Aaron Judge INJURED, Cubs IMMACULATE VIBES, Dodgers HISTORIC NL West record | Ross & Rizzo
Ross and Rizzo UnfilteredShow Notes
David Ross and Anthony Rizzo are BACK for episode 7 of Ross & Rizzo Unfiltered, where the guys talk about the BIGGEST headlines from around MLB. They discuss how the ENTIRE Chicago Cubs team went to Churchill Downs on their off day to support Alex Bregman’s horse who was racing in the last race that day. Pete Crow-Armstrong was seen giving the horse a nice pep talk before the race, and as Rossy says, right now everything PCA touches turns to GOLD as Act of Parliament won last night and the Cubs had a MASSIVE celebration on the infield. The guys then react to Aaron Judge getting hurt with a lower leg injury just seven games after returning from his long stint on the IL with a fractured rib. Rizzo talks about how he HATES that the New York Yankees played him so much despite just coming back healthy, and hopes that the Yankees captain won’t be out for long. The guys react to the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their 13th NL West title in the last 14 years, and talk about how CRAZY it is for the Dodgers to be this good year in and year out. They later talk about the BEST incentives in baseball in their “paper chase” segment as the regular season winds down, and Max Muncy of the Dodgers has one of the coolest incentives you’ll see. Finally, the guys answer fan mailbag questions about their favorite players from growing up, how the 2016 Chicago Cubs would fare in 2026, and how Rizzo is training for the Chicago Marathon that is just under a month away.
