Clay Dalrymple joins us this week.  Clay played in the Majors from 1960-1971 with the Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles. Clay was part of the Phillies collapse in 1964 and also part of 3 World Series teams with the Orioles from 1969-1971.  He reflects on these years and also playing for managers Gene Mauch and Earl Weaver.  Clay threw out almost 50% of the base runners that attempted to steal against him and was an outstanding defensive catcher in his days.  Enjoy this trip Back When There Was Baseball with Clay Dalrymple.

The Twins won 12 in a row with a little help from a bizarre packaged summer sausage that the Twins kept in their dugout.  Whatever the impact the Twins are squarely back in the hunt in the AL Central which is still led by the Guardians. The Dodgers had an interesting week highlighted by a zero strikeout game by the offense on Tuesday vs. the Diamondbacks in an 8-4 win.  Mookie Betts leads the NL in batting average with Will Smith and Shohei Ohtani right behind. Freddie Freeman must be somewhere close.  Max Muncy hit 3 HRs in a game on Saturday in a win vs. the Braves for the first time in his career. The Pirates have sunk to the bottom of the NL Central while the Mariners on the strength of their pitching have risen to the top of the AL West. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

The Braves go 1-5 in their west coast road trip against the Mariners and Dodgers. It's easy to feel a bit down as a Braves fan right now. Their vaunted offense is underperforming and the Phillies have taken the top spot in the NL East. So, what is to blame for the offensive struggles? And how can the Braves bounce back quickly?

I share my predictions for the 2024 AL West. Enjoy me empathizing with A's fans and victory lapping a prior pick. Enjoy!
