Mid-Inning Relief Podcast — The Tenth One! Josh Hader, Mike Trout, and “Obnoxious” Bachelorette Parties
We are back! Mid-Inning Relief returns after our own little All-Star Break, and we have things to SAY. Marty Lurie, Ally Williams, and Carmen Kiew discuss Josh Hader’s tweets, MLB’s response, and the Milwaukee Brewers fans’ standing ovation after the ordeal. The Mid-Inning Relief crew also goes over Mike Trout’s self-promotion (and lack-thereof), whether the San Francisco Giants will buy or sell at the deadline, and if bachelorette parties, jumbotron proposals, and similar celebrations should be welcomed at the ballpark.
Thank you for your support! We are excited to be back and releasing our TENTH podcast. Tune in every week for news and opinions on the Giants and Major League Baseball.
