Justice for Twist! Ryan and Maddy review "gaMe changer," yet another great episode for The Gifted's second season. The Hellfire Club has apprehended Rebecca and locked her up in a spinning cube, but when Andy tries to rescue her, it doesn't end well. The rest of the Strucker family figures out that the kindly doctor helping them actually has Moira/Dr. Sasaki vibes, which is never a good thing. Clarice and John are still arguing over what's left of the Mutant Underground, and Marcos is the depressed third wheel, although the three of them still manage to figure out the Hellfire Club's next move even if they don't manage to stop it. And what is that next move? Taking out the power source for every mutant collar in America. A very poorly guarded power source. Next episode: Listener mail!!

She shared what early-season baseball happenings surprised her and 'confirmed her priors.' Then she played along and guessed at the members of 'The All-Scrapes Team' (or 'The All-Ouch Team') - players who have dove for balls the most over the last 3 seasons. Mark also shared which players are the most effective at diving for balls at each position.Brandon, who writes regularly for SportsInfoSolutions.com (see his articles on Roki Sasaki and Tomoyuki Sugano), is SIS' resident expert in Japanese baseball pitchers and their performance in the major leagues. He delved into the pitching approaches of Sasaki, Sugano, Shota Imanaga, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Roki Sasaki looked every bit the favorite in Las Vegas for 2025 Rookie of the Year in the National League. The Los Angeles Dodgers phenom was outstanding on Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds, striking out five in three scoreless innings of work.Who else from the NL West can possibly challenge the latest Japanese pitching sensation for the Dodgers? Will teammate Hyeseong Kim steal some attention and, ultimately, votes from Sasaki? Is Jordan Lawlar of the Arizona Diamondbacks really the next best prospect in the division?Could Bryce Eldridge, as a midseason call-up for the San Francisco Giants, do enough in four months to take home the Jackie Robinson Award? Is Tirso Ornelas the San Diego Padres top challenger? Could Drew Romo of the Colorado Rockies have a better shot than any number of rookie relievers like Seth Halvorsen, Jaden Hill and Luis Peralta?

Guest: Ellen Harrigan, current Los Angeles Dodgers VP of baseball administration and Blue Jays front office member from 1981-1995. This week, we're joined by Ellen Harrigan, who is about to begin her 45th season working in baseball.

Harrigan shares her story, from the quirky way she landed that first job with the Jays out of high school, to working for the modern-day Dodgers of Betts, Ohtani, Freeman and Sasaki.
