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.
