Episode 25 | Trevor Bauer Suspended, Kershaw Is Dodgers K King, & Teams Of The Month

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony juggle the dichotomy of celebrating Clayton Kershaw becoming the Dodgers all-time leader in strikeouts and acknowledging disgraced starter Trevor Bauer after being suspended for two full seasons! Before they dive into those stories, they conduct an abridged version of Around The Horn! Teams ending the month on hot streaks like the Yankees, Marlins, Angels, and Twins are lauded, while teams that stumbled toward the finish line like the Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers, and (surprise surprise) Reds are mocked mercilessly. The return of Ronald Acuña Jr, the Mets/Cardinals brawl, the Mets subsequent no-hitter of the Phillies, and the Yankees' not-even-remotely-incriminating letter are covered before revisiting a classic segment to close out April. Teams of the Month is back! Listen as Tom and Tony attempt to screw each other over in a snake draft to build the best team based on the greatest players of April! Watch for those graphics on social media as we close the book on the first month of the season on Episode 25 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
