The Sam and Brad Show Podcast 07/11/19
On this Three Question Thursday edition of The Sam and Brad Show, the guys talk with Corbin Bernsen (you may know him better as Indians third baseman Roger Dorn) about the 30th anniversary of "Major League" (00:23). The guys also wonder if the return of Danny Salazar will impact the Tribe at the trade deadline (19:16).
Salazar Makes World Series Roster
Tuesday is the day: Game 1 of the World Series in Cleveland featuring the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs at Progressive Field.
As any Indians fan can tell you, the team has seen its share of injuries, especially in the later part of the season. One of those injuries was starting pitcher Danny Salazar. He hasn't pitched for the Tribe since leaving the game back on September 9th against the Minnesota Twins with a strained right forearm.
On Tuesday, ahead of the start of the World Series, the Indians released their official World Series roster. The good news; it included Right-Handed Pitcher Danny Salazar. To make room for Salazar, the Indians removed RHP Cody Anderson from the WS roster. Over the past weekend, Indians Manager Terry Francona said his starting pitching rotation for the World Series is "to be announced" following Game 3. Corey Kluber gets the start in Game 1 Tuesday, and Games 2 and 3 are to be decided between Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin. Francona said, of Bauer who is healing from a finger injury that left him an early-exit in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays, he wants to give Bauer as much time as possible.
The official World Series roster for the Cleveland Indians is below:

AUDIO Danny Salazar Ready To Roll
One of the Cleveland Indians' starting pitchers is ready to take his talents to the next level and continue to contribute every fifth day.
Danny Salazar joined our own Sam Bourquin out in Goodyear, Arizona as part of Wahoo Week on 1590 WAKR, and Danny says he's anxious for the season to get started.
"The more we play here (in Arizona), the more ready we get for the season," he says.
Salazar says he's been working hard in the offseason, working on his fastball a little bit, which he says is his best pitch.
"It doesn't matter how hard you throw," Danny says. "If you can learn to locate that fastball, that's the key to a successful career."
Danny says his favorite part about being in the big leagues is enjoying time with his teammates and coming to the ballpark and competing.
