A new Royals podcast: Should he stay or should he go? Mike Jirschele makes the call
My eyes have always enjoyed Mellinger MInutes — you know, the Tuesday column on steroids by The Kansas City Star’s Sam Mellinger. Now, we get to add another sense to the equation: Mellinger Minutes for Your Ears.
Sam and producer Savanna Smith have been putting together this podcast since late March, and it’s been terrific stuff. Sam’s landed some great weekly guests and he answers your sports questions along the way each Friday.
This week, Royals third base coach Mike Jirschele visits with Sam about the two biggest decisions in his career, both involved sending or holding a runner. You know them well: holding up Alex Gordon in the ninth inning of Game 7 in the 2014 World Series against the Giants, and sending home Lorenzo Cain in the eighth inning of Game 7 in the 2015 American League Championship Series against the Mets.
And there’s this thing about Arby’s fish sandwiches, too.
Please listen.
