Show Open: Evan says the Mets will not collapse, the pitching was bound to come back down to earth, but the offense will be much better and the Mets will still be competing for the NL East title come September. Plus, will Carlos Mendoza back out of his Rico Brogna podcast appearance on Saturday? And, has Tommy stopped the "No Biggie" charade?

After getting swept by the Braves, the Mets are now tied with the Phillies for the division lead, and for the Braves to be taken seriously as threat in the second half, the Braves have to win the remaining three series in June, then they will come back home to face two very beatable teams at home to start the month of July. Randy McMichael and Abe Gordon discuss the great sweep of the Mets, and the need for the Braves to keep winning before the Midsummer Classic at home.

Joe doesn't think the Pirates are that far away from a playoff spot. Don Kelly thinks the Pirates are close and played well against Chicago. If you bring in a star hitter or two, things could change for the Pirates. Ben Cherington won't do it, and we don't understand it. Austin thinks the Pirates need two bats to lengthen the lineup and one bat wouldn't be enough.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Joe doesn't think the Pirates aren't that far away from contending for a playoff spot. Don Kelly thinks the Pirates are close and played well against Chicago. If you bring in a star hitter or two, things could change for the Pirates. Austin thinks they have to acquire more than one.

Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Spencer Strider looked like he finally found his groove in Saturday's start, debate if the Braves moving Chris Sale's start back to tomorrow instead of yesterday was the Braves' kind of punting on yesterday's game, and also talk about the Braves' consistently struggling in day games and Sunday games.

Brock and Salk talked through how they liked the at bats that they watched from the Mariners against the Angels, but a lot of it reverted against the Diamondbacks. They then discuss the amount of money the Mariners have spent the last two years on players outside the organization compared to the value that they've received from them thus far. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on Jaire Alexander, a common opinion on what the Seahawks offense could be and how UW and USC have stepped up to go toe to toe with Oregon.

It looked like Major League Baseball at times but Luke Jones and Nestor couldn't ignore the obvious of the Orioles and Athletics playing three games in a minor-league stadium in Sacramento as the sport continues to devolve and lower its own bar for professionalism.

It must have been somewhat depressing or bittersweet for Buster Posey to make the decision to DFA LaMonte Wade Jr., a consistent player in this lineup that suited up with Posey for the 2021 season when they both performed well and won the NL West as teammates. Yet, it was a move they had to make. The Giants ranked last or near last in all offensive categories at first base. It also serves as a wake-up call for other players that are underperforming this year. The Giants also DFA catcher Sam Huff, which is a little puzzling considering he was the NL Pitcher of the Month's (Robbie Ray) main backstop and brought up two journeymen from Sacramento and signed another free agent journeyman. The Giants were in an incredible streak of 16 games of scoring 4 runs or less, averaging only 2 during that streak, yet their team ERA was an unbelievable 1.77, making them a competitive 7-9. The moves worked, at least for game one, as the Giants roared back from a 5-0 deficit to clip the Padres 6-5 after two heart-wrenching extra-inning losses to their southern rivals. Eric and Chad break it down and even bring in some baseball superstitions that the Giants may want to consider going forward.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

durée : 00:03:38 - Le Regard culturel - par : Lucile Commeaux - Dans un essai paru chez Verdier, l'écrivaine Laure Murat entend poser calmement des termes clairs au débat sur la réécriture des classiques.

Carl and Mike come back with more thoughts on the Braves and react to comments by Chipper Jones, who joined The Steakhouse and shared his concerns with the Braves' performance in which he believes the team is lacking competitive at bats and confidence at the plate to which the guys agree with the former Braves' All-Star.

Carl and Mike open up the show with their thoughts on the Braves 2-1 loss to the D-Backs on Wednesday, both agreeing the loss was a wasted outing for Chris Sale as he struck out 10 batters and gave up just one run through six innings pitched. As they discuss, they also agree Braves had terrible at bats with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning is completely unacceptable. 

On his weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions, including: Why on Earth isn't Bubba Chandler with the big-league club already? Are his Triple-A starts a waste of time? Are torpedo bats still a thing after they were all the rage early in the season? How will the Pirates utilize the designated hitter spot once Andrew McCutchen retires? Why is the national media so obsessed with the idea of a Paul Skenes trade? Where does the team rank in terms of its use of analytics? Noah answers these questions and more.

In hour 1, the WIP Midday Show is finding away to fix the Phillies issues at the plate, particularly the leadoff spot. Joe, Eliot Shorr-Parks (filling in for Hugh Douglas), and Kyle all believe it's time to move Bryson Stott off leadoff duties! But who should go there instead? Schwarber, Turner or should the Phillies keep Stott there? Plus, the midday show discusses if the Eagles will regret trading C.J Gardner-Johnson down the line. Also, Joe and Eliot are debating if Ace Bailey should be the Sixers pick at number 3 in the 2025 NBA Draft! As well as, picking sides on Joe DeCamara vs Jack Fritz, Mick Abel's impressive performance, what may have ran Carson Wentz out of town, Hugh's road trip and more!
