Welcome back, Daylight Burners. Jake and I are back on BD Baseball and the season is heating up. The A's got themselves a day off after climbing back toward .500, which is probably a good thing before the Rockies come to town this weekend. The Rockies, meanwhile, had one of those games where the box score tells you they should've been in it, and then you look up and they lost by six. Twelve hits, still got beat 9-3, because Seiya Suzuki hit a grand slam and the Cubs did Cubs stuff. And then there's the Tigers. Detroit went absolutely stupid on Minnesota — six home runs, 11-0 final, and one of those games where you just start laughing at the box score. We'll get into the A's, Rockies, Tigers, the rest of Thursday's MLB slate, the best arms, the best bats, and whatever rabbit holes Jake and I end up wandering down. BD Baseball. Ball talk, homer bias, and box scores that don't always make a lick of sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Cubs head to Atlanta sitting alone atop the NL Central and looking more complete than I expected this early in the season. In this episode, I dig into what's driving the start: - a deep, flexible lineup - elite team defense - sustainable offensive production - the impact of Craig Counsell and the Cubs' organizational approach - why the bench construction finally feels different - what concerns me about the pitching depth - and why I think this front office is going to push hard at the deadline I also look at: - Seiya Suzuki's huge start - Ian Happ's consistency - Matt Shaw's versatility - Moises Ballesteros' emergence - Ben Brown's breakout - why the Cubs' depth reminds me of 2008 and 2016 - and whether this team might actually be built for October baseball The Cubs have already split road trips against the Dodgers and Padres, taken series from Philly and Tampa and continue stacking wins despite major pitching injuries. Are they this good? Let's talk about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
