They discuss the latest Phillies lineup changes, including Trea Turner's injury and Kyle Schwarber's move to first base. The conversation shifts to potential trade deadline targets like Byron Buxton.
I feel like I owe Oklahoma baseball an apology. They won the Atlanta regional, beating GA Tech. They swept the Super Regional, beating Kansas on their way to Omaha. OU has several African American players on their team, and two in the everyday starting nine, and yet I have not talked about them nearly enough. I feel you, OU. You get the well-deserved spotlight today. OU got a big win against Georgia last night. Georgia will now face Texas in an elimination game. Byron Buxton continues to be unreal for the Twins. Chase Burns is forging a path to the All-Star Game, and PCA hit for the cycle.

Send us Fan MailIn a series full of swings, the Minnesota Twins come away with a victory over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, taking two of three at Target Field. For the first time in a while, Byron Buxton had another star shining with him in Royce Lewis. David and Dan debate whether Royce is actually back or whether this is a blip. Dan is coming around to the ABS challenge system; David is wondering how long Justin Lawrence can possibly stay in this bullpen. They look ahead to the next couple of weeks and predict where this team will be in early July, and Dan is forced to defend two excellent pitching performances across the league.

There are a lot of Black baseball highlights to review this morning, BUT who are we kidding? Last night was all about the Knicks and their epic - historic - comeback victory in the Garden. I'm not going to lie, I was depressed by the third quarter. I was in my Knicks group chat not just talking doom for the game, but doom for the entire series. Then history happened. What a comeback. What a team! What a night! Black baseball had a big night all across MLB: James Wood & and Jordan Walker hit bombs (yes, Walker's is not in the IG highlights…I'll try to add it to Substack), Cedric Mullins, Cam Smith, Lawrence Butler, Byron Buxton, and Jazz are all in the's FYB, and more! And, how about those White Sox? They are in sole possession of first place in the AL Central. Who could have guessed?

There is a lot to talk about this morning: AUSL Opening Day was last night, and I want to know if you are following the nascent softball league. Let me know in the comments: Are you following the AUSL? Which teams and which players? Some of the most exciting players within the entire softball landscape are involved, but not ALL of them are playing the AUSL. Let me explain: There are six teams in the AUSL, two more than the inaugural 2025 season, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Professional Softball League (PSL). They feature seven teams and some of the best players in the world. The overall net result of the two leagues is that women professional softball players have opportunities like never before. In addition to the AUSL, there was a full slate of MLB games last night. Welcome to the Show, Braden Montgomery! He made a lifelong memory in Chicago. Also, big production from Jordan Walker, James Wood, Byron Buxton, Xavier Edwards, Jazz Chisholm, and more. FYB!

Byron Buxton is headed for imaging after aggravating an ongoing right shoulder issue that forced him from the lineup. Corey Pieper breaks down critical health updates, fluctuating depth charts, the daily Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical wire continues to devastate fantasy rosters as Royals rookie sensation Jac Caglianone exits early with acute right shoulder soreness following a wall collision, Tyler Glasnow shifts to the 60-day IL, and Austin Wells lands on the IL with cervical headaches. On a brighter note, fantasy managers receive immediate offensive boosts with the official activations of Wyatt Langford, Corey Seager, and Royce Lewis. Statcast data highlights immediate warning signs for Aaron Nola after a five-earned-run implosion marked by a severe drop in his curveball spin rate, while underlying metrics show immense promise for Carson Benge following a perfect five-hit explosion highlighted by an elite 108 mph maximum exit velocity profile. For the Waiver Wire, we analyze high-impact targets ready to spark your roster, evaluating the immediate priority additions of Carson Benge, Sam Antonacci, JT Ginn, and Gage Jump.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.28.2026): I see you Juan Soto, and even you can't make me hate Jalen Brunson (hahaha), even Pope Leo is a Knicks fan. Shohei did what Shohei does last night. Murakami did what Murakami does last night. Byron Buxton did what Byron Buxton does last night. Yordan Alvarez has hit four homers in two games. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was dominate against the Royals. The O's got a meaning sweep against the Rays, and the Nats won their series against the Guardians 2-1. The Rangers DFA'ed Andrew McCutchen. I hope he gets on with another team for the remainder of the season.

Chuck Garfien chats with The Athletic's Dan Hayes to break down a surprisingly competitive American League Central race and why the division may be more wide open than expected, including for the Chicago White Sox. They discuss how the Cleveland Guardians continue to win despite losing one of baseball's top closers, while the Minnesota Twins have struggled to protect leads even with strong starting pitching and one of the league's highest-scoring offenses. Chuck also lays out what the White Sox need to do to seriously contend for the division, especially in head-to-head games against Cleveland. Chuck and Dan explore why the idea of the White Sox winning the AL Central may not sound as unrealistic as people think, including comparisons between the Sox' current momentum and Cleveland's 2022 run. They revisit the memorable 15-inning Twins-Guardians game from 2022, examine why Chicago now has several “Guardian-like” players on the roster, and debate which team is best positioned to finish on top when the season ends. The episode wraps up with Dan's prediction for the eventual AL Central winner and Chuck offering some playful advice to noted Sox-killer Byron Buxton before the next White Sox-Twins series.

Is it time to pull the plug on Luis Castillo? The F6P crew debates the brutal "Rage Drop" of the week and why superstar names like Gunnar Henderson are causing a unique triple-threat paradox in fantasy circles. On this episode of The Fantasy Six Pack Hour, AJ Applegarth, Joe Bond, and Corey Pieper break down the Week 7 landscape using advanced metrics to separate the outliers from the legitimate shifts in value. In this episode, we discuss: The Gunnar Henderson Paradox: Why AJ considers him a "homer" drop while Corey views him as a premier buy-low target due to his 30-home run pace despite a sub-.200 average. Statcast Risers: How Matt Olson and Byron Buxton are overcoming cold starts to climb back into elite ranking territory. The "Rage Drop" Reality: Why Luis Castillo is being cut after a performance defined by high pitch counts and a lack of consistent results. Buy Low/Sell High: Why Brandon Nimmo's underlying metrics make him a must-acquire target, and why Randy Arozarena's shift to a high ground-ball rate is a massive red flag. Inside the Analysis: Week 7 Deep Dive The Week 7 landscape is defined by "superstar struggles." The crew dives into the perplexing case of Fernando Tatis Jr., who maintains an elite hard-hit rate but is suffering from a 2-degree launch angle, causing him to pound contact directly into the dirt. This lack of "lift" is a recurring theme for several early-round picks who are currently underperforming their expected stats. On the pitching side, the show explores the surge of Michael McGreevy and Cameron Schlittler. While McGreevy has been dominant for the Cardinals, Joe warns that maintaining his current ERA may be difficult depending on upcoming matchups. Meanwhile, Corey makes a strong case for Jesus Luzardo as a top-15 pitcher profile that is currently being undervalued because of a low left-on-base percentage rather than a lack of "stuff". Finally, the Riley Greene and Robbie Ray "Sell High" windows are examined. With Greene sporting an unsustainable .552 BABIP over the last month, the crew agrees that cashing in on his current .325 average is the optimal move before regression hits.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.6.2026): Byron Buxton has been named AL Player of the Week. Last week, Buxton hit 345 with 5 home runs and 7 RBIs.

The Phils are 7-1 under new manager Donnie Baseball, and are now tied with the Nats and Marlins for second in the NL East. Follow for more—DM BBM for merch information.
