Show Notes
The guys revisit the ongoing Chick-fil-A nuggets promotion confusion after the Orlando Magic missed two fourth-quarter free throws against the Miami Heat on Saturday, triggering the free 8-count nuggets reward for fans. This comes after Friday’s debate where fans expected double nuggets from separate promotions but only saw one reward appear in the app. The conversation circles back to the dramatic World Baseball Classic semifinal between the United States national baseball team and the Dominican Republic national baseball team, including the controversial strike three call that ended the game. Jamie argues the controversy is another reason baseball should move toward robot umpires to call balls and strikes, while the crew continues their deep dive into the nugget promotion mix-up.
