We kick things off (0:00) catching up on the weekend - William wrapped up Squid Game while Luis was spreading Marlins propaganda at a block party in Miami. Then we dive into an All-Star Game shake-up idea (6:36): Would a Team USA vs. World format be more exciting than AL vs. NL? We break down how both rosters might stack up and whether it would raise the stakes.
Next, we recap the Yankees-Braves series (13:46), starting with a rough bullpen game on Friday night. But the Yankees bounced back in a big way - a 12-9 slugfest on Saturday featuring a clutch Trent Grisham grand slam and a two-homer night from Anthony Volpe, followed by a 4-2 win on Sunday behind a huge Marcus Stroman start. With series against Toronto and Philly on deck, we talk about how this stretch could shape the Yankees’ approach to the trade deadline.
We close with our MLB weekend in review (38:38): the D-backs swept the Cardinals and may be shifting out of seller mode, Eugenio Suárez went off with back-to-back two-homer games, and the Brewers swept the Dodgers in L.A. - are the Dodgers in real trouble after going 0-6 against Milwaukee this season? The Reds won a series at Citi Field, the Marlins stayed hot, Detroit and Minnesota continued to struggle, and Cleveland may be making a mistake by holding firm at the deadline. Plus, the A’s youth movement, potential major sellers in Washington, Kyle Schwarber’s Hall of Fame case, and more.
