Podcast appearances and mentions of Francisco Lindor

Kyle Tucker was in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 15, playing in an unforgettable MLB All-Star Game. Just over a month later, Tucker finds himself headed to the bench amidst a cacophony of boos. The All-Star has not been putting up All-Star type numbers. He has been hitting a dismal .160 average in August and has not hit a home run since July 19. Tucker hopes to hit a reset and figure a way out of the slump from the dugout as the Cubs, who currently lead the NL Wild Card race, look to make a push for the postseason. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the lead-up to this benching and how Tucker and the Cubs can figure out a way forward. “I've never seen anything like this from a Brewers team” is a strong statement, especially coming from Milwaukee Brewers and Turner Sports broadcaster, Brian Anderson. Anderson joins the show and chats with Jake and Jordan about the magical season the Brewers are having thus far. What is it about this team that makes them different from everyone else? Anderson talks about what he is seeing out of Brewers' manager Pat Murphy and how he has seen him change over time. The three also discuss Brewers' associate manager Ricky Weeks and how vital he is to the team's success. Finally, they discuss Christian Yelich and the leadership role he now plays in the clubhouse.Later on in the show, the guys fill you in on what is happening Around The League.

Evan Roberts dissects a brutal Sunday loss for the Mets, focusing on a series of critical errors and questionable managerial decisions. He highlights Francisco Lindor's disastrous performance, including a crucial error and multiple failures in key offensive situations, and contrast it with the high expectations set by his previous year's performance. The conversation then shifts to the bullpen's collapse, particularly the ineffective outing by Frankie Montas and the ill-advised use of Ryne Stanek in a high-leverage situation. The hosts argue that manager Mendy's strategy of using an opener and then relying on an already-strained bullpen led directly to the loss, proposing a more aggressive alternative using their top relievers. He concludes by lamenting the Mets' inability to score late in games, calling their offense "heartless and gutless."

Sal reiterated his belief in the team's core of Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Pete Alonso, stating that they will eventually get things turned around.
