Image result for mike Piazza 9/11Ack and Kiz return for Episode 61 to discuss the Christian Yelich injury (bummer), the award races, and the playoff hunt in both leagues.

The trade deadline has passed and there are no more deals to be made. Ack and Kiz are back to talk about every deadline move: who was involved, how it affects the playoff picture, how it changes a team’s future.  A quick foray into Baseball Aesthetics brings up the many throwbacks of the last couple weeks and Baseball Reference Page of the Day covers Doyle Alexander. Go Bullets and Hooray Sports!

They talk a couple guys in the later stages of trusting the process, the ridiculous debate on whether or not Major League Baseball should put up more nets to help protect fans in the wake of the heartbreaking Albert Almora scene (19:20), and remember the late great Bill Buckner in Baseball Reference Page of the Day. Hooray Sports!

The show closes with Ichiro as the Baseball Reference Page of the Day. Hooray sports!
