Mike Trout’s season is done, Orioles roster shuffle and Heart and Hustle Award winners announced
When the 2024 season started, the baseball world was delighted to see a healthy Mike Trout back to his MVP form, including stealing bases like he was a rookie again. Unfortunately, a torn meniscus forced him to the IL at the end of April, and it was just announced that he suffered another tear while rehabbing the injury, which will cause Trout to miss the rest of this season.
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the extremely disappointing news surrounding the three-time American League MVP, and they discuss how the ownership group from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim let Trout down by not assembling a true postseason contender and why baseball fans have been robbed of his potential greatness in October.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about how the Baltimore Orioles are shuffling their roster post trade deadline, including recalling top prospects Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo in hopes of giving the team a spark during their slump. They also make their guesses at who was named their team's Heart and Hustle Award winner for 2024 before giving their picks for The Good, The Bad and The Uggla for this week.
(1:41) - Mike Trout is out for the rest of 2024

(28:19) - 2024 Heart and Hustle Award winners

White Sox finally win, taking a look at end-of-year awards and remembering Billy Bean
It has finally happened. For the first time since July 10th, the Chicago White Sox have won a game. With their victory against the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night, Pedro Grifol’s team was able to snap their 21-game losing streak and have a victorious handshake line to end one of the rougher stretches in the team’s history.
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the White Sox avoiding a new all-time record for most consecutive losses in a row, why the players on the current squad aren’t necessarily to blame for the way things have gone this season and the interesting post-game quotes coming from Grifol, Andrew Benintendi and John Brebbia.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the passing of MLB's vice-president of social responsibility and inclusion, Billy Bean, and the lasting legacy he’s left behind. In 1999, Bean was the second player to come out as gay in baseball and in his post-playing days, was named MLB’s first Ambassador for Inclusion by then-commissioner Bud Selig.
Jake and Jordan wrap up the episode by checking in on the races for the major end-of-year awards including if Paul Skenes could win the NL Cy Young award, whether Shohei Ohtani should win the MVP and if anyone will be able to overtake Aaron Judge at this point for AL MVP.
