.”
