Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. The season is in full swing despite COVID-19, so Riz & Jeff "Dawg" Healy are stepping it up to bring you more episodes. No need to wait for the usual Friday night Mets debacle when we have one on a Monday! The guys kicked it off talking about the Mets-Nationals game, which already was 12-0 for the World Series champs before they hit the record button. There was an analysis of Marcus Stroman's opt-out, Steven Matz's horrendous outing, and Yoenis Cespedes' golf game, which transitioned to a review of the Cardinals' potential schedule, which could call for a doubleheader every fourth day. Does that mean they should throw in the towel? Riz & Dawg think there is a chance St. Louis could make the schedule work in their favor. Information about what is happening on a daily basis is at a low point for the Internet era, thanks to the scant amount of reporters actually attending games, and the guys analyzed why that is, while giving props to pal Mike Puma, the Mets' beat writer for the NY Post who was the only reporter to travel on their recent trip to Atlanta. Puma also had a tweet about the Mercy Rule in MLB, which prompted a lively back-and-forth exchange. The Angels' Jo Adell made the podcast for his efforts in the outfield over the weekend, and the NHL and its Draft Lottery also brought some discussion, in that it might be a preview to some of Baseball's potential administrative decisions. The guys also came up with a potential trivia question in Jeopardy fashion, with their old Fordham pal Miguel Jimenez being the answer, but the question being unclear. The Veteran of the Day was World War II Purple Heart recipient George Kitcher, who died March 20, 1945, five days after taking wounds. The 63rd ID, 254th Regimen, 1st Battalion, A Company was taking Einscheim, possibly punching toward the Sigfried Line.The Chatter Links:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/229752454881954/DD Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiamondDiehardsDD Instagram: https://instagram.com/DiamondDiehardsRiz Twitter: https://twitter.com/RearNakedChokeRiz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joerizzomma/Dawg Twitter: https://twitter.com/JeffHealy8
