Episode Notes

In episode 29 of The On Deck Podcast, Roberto covers several major MLB headlines, including Roman Anthony’s surprising eight-year, $180M extension with the Red Sox, Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s record-setting homer off 104 mph heat from Mason Miller, and Devin Williams’ rough season with the Yankees. He also dives into the Angels’ unexpected 5-0 dominance over the Dodgers this year, highlighted by a lightning-fast triple play. The episode wraps up with two big milestones — Justin Verlander’s 3,500th career strikeout and Pete Alonso becoming the Mets’ all-time home run leader. Roberto mixes in personal takes, a rant on Williams’ struggles, and a nod to potential future milestones like Giancarlo Stanton’s march toward 500 homers. Don't forget to like and subscribe!
