2 Tools Baseball Podcast

Alex and Travis open with a conversation about Corbin Burnes' combined no hitter, Max Scherzer's 3000th career strikeout, and how these feats affect the NL Cy Young race. They also talk about how some other awards races have or have not changed course, specifically with the emergence of Wander Franco and the return of Guerrero Jr.'s triple crown potential. They then provide some historical context on the Triple Crown feat and how that ties into the AL MVP race. They close with some thoughts on the SF Giants being the first team in MLB to clinch a spot in the 2021 Postseason.
