Today's word of the day is ‘snoring' as in sleep as in passed out as in Mets acting GM Zack Scott was arrested for drunk driving after falling asleep at a red light. Just another awful situation for the Mets. The GM was fired for being a creep, the players were booed for giving thumbs down, the star studded rotation has all been hurt, and now this. Just more nonsense under Sandy Alderson and Steve Cohen's watch. (9:45) The Washington Nationals made it mandatory for staff to get vaccinated. Nats VP Bob Boone, father of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, has stepped down. Cool. (15:20) NBA teams are going to be in a bit of a situation in some major cities because of COVID restrictions. New York and San Francisco have rules in place that say anyone who enters the arena must be vaccinated. That means Knicks, Nets, and Warriors either have to be vaccinated or they can't enter the building. Whoa. (26:35) Review: Walk of Shame. (31:35) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about running a business and how I dealt with lower level employees. They asked if those employees were easily expendable. Interesting. (38:20) NPPOD. (39:20) Nick Castellanos had two home runs through 2 innings against the Cardinals yesterday. Unimportant. What was important was that the Cardinals had his bats checked. Why?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, or someone else? *Thoughts on reports of Nick Castellanos being "likely" to opt out after the season *Does it matter that Joe Burrow will start the last preseason game? *How big of an impact will Joseph Ossai's injury have on the Bengals' defense? *Will the new alliance between the ACC, Big Ten and Pac 12 have a big impact on college athletics? *A look at college football prop bets and stats *#AskSkinnyAnything

Jeff recaps the game but stays positive and gives you the one big takeaway from it. He also talks about the idea of Nick Castellanos taking his opt-out and why it's not news that he might use it. He then finishes the podcast by looking ahead to where the Reds should have their focus and an idea for the hopeful Wild Card Game they will be in. *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr on Twitter and @carrjefff on Instagram Call or text (513) 549-0159 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In the second hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh continued to discuss the frightening moment in the White Sox's win against the Athletics on Tuesday in which Oakland right-hander Chris Bassitt was hit in the head by a 100-mph line drive off the bat of Chicago outfielder Brian Goodwin. After that, they conducted the Pick 6 segment, debating questions surrounding the top sports stories of the day, including White Sox closer Liam Hendriks' admission that he was tipping pitches, whether the Cubs should pursue outfielder Nick Castellanos in the offseason and more. Later, the guys reacted to former Cubs star Kris Bryant's recent comments that he likes his new Giants teammates because they "put their head down, they go to work, they're not flashy."

Also are the Reds buyers? We discuss. And we will give our second half predictions.

Vladimir Guerrero is no doubt the biggest breakout hitter from the first half of the season? Did a 34-year old shortstop really make the team? We always knew Nick Castellanos had this type of upside. In a sea of great starting pitchers, which one has emerged as the top breakout thus far?

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed how White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito hasn't had his best stuff in the last month or so. They took a look at the adjustments he needs to make to be better in the post-sticky stuff era. Then, roles were a little reversed here as Parkins did a GREAT job cooking over the Fourth of July weekend for a big party and executive producer Shane Riordan had an adventure with his smoker. Also, remember when slugger Nick Castellanos interrupted former Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman's on-air apology with a deep fly ball to left field that ended up being a home run? Well, he did it again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
