Today's word of the day is ‘simulated' as in simulated games as in Shohei Ohtani as in pitching as in Dodgers as in rehab assignments as in bullpen sessions. Let's cover everything about injuries and returns to play. We start with the Dodgers and their trio of big name arms: Ohtani, Snell, Glasnow. (17:30) Let's break down the rest of the Dodgers pitchers now, and some other big names in the league. Sean Manaea and Giancarlo Stanton had rehab assignments last night. (33:30) Review: Sinners. (38:00) The Phillies are not doing great right now. Injuries happen. But the bullpen isn't good. The team is struggling. (45:00) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Nats suffered maybe their worst loss of the season on Tuesday night in the series opener at the Mets. Al & Tim recap the 5-4 loss in extra innings, where the Nationals could not hold onto a two-run 8th inning lead. Jose A. Ferrar allowed a pair of runs to tie the game and ultimately Jeff McNeil ended the affair with a RBI single to leadoff the bottom of the 10th.(08:50) MacKenzie Gore struck out six Mets in as many innings of work on 89 pitches. Gore regained the lead for the most strikeouts in all of MLB from Garrett Crochet with 114 during the outing. Gore gave up a HR to Juan Soto and there seemed to be words exchanged between the two players who were once traded for each other.(18:35) The offense showed up early to lead 3-0 entering the middle of the 2nd. CJ Abrams had a big game by doubling twice and connecting on a solo HR to put Washington on top 4-2 in the 5th.(20:00) One of Abrams' double brought in a run, but the moment ended with Jose Tena getting thrown at home. Tena should not have been sent by Ricky Gutierrez with James Wood was waiting on-deck with two outs.(22:45) Andres Chapparo had a pinch -hit double in his 1st Big League at-bat of the season. Tim expresses his frustration though that Chapparo took Nasim Nuñez's roster spot as opposed to Brady House.

HR3 - Raisel Iglesias' being unreliable has thrown Braves' entire bullpen out of whack
Mark Zinno, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue the final hour by spending some time with 92.9 The Game's own Braves insider and reporter, Grant McAuley! Beau, Mark, Ali, and Grant discuss how long and hard that flight was for the Braves yesterday when they left for San Francisco after their embarrassing 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks, how the backend of the Braves bullpen will look like moving forward with Craig Kimbrel being called up, Raisel Iglesias struggling, Daysbel Hernandez being on the IL, Scott Blewett being DFA'd, and Dylan Dodd recalled, if Grant expects Brian Snitker to be fired, why Grant thinks Raisel Iglesias has struggled this season, when Grant expects Spencer Strider to look like Spencer Strider again, the Braves needing guys to replace the innings that they lost in Max Fried and Charlie Morton, and Brian Snitker's only regret from yesterday might be pulling Grant Holmes too soon.

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris discussed the Cubs bullpen's strong performance recently.
Hour 2: Spike and Fritz continue to discuss the Phillies roster issues and how they need to add multiple bullpen arms at the trade deadline.
The 94 WIP Morning team breaks down the current pitching situation. It looks like the Phils are going to need bullpen help as the season goes on. Which starter will move to the pen? Will it be Ranger Suarez? Will Mick Abel and Andrew Painter go to the pen when they come up? Is Tijuan Walker good enough to be a reliever in high-leverage situations in October?
Andrew McCutchen ties Roberto Clemente on the all-time Pirates hits list—but the celebration doesn't last long as the bullpen coughs up a late lead in a frustrating 6-4 loss to the Padres. We break down the highs (Cutch's milestone, solid starts from Cruz and Heaney) and the lows (Rainey's implosion, more questionable managing), plus how this bullpen could actually be better today. Watch the full breakdown and let us know what you would've done differently in the 8th inning.
The Pirates want Carmen Mlodzinski to be a starter, but Dan proposes that they need to use him in a bullpen role for the time being. The bullpen fell apart with the lead Sunday and cost the Pirates the series in San Diego. Would you trade Bubba Chandler for Roman Anthony? Dan thinks Anthony is a bigger risk and unproven compared to Chandler and what he's proven.
Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Pirates want Carmen Mlodzinski to be a starter, but Dan Zangrilli proposes that they need to use him in a bullpen role for the time being. Would you trade Bubba Chandler for Roman Anthony? Gerry Dulac is reporting the Steelers have had contract discussions with T.J. Watt, but stumbling blocks remain. Dulac is reporting he thinks the Steelers will get a deal done with Watt, but is going to need a lot of work.

