The Philadelphia Phillies coming into the season were billed as a star studded roster with oodles of talent up and down the roster!

In Lunch-Time Confessions: is Liam Neeson's acting range underrated… or nonexistent? Plus, the first round of MLB All-Star Game voting is in, and once again it's a mess — especially for the Astros. ITL reacts to the snubs and the system.

Headlines and an Ernest conversation. Yesterday, John Boyle joined us to give his thoughts on just how important Ernest Jones is to this 2025 Seahawks team, so we revisit part of the conversation and discuss. :30- The Red Sox surprised everyone when they traded Rafael Devers to the Giants without shopping him around, but they needed to find someone who would take him and his contract off their hands. These long-term contracts rarely work out, and we never expected the Mariners to be in on a trade like that. :45- We had no idea how powerful we are! The first numbers are in on allstar voting and Cal leads all catchers by almost 700,000 votes. Should we take all the credit now or….? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The course is always set up to be a tough test, but the USGA is stepping it up this week. Scottie, Rory and Bryson are the favorites yet again, but Brady gives us his insight on the favorites, the field, some dark horses and who he's fading. :30- The Mariners lose a wild one in Arizona and Dom Canzone gives them a chance with a 9th inning home run. Canzone was called up yesterday when Leody Taveras was DFA'd, so what happened with the Leody experiment and what's next? :45- It's Voting Time! Cast your 5 votes to get Cal into the Allstar Game!
