Send us Fan MailThis week on We Need 2 Talk, we're kicking off the weekend with cocktails, opinions, and A LOT to talk about.
Back in 1988, CBS gave us Garfield: His 9 Lives, an anthology special where our favorite lasagna enthusiast got to be a caveman, a pampered Egyptian god-cat, and an honest-to-goodness astronaut fending off an interstellar war fleet. Ambitious! Mythic, even! Then in 2006, Lucky Jump Games and The Game Factory looked at that legacy, borrowed the exact same title for a Game Boy Advance platformer, and said: actually, what if his nine lives were a farm, a haunted house, a circus, a sewer, a tree, an alley, an obedience school, and a lab? No pyramids. No space combat. Just Garfield, freshly stuffed from an eating binge, suffering eight increasingly damp nightmares about locations you could reach on foot from his own kitchen. Climbing out of Garfield's nightmare to help us survey the damage is Derek B Gayle, who hosts or co-hosts what feels like an ever-multiplying stable of shows including Walloping Websnappers, Gimmicks, Skreeonk!, and, at this point, so many other podcasts that keeping an accurate list may violate several laws of podcast physics. If Garfield hates Mondays, Derek looked at that same feeling and apparently decided the correct response was to start four more podcasts to fill the time. So raid the fridge, settle in for a night you won't remember fondly, and let's find out if Garfield and His Nine Lives earned its spot next to the caveman, the pharaoh, and the astronaut, or if it should've stayed exactly the kind of dream you forget the second your alarm goes off. Learn such things as: Are names of things even really that important? Why would you ever try to save your mortal enemy? Can you be surprised by anything, or anyone, that Garfield runs across? And so much more! You can find Derek @DerekBGayle on Bluesky, Instagram, and other social media platforms that may or may not exist when this was posted, hear him on other podcasts on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective such as Gimmicks, Walloping Websnappers, Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, Skreeonk!, and Falling with Style.

On this week's episode, the girls tackle Hunter's most controversial take yet: is it a channel changer, a clicker, or a remote? They're adamant there's only one right answer, and apparently their husbands have no choice but to marry into it. Hunter recaps back to school shopping with the kids, including her son buying his first cologne! She also engages with a nasty comment from a guy who works at a place where she was once plastered on the side of a bus. Plus, Michaela reveals the best movie she's ever seen…and no, somehow it's not Garfield 2? Follow us!