Again, that’s businessmakers.network. (https://businessmakers.network/) Well, as our journalist Justin Chartrey reported, Washington state is in for some trouble right now because their governor, Bob Ferguson, just allowed more taxes to be passed in the state. And if this wasn’t bad enough already, these look like they will be some of the largest tax increases in the state’s history. According to our reporter, Justin Chartrey, the bills that were passed will increase the state budget. "The budget, expected to increase an additional $12 billion over the budget from two years ago ...Washington’s Congress operates on two-year budget cycles..., also adds more than $9 billion in new/updated taxes." Specifically, there are three big areas that these taxes are hitting: house prices, gas prices, and small business taxes. For houses, these taxes will increase the cap of 1 percent to at least 3 percent on the annual property tax. This might sound familiar because I covered this particular tax a few weeks ago, but basically it will make housing taxes fluctuate worse by taking away specific limitations. For example, these taxes will partly depend on population growth, which as everyone knows, can change. Secondly, the gas price is going to rise six cents. This one might not sound as bad as the others, but since gas prices in Washington state are already more expensive than most other states, this tax doesn’t really help the state move in the right direction. Finally, there are a few new taxes that will make it much harder to maintain a small business. It’s already hard enough to make money in a small business, and the last thing that these small business owners need is to have more taxes breathing down the back of their necks. And did you know that even Tesla owners are impacted by other new taxes? Check out the full article on crosspoliticnews for more information on these new tax laws in Washington state. (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/governor-signs-off-on-tax-hikes) Meanwhile, our journalist Justin Chartrey also wrote an article about baseball bans and Pete Rose. Pete Rose, nicknamed Charlie Hustle, had been permanently banned from the game of baseball in 1989. He has the all-time hit record, and he played for 24 years, but since Rose would bet money on baseball games, he was prohibited from playing the sport and banned from any possibility of entering the hall of fame. Mark Dewey, the podcast host of In the Bullpen and a former major league pitcher, said that, “I vaguely remember all of us kind of looking at each other, thinking, this is unbelievable. But I don't think any of us had any concept of, ‘Oh, this doesn't mean he gets in the Hall of Fame’. I think it was simply we knew he could not work in the game of baseball, and especially for a guy like Pete Rose. I mean it truly was sad. It truly was his life.” (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/baseball-permanent-bans-and-integrity) And yet Pete Rose was also banned from the hall of fame. At least, he had been banned until now because, even though he has passed away, his ban was just recently lifted. Now, there is a possibility again that he can re-enter the hall of fame. Of course, this raises many questions. Should we lift the ban only after a player has passed away? Is that just? How should we judge whether someone should make it into the hall of fame?

The Fantasy Baseball BeatBullpen Bonanza The Fantasy Baseball Beat is back with a bullpen-heavy episode. Every team's bullpen is discussed with analysis, insight, and tips on how to manage the most difficult position to project. Topics discussed:How each team attacks the closer positionThe difference between listening to the manager's words as opposed to watching what the manager doesHigh-leverage situations versus full-fledged closersClosers-by-committeesIndividual stats that stand outHow contracts can dictate opportunitiesAfter that, we have the Mental Health Moment, where the idea of taking a moment and pressing the pause button can be a valuable practice before we go on the attack. How important is it to take stock of a situation, process what happened, and then make an informed decision based on facts and not just raw emotions?
