Episode 171 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the first place Chicago White Sox, who suddenly sit atop the AL Central at 36-31 after starting the season 6-13. We break down whether this surge is actually sustainable, how Chicago has gone 29-17 since April 18, why their top-five offense has changed the entire outlook, and how Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Davis Martin, and top prospect Braden Montgomery have turned the White Sox into one of baseball's best stories. From there, we dive into Bryce Eldridge's unbelievable signature moment in San Francisco. Just two days after striking out with a chance to tie the game, the 21-year-old rookie launched an ultimate grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 11-10 Giants comeback over the Nationals. We discuss the Giants erasing a 9-1 deficit, Eldridge becoming the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, Matt Chapman's monster game, and one of the most improbable wins in franchise history. We also discuss Ronald Acuña Jr. landing back on the injured list with another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, what it means for the Braves, and the bigger question of whether he is still a superstar. Acuña's 2023 MVP résumé is undeniable, but with two IL stints this season, multiple major injuries since 2021, and current numbers below his usual standard, the conversation has shifted from talent to availability. Plus, Drew Rasmussen dominates the Red Sox with a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, Max Scherzer reaches 3,500 career strikeouts while his season-long struggles continue, the Athletics and Brewers turn Las Vegas Ballpark into a launching pad, Dalton Rushing's villain reputation grows after another controversial slide, and we make our official Men's College World Series picks with Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Troy all fighting for Omaha.

Embrace the game! Stop your timid, even if it means running into the outfield wall. Twice. Josh Rojas has a minor league hit and a major league hit in the same day, in the form of an SAT question. Kazuma goes Tex Mex, adding a little Country with the quesadilla. Bello goes a little Devers. Matt completes the home run bingo card with Sacramento as the free space. Patti rants about basepaths. It's Pride month and TEX celebrates it through rainbow capitalism but dropping in the formerly September-based Faith and Family night into June instead of a public, inclusive Pride event. LAD honored trailblazers Glenn Burke and Billy Bean with a permanent display, but Blake can't even manage to wear the cap. In other cap news, the Fascist-in-Chief is pro salary cap, one it was explained to him. So much crosstraining with FIFA, from the actions of Mexican teachers, and the families of the disappeared, to the beginning of denying entry to officials, to fighting for reasonable water bottle policies and mass transit.

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 7, 2026 – 3 pm ETSegments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Tanner Bibee with a great game on Saturday. They announced on the game that he was the least supported starter in baseball this season.2.Imai with another good start on Saturday – 5 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 8K/3BB. That's three in a row, including the no-hitter.a.Is he turning the corner?3.Sure it was the Angels, but Roki Sasaki looked great on Friday. 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/2BB. He's been particularly good over his past four starts.a.Has he turned things around?b.Who would you rather have the rest of the Season – Imai or Sasaki?4.Royce Lewis is back in the Majors. I wrote last week that he was red hot and would likely see a return. Here's what I wrote.a.What are you thoughts on his return?Royce Lewis is making a loud statement for a return to Minnesota. In 13 games, he's hit 10 home runs and posted a .358 average. More importantly, his average exit velocity sits at 94.1 mph — a massive improvement over the woeful 87.9 mph he produced earlier with the Twins. He's still expanding the strike zone a ton, so the approach hasn't really changed. So why is he performing better?Some of it is BABIP correction, but only to a point. His .250 mark in Triple-A is better than the .215 he ran in Minnesota, yet still well below league norms. The real driver is simple: he's hitting the ball much harder. The caveat, of course, is that it's a tiny sample, and when you hit 10 home runs in 13 games, your EV is going to look inflated.Looking deeper, he's become a dead-pull hitter, and his long injury history has likely contributed to a gradual decline in exit velocity over the years. Will the EV fully return? Maybe. But can he stay healthy long enough for that to matter? My best guess is that he normalizes around 89–90 mph. With his leveraged swing, that still makes him a 20-homer bat. Given the aggressive approach, a modest batting average — something around .250 — feels realistic.I do think he'll return as a viable MLB player, but the superstar trajectory he once flashed doesn't look attainable anymore. At the same time, he wasn't as bad as he looked in April and May with Minnesota. The encouraging news is that he's hot, he's motivated, and he's forcing the issue. If the Twins wanted to see a spark before bringing him back, they're getting it. They'll surely say he “made an adjustment,” and maybe he did, but with samples this small, it's nearly impossible to prove through the data.5.Bryce Miller has been money since returning from the IL – 1.33 ERA, 29K/5BB in 29 innings.6.Zebby wins again on Friday. Is he an every time starter now or are you holding your breath every time out?a.Order these pitchers the rest of the season – Gage Jump, Zebby, David Sandlin, Christian Scott7.We crushed Matt Chapman on Friday and that night he went 2 for 3 with 8 RBIs – a grand slam and a three-run home run.a.Fantasy managers – You're welcome!Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose
