The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence & Grant Brisbee have a fresh cup of hot baseball takes this week. The guys talk about Hall of Fame credentials, meaningful September baseball and the crazy Wild Card races. September baseball is so much fun if your team is still in it or not. The guys talk about if they like the new Sept rules regarding the rosters and if it is good for the game or not. They talk about how it's different to calculate data when you are playing vs when you are a fan. They talk about the new MLB Hall of Fame class and what goes into someone having the credentials to get into the Hall. They talk about Derek Jeter and Larry Walker and how they were very deserving to make it in this year. The guys talk about the crazy Wild Card races in both leagues. And they talk about how nobody really knows anything sometimes when it comes to baseball.
