We kick things off with a quick recap of Luis’s Saturday night at the Morgan Wallen concert (0:00), then dive into a jam-packed MLB Draft recap (6:05) - from the early run on high school shortstops, Ethan Holliday slipping to No. 4, and Seattle getting a steal at No. 3, to the growing trend of college pitchers and why MLB seriously needs to fix the timing of All-Star week.
Next, we break down the Yankees' rollercoaster series against the Cubs (29:43), where the offense exploded Friday but got shut down by Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga over the weekend. We also discuss Anthony Volpe's extended slump and whether the Yankees should consider making a change at shortstop this season.
Finally, we hand out first-half grades in our MLB Weekend in Review (50:35). The Brewers might be the surprise of the season, while the Orioles have been one of the bigger letdowns. We touch on Byron Buxton’s cycle and his trade deadline outlook, the Phillies' bullpen needs, the Giants' blown series finale, Boston's 10-game win streak, and Jacob Misiorowski's All-Star nod - plus much more.
