On this episode, host Alex Miniak and the three-time All-Star Heath Bell trade stories from the mound at Dodger Stadium and Oracle Park — from regrettable Dodger Dogs to ice-cold nights in San Francisco. Heath also reveals the best (and worst) clubhouse amenities in the West.
Heath breaks down what makes the Dodgers beatable, why the Padres-Dodgers rivalry has overtaken the old Giants feud, and how the upcoming back-to-back series against both teams could decide the NL West race.
With back-to-school week in San Diego, Alex gives Heath a Padres history quiz — and let’s just say he earns more than a “D for diploma.” It’s ballpark tales, rivalry breakdowns, and a crucial stretch of Padres baseball you won’t want to miss.
