Summary
Benches cleared after Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez hit Red Sox batter Trevor Story on Tuesday. Valdez said it was not intentional, while Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said it was a "low moment" for the team. Speculation abounds that Valdez was upset about the Boston stealing signs, rather than the two home runs they hit before Story was beaned. Eduardo Perez joins to break it all down. Later on, Hembo hops on to discuss Matt Olson's hot streak, Rafael Devers slow start, and the rookie who is raking for the Cubs. 0:00 Welcome 0:41 Eduardo Perez joins 0:55 Framber Valdez fallout 3:01 How long should Valdez be suspended? 5:11 Tigers starting pitching injury crisis 6:39 Tarik Skubal out 2-3 months 9:02 Junior Caminero is must-watch 9:57 What is happening with the Giants? 12:09 Carlos Correa out for the season 13:00 Hembo joins the show 13:57 Rafael Devers struggles in San Francisco 18:35 Matt Olson, Hall of Fame bound? 22:30 Red Sox struggling at the plate 25:34 Moises Ballesteros on fire for the Cubs 30:15 Marlins middle infield swap 32:22 Congrats to the Schwinks 33:06 Bleacher Tweets Learn more about your ad choices.
