Episode 74 | Chaim Bloom Fired, Adam Wainwright Gets 200 Wins, & Last Minute Playoff Push

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony give the Regular Season (both of MLB and their fantasy teams) a proper sendoff! In the spirit of sendoffs, they open with the announced departures of two of the most maligned entities in the AL East: Tropicana Field and Chaim Bloom. After a pair of executive branch hires in David Stearns and Jeff Greenberg, the two take the time to honor Adam Wainwright for reaching career win number 200, Sean Doolittle upon the announcement of his retirement, and Joey Votto in what could be his last home game as a Red. Finally, they take one final look at the big Postseason picture! The two discuss who's in, who's soon to be in, and whatever madness is going on in the AL West and the NL Wild Card. Take a listen and get ready for some playoff baseball here on Episode 74 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
