We kick things off with a Yankees-Angels recap (2:48) — the bats disappeared, Anthony Volpe’s costly error added fuel to the fire, and we ask some tough questions about his future in the Bronx. We do credit the Yankees’ pitching, but Boone’s lineup decisions (now with Giancarlo back) and in-game calls leave much to be desired.
Then we dive into the Rafael Devers trade fallout (29:51). Red Sox players didn’t seem too heartbroken over his exit, and the front office looks like a total mess. We compare Devers to Soto and ask if Boston can sustain their recent hot streak without him.
In the Men’s College World Series (41:20), Arkansas suffered another gut-wrenching loss — are they cursed? And it’s Coastal Carolina vs. LSU in the Finals.
We wrap with a wild MLB Week in Review (44:56): Rob Thomson benches Nick Castellanos — would we have done the same? The Rockies win 3 of 4, the Rays stay red-hot with a wild Wednesday comeback, Astros explode in Sacramento, the Dodgers keep owning the Padres, Ohtani returns to the mound, the Reds are surging, the Mets are spiraling, and plenty more from around the league.
