A full show on a Tuesday!

Is it time for Jac Caglianone to get called down? He has been rough this year. Is Quatraro on the hot seat? And then we ask a Chiefs would you rather.

The Kansas City Royals GM JJ Picollo spoke on this teams building and how he wants to improve this team.

Salvy is starting to rake again and it is so refreshing to see him hit the baseball like this. If he gets to the 300 HR mark... Is he a sure fire hall of famer?

A good 4 hours back from the long weekend!

A good hour 4 with the boys back together!

Bobby Witt Jr not as a starter in the MLB All Star Game?! And losing it to a rookie... Make it make sense.

A fun hour 3!

It's time for the royals to have addition by subtraction. Mac asks about Trey Smith, we play one word and talk tunes.

Bobby Witt Jr isn't an All Star starter and we think that is asinine. We talk other all star story lines around the Royals and then talk a fun hypothetical that took over the internet.

Is it time to send Caglianone back to the minors?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss Caglianone's situation and more.- Is it time to send Jac Caglianone back to the minors?- What's best long term for Caglianone?- Why is Jac struggling to hit the ball in the air?- Should the Royals pay Lugo long term?- What's Salvy's place in Royals history?- Are the Royals missing chemistry?- Carter Jensen heats up in Omaha.

Hour 1 – The Drive played what Paul Finebaum had to say about the Texas QB ahead of the season, and highlighted how Manning hype is out of control.

What's it like to walk into a new clubhouse and see a fog machine, a Segway, and a teammate in a bear suit? For veteran pitcher Jason Vargas, it was his first taste of the wild energy that defined the Kansas City Royals. In this episode, Vargas shares how that group of "dogs" evolved from a fun-loving team to a contender, and the role he played as a veteran leader in shaping that winning culture. Vargas reflects on his own baseball upbringing, from learning the "right way to play" from his high school coach dad to embracing the legendary "dirtbag culture" at Long Beach State alongside teammates like Jered Weaver. He takes that same mentality to the golf course, sharing unbelievable stories of setting up tee times at the world's best courses and becoming a founding member of Mike Trout's exclusive "Trout National". He even tells the incredible story of piping a perfect drive right in front of a watching Tiger Woods. Now, Vargas brings his lifetime of baseball knowledge to the next generation, coaching his son's youth team. He gives his unfiltered take on the current state of amateur travel ball, the challenge of teaching team fundamentals in an era of individual showcases, and the delicate balance of being both a father and a coach on the field.-------------------------HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Moustakas /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@moosetacos8⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Peter Moylan / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@petermoylan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Su'a /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @justinsua⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Advertising & Partnership inquiries: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠diggindeep@moonballmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MoonBall Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast
