Welcome to Episode 86 of Tablesetters, where Devin and Steve return to unpack a week that offered a little bit of everything: momentum shifts, breakout performances, and the early rumblings of trade season. The Detroit Tigers have become the first team to 40 wins this year. It's not a mirage. The offense is firing on all cylinders, the rotation has a clear leader, and the numbers back it all up. Kerry Carpenter, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene are rewriting the franchise's history books, and for the first time in years, the question isn't “what's the ceiling?”—it's “how far can this team go?” Meanwhile, the most-watched Sunday Night Baseball in seven years drew 2.7 million viewers for Dodgers-Yankees, a clear reminder that when baseball is presented the right way, fans show up. And yet, this moment lands like a farewell. With ESPN's flagship baseball broadcast set to disappear after 2025, MLB's relationship with legacy media feels like a story slipping into the rearview. The demand is still there. But has the sport moved too far from the stage that helped define it? Injuries and transactions are starting to shape the middle third of the season. The Yankees lose a trusted bullpen arm in Luke Weaver, and must now juggle roles behind Devin Williams. Out west, the Dodgers continue to wait on Tyler Glasnow, whose recovery isn't progressing as hoped. Add in Mike Trout's return to form and the Brewers riding an eight-game heater, and it's clear the playoff picture is already shifting. San Diego is reportedly targeting Jarren Duran to fix their revolving door in left field, while Boston faces tough decisions with a crowded outfield and Roman Anthony waiting in the wings. And speaking of new faces: Jac Caglianone has officially arrived in Kansas City. Forget the noise—this call-up wasn't reckless, it was earned. And if the bat plays like we think it can, the Royals just added a middle-of-the-order anchor. College baseball's road to Omaha is heating up. The SEC stumbled through regionals, while the ACC thrived, and programs like Coastal Carolina, UTSA, and Murray State are flipping the script. It's a field full of dangerous underdogs and future pros, and the chaos has only just begun. As the episode wraps, we spotlight a few players scorching hot (hello Jeremy Peña), others in deep funks (Jarren Duran, Luis Severino), and take your mailbag questions—from New York's ultimate superteam to the biggest surprises and letdowns of 2025 so far. Whether you're watching the playoff races, following prospect call-ups, or just here for the best stories in the game—we've got you covered.

Jeremy Peña might be the Astros' most consistent everyday player right now, but is that a good thing or a red flag for their ceiling? ITL debates what that means for the team's future. Plus, what's grabbing your attention in sports right now? And in today's QOTD: what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done in public?
Jeremy Peña has been the Astros' most consistent everyday player—but is that a good sign or a red flag for how far this team can go? ITL breaks it down. Plus, what's currently grabbing your attention in the sports world, and what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done in public?

ITL discusses whether Rockets Reed Sheppard is the most offensively talented player on the roster. What's Popping: the Celtics stumble again—are the cracks showing? Also: which former Texan will this team miss the most in 2024? Lunch-Time Confessions call out Patrick Creighton's listening skills, and the OGs are back with Buy or Sell. To close it out, college football has a new “commissioner” in Nick Saban—can he bring order to the NIL era? And in Figgy's Mixtape: Smokey Robinson's questionable behavior lands him in ITL Court.

Yunieski nos cuenta sobre su carrera en Cuba, la influencia de su familia en el béisbol y el motivo por el cual decidió convertirse en coach de bateo, a pesar de que su juego destacaba más por la defensa.También profundizamos en Pina Power, su centro de entrenamiento, y en cómo trabaja con los jugadores para mejorar su ofensiva. Nos explica el uso de las nuevas máquinas de bateo y cómo han cambiado los entrenamientos con el paso del tiempo.

The Dome Foamers discussed the upcoming season of the Houston Astros, focusing on potential lineup changes, player roles, and the rotation. They also shared their predictions for the season, including potential breakout players and the pitcher of the year. The conversation also highlighted the importance of players like Jeremy Peña and the need for improvement in certain areas of their performance.
With the exit of key pieces in Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker, the Astros are adapting to potential lineup changes. The infield will feature new faces with the acquisition of first baseman Christian Walker and third baseman Isaac Paredes, in addition to second baseman Jose Altuve working in left field, but Jeremy Peña is expected to remain at shortstop. Last season, Peña recorded a .266 batting average and an OPS of .701. The Astros concluded their 2024 campaign with a disappointing loss to the Detroit Tigers in the AL Wild Card Series, which ended a run of seven consecutive trips to the American League Championship Series. As the Astros enter a new era, what can Peña do to become a feared member of the lineup?
