E14: The Terminator
Zach Linfield hosts Episode 14 with one guest, Michael Altman. Altman has played for Coach Pointer before and channeled the role of closer. At 6’6, he brings a mad intimidation factor to the mound in the 9th. If his role ends up being the closer for the Huskies, I wouldn’t want to step up to the plate in the 9th trailing by a few runs.
