Standings Shake-Up, Another Ohtani Scandal, Mets STILL Struggling: MLB Weekly Recap | Ep. 319

We kick things off (0:00) by putting a bow on the Columbus Explorers season and randomly debating our favorite chain pizza restaurants. We then highlight (7:54) how the standings have flip-flopped across MLB since mid-June and which division and Wild Card races we’re most excited for down the stretch.

This week's Yankees-Twins Series Recap (11:15) covers why the Yankees' series win over the Twins still feels like a loss. We break down Austin Wells’ struggles and what the plan should be, Jasson Domínguez’s curious absence all week despite facing three righties, Boone’s decision to go to Yerry De Los Santos, Stanton in RF, Volpe’s improvements, and why this series doesn’t change the season’s outlook.

In Fish Files (37:33), we check in on Miami and their series loss in Cleveland, before touching on (44:30) Michael Porter Jr.’s questionable gambling-related comments in a recent podcast episode.

Finally, in MLB Week in Review (46:31), we talk about the Angels sweeping the Dodgers in the series and season series and if that’s cause for concern for the Dodgers - plus another strange Shohei Ohtani off-field story, this one involving Hawaii real estate. We also hit on the Reds now just 0.5 GB of the free-falling Mets in the NL Wild Card, the Cubs’ ongoing skid and PCA’s slump, the Mariners dropping a series in Baltimore, a wild D-backs series win and whether they’re still in the hunt, Jacob Lopez’s dominance, and much more.
