Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Spencer Jones facing an overclocked Jacob Misiorowski in Jones’s MLB debut, the distance from the mound to home plate when Ryan Waldschmidt is batting, Gage Workman’s middle name, and Tarik Skubal’s loose lima bean, then discuss the surprising Patrick Bailey trade—including takes on Bailey’s bat and framing value in the ABS era, the leadership of Buster Posey and Tony Vitello, Cleveland doubling down on the Austin Hedges catching model, and the virtues of Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson—plus thoughts on the bouncebacks of Bryce Harper and Michael Conforto, the Pirates’ rotation, iron man Matt Olson, a Craig Kimbrel meltdown, and the death of Bobby Cox.

Benches cleared after Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez hit Red Sox batter Trevor Story on Tuesday. Valdez said it was not intentional, while Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said it was a "low moment" for the team. Speculation abounds that Valdez was upset about the Boston stealing signs, rather than the two home runs they hit before Story was beaned. Eduardo Perez joins to break it all down. Later on, Hembo hops on to discuss Matt Olson's hot streak, Rafael Devers slow start, and the rookie who is raking for the Cubs. 0:00 Welcome 0:41 Eduardo Perez joins 0:55 Framber Valdez fallout 3:01 How long should Valdez be suspended? 5:11 Tigers starting pitching injury crisis 6:39 Tarik Skubal out 2-3 months 9:02 Junior Caminero is must-watch 9:57 What is happening with the Giants? 12:09 Carlos Correa out for the season 13:00 Hembo joins the show 13:57 Rafael Devers struggles in San Francisco 18:35 Matt Olson, Hall of Fame bound? 22:30 Red Sox struggling at the plate 25:34 Moises Ballesteros on fire for the Cubs 30:15 Marlins middle infield swap 32:22 Congrats to the Schwinks 33:06 Bleacher Tweets Learn more about your ad choices.
