Join PJ (@prspctvibecheck) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they discuss the All Star weekend including the Draft, Futures Game, Home Run Derby and All Star game. They also talk about the extensions for JJ Wetherholt and Chase Burns along with some other news and notes from around the league. They spend the bulk of the podcast reviewing the first half All-MLB Fantasy Team; who has come out of no where and who can sustain their performance through the end of the season and what it might mean in dynasty.Players Discussed: Dillon Dingler, Ben Rice, Liam Hicks, Willson Contreras, Nick Kurtz, Sam Antonacci, Brice Turang, Luis Arraez, Junior Caminero, Miguel Vargas, Josh Jung, Otto Lopez, CJ Abrams, Kevin McGonigle, Yordan Alvarez, James Wood, Juan Soto, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Byron Buxton, Randy Arozarena, Jordan Walker, Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, Jake Bauers, Yandy Diaz, Jacob Misiorowski, Dylan Cease, Jacob deGrom, Paul Skenes, Cam Schlittler, Joe Ryan, Chris Sale, Cristopher Sanchez, Braxton Ashcraft, Jesus Luzardo, Foster Griffin, Emerson Hancock, Cade Smith, Mason Miller, Jhoan Duran, Aroldis Chapman, Louis Varland, Bryan Baker.
Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen has officially been placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Corey Pieper breaks down a massive pre-All-Star break injury wave, highly anticipated star activations, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The pre-break injury report is absolutely devastating for fantasy rosters as Kyle Harrison hits the injured list with a forearm issue prompting Robert Gasser's recall, Matt McLain lands on the shelf with a strained left calf, and Mike Yastrzemski goes to the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. Additionally, American League All-Star Nick Kurtz lands on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb capsule sprain, Nick Lodolo hits the injured list with a blister, Blaze Alexander suffers a hand fracture, and Emerson Hancock was removed from his outing after taking a line drive. Roster managers must also navigate Jacob deGrom missing his next start, Shohei Ohtani skipping a start with left knee inflammation, Bo Bichette sitting out all weekend, and Jacob Misiorowski having his start skipped for developmental inning management, though fantasy managers receive major boosts with Wyatt Langford, Jeremy Pena, Ryan Jeffers, Vinnie Pasquantino, and Munetaka Murakami all activated from the injured list, alongside Edwin Diaz launching a rehab assignment and Emiliano Teodo making his MLB debut. Daily performance metrics highlight a loaded group of standouts as Sean Burke, Hunter Greene, Tristan Peters, Esmerlyn Valdez, Jake Bauers, Gage Jump, Kyle Karros, Tyler Mahle, James Wood, Cam Schlittler, Cristopher Sanchez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., James McCann, Manny Machado, Paul Skenes, Lane Thomas, Gunnar Henderson, Alex Bregman, Zach Thornton, Joey Cantillo, Brayan Rocchio, Noah Schultz, Taj Bradley, Brandon Nimmo, Trevor McDonald, and Kevin Gausman all deliver big games, while Parker Messick battles Sandy Alcantara and Zack Wheeler duels Tarik Skubal. Conversely, a handful of prominent options flatlined, with Shea Langeliers posting a three-strikeout collar, Carson Benge going 0-for-4 with three punchouts, Otto Lopez finishing 0-for-5 with four strikeouts, and Braxton Ashcraft, Willy Adames, Freddy Peralta, Trey Yesavage, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Spencer Torkelson, Ian Seymour, and JT Ginn all struggling into the duds section. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment provides direct tactical targets to optimize your active roster heading into the midsummer break, isolating top priority free agents who can fortify your categories for the second-half push.

The Marlins remain one of MLB's most confusing teams this season: boring to watch yet solidly in the thick of the Wild Card race. Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards continue to play like under‑the‑radar All‑Stars, Max Meyer is pitching his way into early CY Young buzz, and Sandy Alcantara suddenly looks revived. But injuries to Eury Pérez and disappointing performances from Marsee, Stowers, and Norby raise real questions about whether Miami can sustain a push toward meaningful summer baseball at loanDepot park.Around the league, Tarik Skubal's return is a major boost for Detroit, while the Padres are collapsing.

The hour also includes light moments with Hollywood's weather report leading into a story about dealing with the South Florida heat and the importance of staying hydrated, plus a broader discussion on Miami's need for star power, the Hurricanes' strong recruiting class and rising national expectations, and a debate over whether fans should be allowed to know what college athletes are earning in the NIL era.
Radio voice of the Miami Marlins Jack McMullan joins the show. Jack says that Sandy Alcantara has been very inconsistent this year, but it is very possible that you get the best version of him in any given outing. Jack mentions that Otto Lopez has been very good this year and could be a thorn in the side for the Pirates this series.
The guys open the show with a busy slate of sports headlines, starting with the NBA Finals as the Knicks and Spurs continue their physical, back-and-forth series, alongside reaction to a strong Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas and the Marlins' continued hot stretch behind standout performances from Otto Lopez, Xavier Edwards, and rookie Joe Mack.

He also discusses Jonah Savaiinaea's second-year jump and the decision to move him back to his natural right side, while weighing in on Quinn Ewers' strong OTAs, Malik Willis building chemistry with his receivers, and the ongoing RB2 battle between Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright, emphasizing that multiple starting jobs are still up for grabs. The conversation then shifts to the Marlins, where Otto Lopez, Xavier Edwards, and Joe Mack continue to stand out, before honoring longtime South Florida media figure Dave Hyde following his retirement after a 36-year career, as Hollywood jokes about Joe potentially stepping into a leadership role at the station. The hour wraps with NBA Finals talk, including discussion on today's three-point-heavy style of play compared to the physical eras of the past.
Hour 2 opens with continued discussion around the Brendan Sorsby situation and what it says about the state of college football enforcement, followed by broader Dolphins talk as the guys set expectations for key players on the roster and where the team stands heading into the season.

Hour 1 opens with NBA Finals talk as the Knicks and Spurs prepare for a pivotal Game 4, with the guys debating whether Victor Wembanyama crossed the line with his physical play, how the series is being officiated, and whether today's Knicks need to embrace the toughness that defined the legendary 1990s Knicks and Heat-Knicks rivalry. The conversation also explores the unique atmosphere of Madison Square Garden and why the biggest moments—not the first quarter—ultimately decide championships. Joe then sounds off on the ongoing Brendan Sorsby controversy, questioning whether the Texas Tech quarterback should be allowed to play after gambling on games involving his own team and discussing what the situation says about the NIL era and the changing landscape of college football.

⚾
Clayton McCullough joins the show as the Marlins come off a sweep of the Nationals, discussing Miami's up-and-down stretch that included dropping five straight before bouncing back in a big way.

Joe Rose and Kim Bokamper open the hour with a discussion about injuries in sports, highlighting players like JuJu Brents and Austin Jackson and emphasizing how important it is for both to stay healthy this season. They talk about how injuries are part of the game, but note how the approach has changed over time, with today's players having more financial leverage, stronger agent influence, and a greater incentive to protect long-term contracts compared to the tougher, more “play through anything” era Joe and Bokamper came up in.
