Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Bus. The boys are back from their trip to Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft. Derrik was able to show the boys around his old stomping grounds and take them to his favorite spots. JP has a lot of glowing things to say about the city and said Derrik has a bit of motion up in Pittsburgh. The guys then get into how they feel about their respective teams draft. Derrik admits that he jumped the gun a little bit on the Steelers and after thinking about it more, he likes what the team did. Mitch is more on the fence of how the Chiefs drafted and wished they got another tight end to learn behind Travis Kelce. Coop thinks the Cardinals should no longer be a franchise and they drafted terribly even though they got probably the best all around player in Jeremiyah Love. Let us know what you guys think about the draft/winners and losers from the draft. Enjoy the Friday hang with the fellas and as always, much love.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The MiLB Talk trio is back to discuss the Kristian Campbell to Worcester move. Jake gives his thoughts on Campbell's development and how they will utilize him. Derrik gets to hop on the Allan Castro hype train more. Hunter doesn't want to hear your Sandy Alcantara trade talk. They dive into the no-hitter for Portland, and get excited about the trio of promotions to the level. Yhoiker Fajardo's debut in Single-A was noteworthy, and how tantalizing is Justin Gonzales.Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

This is the MiLB Show, right? With the Rafael Devers trade, MiLB Talk discusses some big league baseball. Jake even returns early to join Derrik and Hunter to talk about the whole situation, and the craziness of the last 24 hours. You might not want to hear it, and that's fair, but the return isn't completely useless. They discuss Hunter's trip to Lehigh Valley to watch Worcester. Portland finally has some hitting, and the pitching continues to dominate. Johanfran Garcia is back and made his High-A debut, while Eduardo Rivera and Payton Tolle terrorize hitters. Austin Ehrlicher had his best professional outing in Single-A, and a few hitters show up. Do they go over three hours? Yes. Sorry.Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Michael Beller went back out to the TAFS mailbox and found another stack of great letters. On this edition of the Mailbag, Robert and Derrik answer questions on the possibility of the QB age cliff shifting (in the wrong direction), whether GMs should get a longer leash before losing their jobs, their ideal—and financially feasible—offensive lines, the new occupant of the Derek Carr Line, and much more.Hosts: Robert Mays and Derrik KlassenWith: Michael BellerExecutive Producer: Michael BellerProducer: Michael BellerSubscribe to The Athletic Football Show...AppleSpotifyYouTubeFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.socialFollow Beller on Bluesky: @mbeller.bsky.socialFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Derrik on X: @QBKlassTheme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.

The MiLB show is back as Hunter and Derrik take the episode without Jake. They have a lot to discuss, as top prospect Roman Anthony has finally gotten the call to the Major Leagues. Brian Van Belle was also promoted to Boston, and they make sure to give him some love. The duo talk about Blaze Jordan's absurd first week in Triple-A. Could he be a part of the near-future for Boston as well? Miguel Bleis is back to being a legitimate name to pay attention to. The Red Sox have the depth to make some trades, and Bleis could be part of it. This episode somehow staying under three hours is nothing short of a miracle.

MiLB Talk comes in HOT with a little venting about the Craig Breslow comments on Roman Anthony. Jake, Derrik, and Hunter talk about the new Jarren Duran trade talks with the San Diego Padres. Blaze Jordan finally got the promotion to Triple-A that he's deserved for a while. Franklin Arias might already be ready for a promotion to Double-A. Brooks Brannon continues his ridiculous tear. Jake is saying goodbye for a few weeks. We get a “Price is Right” version of Guess the Prospect. Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.
