- It's happened! We flat out agree with the MollyWop guys and their conversation with Ian Furness about fan reactions to Julio in the allstar game. We never thought we'd see the day! It's Trade Deadline Month Day! Yesterday we talked about the possibility of the Braves trading Ronald Acuna Jr and while that seems unlikely, they may be willing to part with Marcell Ozuna. Is Ozuna the answer for the Mariners? Let's take a look. He's had some off-field issues and they're very serious, is that something the Mariners would want to deal with? On the other hand, the incident happened in 2021, has enough time passed? He's on the last year of his contract, so the Mariners would be on the hook for about $8 million and given the fact that he's a rental, you probably wouldn't have to give up that much for him… except, that this isn't a buyers' market. The demand for adding will be high this year with so many teams thinking they are still in the playoff hunt. He lacks versatility- he's only a DH and you aren't going to sit Cal on his days off, nor are you going to sit someone you bring in at the deadline. :30- Orel Hershiser brought up the idea that the Astros are playing so well, it's like they know what pitches are coming… could it be possible that the Astros would dare cheat again? :45- When this building starts shaking will we be ready? Some of us probably more than others… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Observations from an epic sweep in Dodger Stadium, the shifting expectations for the Astros ceiling for the season, All-Star balloting, returning relievers, and reacting to Orel Hershiser's divisive remarks.

Beyond the diamond, they dissect the NBA Finals, sharing passionate, sometimes controversial, opinions on the league's biggest moments and players. And when the sports world needs a break, they pivot to lively discussions about classic and new movies, often sparking heated debates over what constitutes a cinematic "must-see" versus a "haven't seen it and don't care to" flick, much to the amusement (or frustration) of their callers.

Chris Sale had yet another masterful performance Monday afternoon when the Atlanta Braves took on the San Diego Padres at Truist Park. Sale went seven innings while giving up zero runs and striking out nine hitters. That's twenty consecutive innings without giving up a run. While this is not even half of the MLB record (fifty-nine by Orel Hershiser in 1988) for consecutive innings without allowing a run, it's still very impressive. But there are still a lot of nay-sayers out there on Chris Sale. Why? Health? Sale did indeed have surgery on his left elbow several years ago, then after that he had some minor injuries that simply de-railed his rehabilitation. Before the elbow procedure, Chris Sale was a phenomenal pitcher, so why are many people so surprised that he is again a phenomenal pitcher? We are now forty-four games in to the 2024 season, and it's safe to say that Chris Sale is having a great start of the season. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael talk about the early "sample size" on Chris Sale in a Braves uniform, but if it is big enough to judge Chris Sale's season, then it has to be big enough to judge the start of the season of Ronald Acuña Jr. We'll get in to that later...