The Rizzuto Show has been waiting since January for the moment humanity would supposedly lose gravity for eight glorious seconds, and now the big day has arrived. Do we float? Do we fly? Do we immediately jump out a window based on something we heard on the internet? Thankfully, only one of those ideas gets discussed with any enthusiasm.Episode 26 kicks off with the crew preparing for the alleged gravity event and quickly asking the much more important question: where is the gravity cult? Because if the internet promises a supernatural event, somebody somewhere has probably already purchased matching tracksuits and appointed himself Supreme Gravity Commander. Thus, the Gravitonians are born, Idaho and Arkansas get dragged into the investigation, and a completely reasonable conversation becomes exactly the kind of funny podcast chaos you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.From there, somehow, things get even stranger.The conversation tumbles into Heaven's Gate, Jonestown, Marshall Applewhite, Nike Decades, purple shrouds, Flavor Aid getting absolutely robbed of its historical brand recognition, and the crew trying to remember which unsettling cult detail belongs to which unsettling cult. This is less of a history lesson and more four people opening the same mental junk drawer at once. Eventually the crew becomes especially fascinated by Heaven's Gate's sneaker selection, because apparently even impending extraterrestrial departure requires a respectable shoe game.Then somebody wisely decides it's time to stop talking about cults and play trivia.This turns out to be only marginally safer.The Rizz Quiz returns with contestants getting 45 seconds to answer as many questions as possible—but one wrong answer immediately ends the run. No passing. No mercy. No blaming the educational system afterward. Questions cover everything from Roman numerals and the Grand Canyon to Nutella, Winnie the Pooh, human anatomy, Peter Pan, baseball, Garfield and the horrifying mathematics of nickels.Chris starts things off before the Colorado River causes problems. Diego gets ambushed by the number of years in a century. Brad suddenly turns into the final boss with a seven-answer run featuring hazelnuts, Rhode Island, Africa, Piglet, club sandwiches and Canada. Jared tries to chase him down until the “white part of an egg” becomes an intellectual brick wall.Then Round Two arrives.Brando tears through Jefferson City, football fields, Cookie Monster and Dr Pepper before the human skeleton ruins his streak. Cameron learns that lions have a pride, not a pack. Aaron encounters a fairy named “Tinder Bell,” which frankly deserves its own dating app. Finally, Brian gets Garfield's least-favorite day correct before informing all of St. Louis that there are 50 nickels in a dollar.There are 20.We checked.Probably twice after this episode.It's another funny podcast packed with daily humor, sarcastic commentary, weird stories, St. Louis radio chaos and the beautiful sound of confident people discovering they are confidently incorrect. If you enjoy comedy podcasts where celebrity gossip and weird news can suddenly give way to a serious debate over cult sneakers and elementary-school trivia, welcome home. Expectations were already low, and somehow we found a basement.Come for the eight seconds without gravity. Stay for the contestants losing their grip on arithmetic.This funny podcast episode proves once again that The Rizzuto Show can turn a ridiculous internet claim, an uncomfortable history detour and a handful of trivia questions into a complete collapse of civilized morning radio.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Out of respect for Garfield we are not releasing this episode on our usual Mondays, and it certainly has nothing to do with us being behind on our editing schedule. The GBGBs press further into the cat season with a review of Garfield (2004). This may be the most high profile cat we have discussed on this show and we hope we can do our lasagna-loving feline justice. Garfield stars Bill Murray as the titular cat who lives happily in a house with Jon Arbuckle (played by Breckin Meyer) until Jon brings home a new dog, Odie (played by several real-life dogs). When Odie goes missing, Garfield teams up with Jon and Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to bring his new buddy home! Also discussed: Garfield manga, Garfield's voice, Summer 2004 Box Office Game
When Doctors Become Caregivers: Supporting Carers, Community Health, and the Limits of Quick Fixes On the Health Design Podcast, Moyez Jiwa speaks with physician Tyson Garfield about how his perspective on patient experience shifted after his partner was diagnosed with a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor, underwent radical surgery, and faced a prolonged recovery that felt fractured despite good surgical care. Tyson describes the emotional labor, uncertainty before pathology, and using the AI tool OpenEvidence, as well as the need for caregiver support through primary care access and “the village,” noting the healthcare system funds individuals but not unpaid carers. They discuss rural and urban aging challenges including transport dependence, food deserts, limited internet, clinician retention, and fragmented community ties, and highlight community-focused care models like PACE and the importance of social workers. They also debate rising demand for semaglutides/GLP-1s, concerns about long-term effects such as sarcopenia, and the need for clinicians to be more vocal advocates for healthy aging and evidence-based information. 00:00 Welcome Back Tyson 00:39 Partner Diagnosis Shock 03:55 Recovery Gaps Exposed 05:09 Emotional Labor Uncertainty 09:13 Caregiver Needs Support 10:51 Supporting the Carers 12:04 Why Village Unfunded 15:14 Rural Aging Tasmania 19:48 Building Rural Care Models 22:09 Keeping Doctors Rural 26:28 Urban Isolation Caregivers 30:33 Sharing Info Legal Risks 32:56 Ethics What Matters Most 34:51 Social Drivers Physician Role 37:46 Food Deserts GLP1 Debate 42:13 Advocacy Against Quick Fixes 45:06 Closing Thanks Farewell

Sir Garfield Sobers who passed away at the age of 89 was undoubtedly the world's finest all round cricketer West Indies commentator Fazeer Mohammed talks to Dean du Plessis, and pays tribute to the world's best allrounder
The death of arguably the greatest all-rounder who ever lived - Sir Garfield Sobers - was announced today. Simon Hughes pays tribute to an incredible player and a remarkable man with two men from Barbados who knew him well - former Middlesex and England batsman Roland Butcher and former Worcestershire and Middlesex fast bowler Ricky Ellcock. They all grew up inspited by Sobers and have vivid memories of first seeing him on a cricket field and then getting to know him in later life. Sobers was the King of West Indies cricket. He may have passed away but he will live on people's memories for ever. He is immortal. Both Butcher and Ellcock have recently written fascinating books about their lives in cricket and growing up in Barbados when Sobers was still playing.

