Limited Range, Ep. 24: Enjoying the Moment

limited range podcastYou can listen below to the latest episode of BP’s Limited Range podcast, featuring me and Sahadev Sharma, you can get the RSS feed here, or you can subscribe on iTunes. Seriously: subscribe in iTunes or plug in that RSS feed to your favorite pod catcher – that’s the best way to ensure you get the episodes as soon as we publish them.

Brett and Sahadev talk about Jake Arrieta owning Sahadev (after owning the Pirates), Schwarber stepping up in the moment, and give their views of two different celebrations. Now it’s time for these young Cubs to head to St. Louis for the NLDS. Who has the advantage? On paper, it’s the Cubs, but as our listeners know, it’s all a crapshoot. Win or lose, if there’s one piece of advice the guys want to pass on, it’s to enjoy these moments. You never know when you’d get to experience it again.

Enjoy:
