Episode Synopsis

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Certain players elicit certain emotions and memories. Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list. Bradfo gets a chance to sit down with Red Sox reliever Chris Murphy less than 24 hours after he secured a tent-pole moment in his young career by striking out Ohtani in a key spot Friday night. Considering how far Murphy has come after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the significance of the at-bat wasn't lost on the lefty. He explains his thoughts, emotions, and execution in the showdown, while going on to talk about what striking out one of his heroes, Bryce Harper, also meant. There is also a lot of good inside baseball talk regarding what pitching measurements are actually important.