Send us Fan MailDeath can be one of the clearest teachers we have—but only if we stop treating it like a distant problem.In this episode, I'm joined by ritualist and death educator Shaina Garfield, founder of Leaves With You and one of the co-facilitators of the Beyond the Veil Retreat, to talk about green burial, grief, and the surprisingly life-giving practice of planning a sacred return to Earth.We begin with Shaina's nonlinear path into this work: being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in college, discovering holistic healing, and following a design question that led her to create her first macrame coffin. Shaina shares why handweaving a biodegradable coffin can become so much more than an environmentally conscious funeral option—it can be a communal ritual in which every knot holds prayers, beauty, love, and memory.From there, we explore Shaina's deeply personal essay, The Return to My Earth, and the moment she realized that healing was not about transcending or escaping her body. It was about coming home to it.We talk about letting go of the lives we thought we would have, learning to hold gratitude and longing at the same time, and recognizing when the search for healing becomes another way of searching for something wrong with us.Shaina shares how plant medicine ceremony has served as a form of threshold training, why the real ceremony begins after the ceremony, and why integration and physical action matter more than continually chasing the next cure, treatment, or spiritual breakthrough. She also offers guidance for anyone curious about connecting with guides, ritual, and the unseen—even if plant medicine is not part of their path.And because this is the Ode to Joy podcast, we make space for the joy woven through it all: dance breaks, trees, water, gardens, laughter, daily acts of offering, and the practices that help us stay openhearted while living with pain and uncertainty.If you are curious about death-positive living, end-of-life planning, ritual, chronic illness, green burial, or what it means to return fully to your body and the Earth, this conversation offers both grounding and permission.Subscribe to the podcast, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Three Shaina Truths1. The equation of becoming requires both giving away and receiving.Whenever we cross a threshold and become a new version of ourselves, something must be released. Letting go creates the space into which the next chapter can arrive.2. Medicine is not necessarily a cure—it can be a key.No teacher, ceremony, treatment, or spiritual practice can walk the path for us. The key may open something, but we are still responsible for building the door, walking through it, and integrating what we have learned into our everyday lives.3. Our death can become our final offering to the Earth.Preparing for our sacred return is not only about deciding what happens after we die. It asks us to consider what we are cultivating within our bodies, our relationships, and our lives right now.Standout Quotes from Shaina“It's important to witness what is witnessing you, because what we're seeking is also seeking us.”“The equation of becoming means having to give away in order to receive.”“The ceremony is great, but it's really the integration and the action that make it real.”“Plant medicine is not a cure—it's a key. I'm the one who has to build the door and walk through it.”“Death is a key to experiencing more joy.”“We're looking at our death only to inform our life here today.”“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.” —Friedrich NietzscheJournaling PromptsWhat am I being invited to give away so that I can receive what is trying to enter my life?Where has my desire to heal, grow, or improve quietly become a search for something wrong with me?What would it mean for me to return to my Earth—to my body, my needs, my limits, and the physical reality of my life?If I knew I were going to die tomorrow, what would feel complete—and what would I wish I had tended to more lovingly?How might I treat one ordinary act today—washing the dishes, preparing food, walking outside, or caring for my body—as an offering?What expectations about my life, my body, or the person I thought I would become am I ready to grieve and release?What would my own sacred return to Earth look and feel like? What does imagining it teach me about how I want to live now?Where is life already inviting me into the dance—and what keeps me from joining it?Resources MentionedShaina Garfield and Leaves With YouRead Shaina's essay, The Return to My EarthFollow Leaves With You on InstagramLearn more about the Beyond the Veil RetreatExplore green burial and environmentally conscious end-of-life options in your local areaIn This EpisodeChronic illness as an initiation into healing, death work, and the EarthShaina's journey from industrial designer to ritualist and death educatorCreating biodegradable macrame coffinsWeaving prayers, memories, and love into a burial vesselReturning to the body after years of spiritual explorationWhen the healing journey becomes another form of self-rejectionHolding gratitude for the present while maintaining a vision for the futureThe equation of becomingLife as a series of thresholdsPlant medicine, responsibility, lineage, and discernmentWhy integration matters more than chasing spiritual experiencesConnecting with guides and the unseenLearning to live with death rather than treating it as a distant problemDance as prayer, embodiment, and connection to creationGreen burial as a physical and spiritual offeringUsing death to inform how we live todayShaina's offering at Beyond the VeilConnect with ShainaShaina Garfield is a ritualist, death educator, designer, and founder of Leaves With You.

Read transcriptIn 1986, King Features looked at its stable of unrelated newspaper strip heroes and decided the responsible thing to do was throw them all in a blender. Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and the Phantom. A spaceman, a stage hypnotist, and a guy who lives in a skull-shaped cave and inherited his job from his dad got drafted into a single Saturday morning cartoon called Defenders of the Earth on the apparent theory that if the Avengers could do a team-up, so could three guys who had never met before that year and shared nothing except a syndicate contract. Then, because nothing from the '80s was allowed to stay just a cartoon, Defenders of the Earth became a video game in 1990, courtesy of Enigma Variations, for the exact kind of home computer that made you type a magic incantation and wait: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga, and, for the three people on Earth who owned one, the SAM Coupé. You play Flash, sneaking through Ming's castle dodging security cameras, occasionally calling in Mandrake or the Phantom to open doors, because apparently that's what magic and jungle-honed strength were for in these days. Helping make sense of this glorious pile of licensed heroes is Ryan Estrada, who's written comics for Star Trek, Popeye, Garfield, and, fittingly, Flash Gordon itself, having contributed to Papercutz's newer Flash Gordon Adventures line. Ryan's also built a reputation for tucking real hidden puzzles and messages directly into his comic pages, in plain sight, daring anyone paying close enough attention to find them. Which feels like exactly the right skillset for an episode about a security system that apparently only a few specific comic strip disciplines can defeat. So track down a joystick you no longer own, adjust to a universe where Flash Gordon answers to a management structure that includes a professional hypnotist, and let's find out whether the Defenders of the Earth earned their game, or whether Earth would've been just fine handling Ming on its own. Learn such things as: Is it really a team game if you only get to play as one member? Why should you learn another language that uses a different alphabet? What are some of the special rules with making licenses comics? And so much more! You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com.

Set sail with the stars of The Sea Wolf, the adaptation of Jack London's adventure novel that stars Edward G. Robinson as a tyrannical captain. His co-stars in the movie include Ida Lupino and John Garfield, and we'll hear all three of them in radio thrillers from Suspense: Mr. Garfield in "Reprieve" (AFRS rebroadcast from May 10, 1945); Ms. Lupino in "Summer Night" (originally aired on CBS on July 15, 1948); and Mr. Robinson in "You Can't Die Twice" (originally aired on CBS on March 31, 1949). Plus, Robinson recreates his film role on Screen Directors' Playhouse (originally aired on CBS on February 3, 1950).
This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Food Crimes Correspondent Giovanni Colantonio (@marioprime) explore the many borderline-cursed ways humans prepare and eat eggs! We crack into deviled eggs, poached eggs, big ol' wet eggs on sandwiches, scotch eggs, century eggs, balut, and more! Are pre-peeled hardboiled eggs in a bag a crime? What makes a crime a crime anyway? Are some crimes more forgivable than others? Is Sheldon from Garfield & Friends a crime against nature or a delicious treat waiting to happen? And, what happens when we throw Octopus, Peaches, and Pork Rinds into the Random Meal Generator?

Garfield has spent I don't want to think about how long being terrified for our entertainment, and somehow this is only the second time we've noticed. Today we're looking at two occasions Jim Davis's laziest creation got shoved into a horror plot he absolutely did not sign up for: Garfield's Nightmare on the Nintendo DS and Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt, the Flash game that lived on Garfield.com back when “Flash game that lived on a dot-com” was still a sentence people said out loud. Helping us make sense of not one but two instances of “cat, but afraid” is Dee Parson from Supr Dee, the syndicated cartoonist behind Rosebuds. A guy who, by his own account, actually learned to read on Garfield comics, which means this episode is less “guest booking” and more “the student returns to grade the source material's video game output.” So lock the pantry, keep an eye on the Scare-O-Meter, and let's find out if either of these games earned the right to scare a cat who once ate an entire sandwich made of other sandwiches. Learn such things as: What horrible real world things can Garfield save us from? Is there anything scarier than having to face your own existence and mortality? Can lasagna solve all of the world's problems? And so much more! You can find the guest on Instagram @Suprdee2 and his website Supr Dee.

William E Simon was a bond trader-turned US cabinet secretary under President Richard Nixon. He was also abrasive, polarising and the “father of private equity”, according to Hettie O'Brien, author of The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself. She tells hosts Gillian Tett and Robin Wigglesworth how Simon orchestrated a deal that was so revolutionary, and so lucrative, that it kickstarted the leveraged buyout trend of the 1980s, which later gave way to the modern private equity industry. But how did we get from that one deal to a sector that's now one of the largest alternative asset classes in the world? And if he was alive today, what would Simon think of the industry he helped create?

RUNDOWN Frustrated by another Mariners series loss, Mitch argues that Dan Wilson's quick hook of Emerson Hancock in Cleveland set off the bullpen dominoes that ultimately cost Seattle the game. He and Hotshot Scott debate whether the manager deserves the blame, discuss why the season isn't lost despite the club slipping under .500, and preview an episode packed with Mariners prospect talk, World Cup excitement, and another edition of Release Date trivia. The Mariners' ugly loss in Cleveland sparks a spirited debate over Dan Wilson's bullpen management, whether Emerson Hancock should have finished the sixth inning, and if Seattle is putting itself in impossible situations with its pitching decisions. Mitch, Brady, and Joe also dissect the confusing six-man rotation strategy, discuss whether Emerson Hancock belongs in the bullpen, evaluate internal reinforcements like Ryan Sloan and Patrick Wisdom, preview the upcoming Angels and Blue Jays series, and make their weekly "Out on a Limb" predictions. MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis joins Mitch to break down another loaded Mariners farm system, offering updates on Colt Emerson's development, Felin Celesten's breakout season, and why Seattle continues to boast one of baseball's deepest prospect pipelines. The conversation also dives into Kade Anderson's rapid rise, Ryan Sloan's ace potential, the upcoming MLB Draft, and how the Mariners could eventually use their prospect depth to chase a World Series. Mitch and Jason Puckett spend another episode doing what they do best—arguing over the Mariners, poking fun at each other's broadcasting habits, and turning small disagreements into entertaining debates. They also dive into Puck's upcoming trip to Spain, the Running of the Bulls, World Cup excitement, and the polarizing reaction to U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark. GUESTS Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jim Callis | Senior Writer for MLB Pipeline Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions, the Mariners' latest collapse, World Cup fever arriving in Seattle, and another entertaining round of Release Date trivia headline the opening segment of Episode 388. 26:50 | Mariners No-Table: Dan Wilson's latest bullpen decisions, the Mariners' muddled pitching plans, growing calls for rotation changes, and another round of "Out on a Limb" predictions fuel this week's Mariners No Table discussion. 1:00:04 | Jim Callis: Callis explains why the Mariners' farm system remains among baseball's best, evaluates Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan's futures, and previews another pivotal MLB Draft for Seattle. 1:21:52 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Jason Puckett trade playful jabs over the Mariners, preview Puck's Spain adventure, debate the Running of the Bulls, and discuss the golf world's complicated relationship with Wyndham Clark. 1:40:16 | Other Stuff: Justin Bieber at the NHL Draft, Mitch's Justin Bieber karaoke encounter, Phil Mickelson controversy, Buffalo Bills leaving O.J.

"No, let's not do Garfield" we said. "It would be too obvious" we said. "I know, let's do the 1963 avant-garde Czech New Wave film, The Cassandra Cat" said one of us. "But that one isn't even available on streaming, it's literally just on Youtube. I don't think anyone has seen this!" said another. Despite this, the GBGBs have decided that the best course of action is to review this obscure Czech film about a cat who wears sunglasses. For the uninitiated, this movie is about an unappreciated school teacher named Robert who lives in a small town in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia. A circus comes into town and brings a mysterious acrobat and her bespectacled cat, Mokol, who possesses the power to make people literally change color based on their true nature when his sunglasses are removed. Chaos ensues and it is up to Robert and the schoolchildren to protect the cat from those who wish their true nature to be kept secret. Thanks for stopping by!
Read transcriptSuperman Returns came out in 2006 and asked audiences a very sincere question: what if Superman, but sad? Brandon Routh brooded his way across the big screen, lifting improbable objects and pining for Lois Lane, and somewhere in a boardroom, someone decided this emotionally complex theatrical event needed to be a video game on four different platforms. Five if you count the Game Boy Advance version, which is technically a different game but we're counting it anyway because we paid good money decided that we just needed to talk about it. The PS2 and Xbox versions let you fly around Metropolis, absorbing explosions with your face in service of a health bar that belonged to the city rather than Superman himself, which is either a genuinely clever design idea or the most passive-aggressive mechanic in superhero gaming history. The Xbox 360 version turned the whole thing into an open-world showcase for what next-gen hardware could do, which in 2006 meant “look at those buildings.” The DS version was a side-scrolling beat-em-up. The GBA version was something else entirely. Superman Returns contained multitudes, is what we're saying. Joining me to dig through the whole sprawling, melancholy, city-defending mess is Adam Williamson, real-life friend, frequent Play Comics guest, and owner of a podcast idea that has been marinating for what I can only describe as a concerning length of time. Adam, I say this with love: at some point you're going to have to actually make the thing. In the meantime, he's here, the knowledge is flowing, and we've got a Superman game across half a console generation to get through. So settle in, try not to let the city's health bar drop to zero, and let's find out whether Superman Returns deserved better — from Hollywood, from the games industry, and honestly, maybe from all of us. Learn such things as: Did we finally crack the secret on how to make a good Superman game buried somewhere deep inside this one? Are real estate moguls the true evil in today's society? Are you a deadbeat dad if nobody besides you knows that you're the father? And so much more! You can find Adam on BlueSky @effectnotaffect and absolutely nowhere else except for on Play Comics where he writes comic reviews and appears on other episodes.

RUNDOWN After 16 days across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Florence, Mitch returns home exhausted, overfed, broke, and surprisingly fond of Berlin. He and Hotshot Scott break down the trip, from ranking Europe's biggest cities and comparing food cultures to discussing sightseeing fatigue, Segway tours, horseback riding in Tuscany, and the realization that his sons viewed the entire vacation very differently than he did. Fresh off his European adventure, Mitch quickly pivots back to the Mariners and a pitching situation that suddenly looks very different than it did a month ago. With the piggyback experiment shelved for now, the focus turns to Bryce Miller's dominant return to form, Luis Castillo's resurgence after being challenged, and whether Seattle's six-man rotation creates more opportunities than problems. The Mariners' series loss in Detroit quickly turns into a deeper conversation about Andrés Muñoz, whose recent struggles have Brady and Joe (Mariners No-Table) debating whether Seattle can continue treating him as an automatic ninth-inning option. The trio examines bullpen management, the challenges created by the six-man rotation, potential closer alternatives, and whether the trade deadline could force Jerry Dipoto to look for outside relief help. Steve Phillips hasn't jumped off the Mariners bandwagon despite an uneven first two months. He explains why Seattle's pitching depth, second-half track record, and a weak American League still make them a legitimate World Series contender, while also addressing growing concerns about Andrés Muñoz and potential bullpen fixes before the trade deadline.
