Chapter 2: What are the key performances highlighted in the MLB recently?
There were some funny comments.
There were some really funny comments, actually. Thank you to Uncle, Brother Pete. I have an actual Uncle Pete. But Trevor Plouffe is back in action after celebrating his 40th with the family in Dallas. How we doing, Coach?
I'm doing well out here in the beautiful state of Arizona now, up in Scottsdale, where you and I have had a time together way back in, what was that, 2022?
Things happen fast, man. That's coming up four or five years. Jesus.
It was me. It was you. It was Dookie. Chris Rose. Chris Rose was in the club.
Joe Solano. Yeah. Jerry Blevins.
Yeah, where, what? Yeah. Oh, Jerry Blev. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, everything is going good. Twins are on an absolute heater. Can't wait to just dive into that Rangers series. Give these guys a little bit of credit. No, everything is good. The Yankees had a great series as well. Can't wait to talk some ball. I got some things I want to say. Am I going to fix Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
's swing on the show today? Probably.
I could see that. Stay tuned. I could see that. My St. Louis Cardinals. It's been a while since you and I. Dustin May feels like he used to be a featured argument or discussion on this show. We're trying to fix him. He's back. Maybe he's fixed, coach. Or maybe the Padres offense fixes a lot of pitchers these days. What about the Nationals? I love my Nats. I've got an attitude.

Chapter 3: How are the Dodgers performing against the Rays?
Your Shady Rays polarized sunglasses let you track that fly ball, read the scoreboard, maybe read a putt on the green. Oh, yeah, people. It's summer season. However you summer, you should summer with Shady Rays. I'm going to email them and tell them make that your motto because I think that's amazing. The three things I like about Shady Rays. One, the sunglasses. They're just great.
Two, their lost or broken protection. If you lose or break them, even right after you get them, Shady replaces them. No drama, no stress, no replacement guilt.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Yankees' recent success without Aaron Judge?
And the biggest thing. Shady Rays has brought us an exclusive offer. ShadyRays.com. Code TALKING50. That's TALKING50. 50% off two or more pairs of polarized sunglasses. Get yourself two. Get one for you. Get one for a friend. Head to ShadyRays.com right now. Code TALKING50. We'll see you there. Let's shoot through. I guess what would be, if we were crafting up the tweet, what would the tweet be?
That the top six wildcard teams are separated by two and a half games. There's eight teams, I think, separated by... Three games or something? It's never been a math pod.
No, and you're not a great tweet pod.
There was a day when we used to be a great tweet pod. That NOL card's shaping up well. Hey, maybe the AL is too. There's a new team at the bottom of the AL wild card. We're going to get there, people. Let's shoot through it. I mean, I'll be honest. I don't know of these National League sets. There's not a lot that pop out and are like, oh, my God, we've got to spin.
10 minutes on this, it's, I don't want to say chalky, but the Brewers, they take care of the Guardians. That first game is kind of the joke game that we talk about between the guards and the Brewers. It's a 1-1 pitchers duel between Ciccone and Gasser, which again, those guys don't normally lead the way when we talk about those teams.
Garrett Mitchell, who's always a confusing baseball reference when I bring him up, he's got, when he connects, it's a simple, powerful swing. That gives them game one. They knock around Gavin Williams in game two. And then, yeah, I think we're one swing away from talking about a Brew Crew sweep here as they leave the bases loaded twice late. What did you see, Coach?
Yeah, I mean, this is a Guardians team without Jose Ramirez. And I said, Chris Rose, this could be a time where they go and a bunch of guys just step up and we get playoff Rokio. And, you know, it can happen for them. Did not happen this series. The Brewers aren't going to let that happen. They end up scoring nine total runs in this series.
They get to Gavin Williams, who they need to be elite in this time. The pitching staff needs to carry this team right now. and the last three starts haven't been great for him. Parker Messick was throwing cheese in that last game, so he ends up, again, avoiding the sweep. I know the Brewers had a chance there, but... I think this is just a little too much to overcome.
The Brewers are such a good team. The second game, like Yelich Oppo against Gavin Williams, and then Schneeman hits the grand slam, and it's like, okay, that's what I'm talking about. Like, this guy's stepping up. It's going to be one of those things for the guard dogs, but then Jackson Truurio doesn't care about that narrative and takes the lead back. So, yeah, I think this was, as of right now,

Chapter 5: What are the Yankees' recent performance highlights?
Um, the Yankees offense has, has taken the opportunity since he's been out that they, they go up 11 to one Garrett Cole looks very solid in that game. Um, and then the next night, uh, Cody Bellinger, who has just been one of the best players in baseball.
And again, it's going to be a fun Jolly Olive video in a couple years, the Juan Soto ripple effect that brought Cody Bellinger to the Bronx and just what kind of Yankee he has been. Paul Goldschmidt has been nails. Spoiler, I will talk about him later. And then, yeah, the Yankees on what was a fantastic New York week with the parade yesterday and the Knicks winning.
You know, a chance for a little fandomonium if they completed this sweep. Their bullpen, which still has some concerns, especially Camilo Duval. First pitch, pinch hit by Benintendi. Grand slam. 1-1 game in the eighth. 5-1. It's over.
What are your thoughts on the White Sox? I know you guys kind of gave them the business. You got Davis Martin, you guys crushed, and same with Anthony Kaye. Is there any redeeming qualities for you from the Sox team?
Yeah, I mean, they have young, good ballplayers. This is really tough because as much as I've been hyping Davis Martin this year, to see that start, I feel like I can't judge him on that. Seeing Sean Burke, we saw a couple followers earlier Like, I mentioned Robbie Ray had a great follower outing.
Sean Burke, who apparently his stats when he's a follower are incredible, and he looked the part that, yeah, I mean, it's there. I would have loved to see Murakami. He's on the shelf. Like, they still have pieces here, and I don't know, man. I don't want to be – I know I'm already a Yankee guy, and I'm fine with that. Thanks, everyone. But, like, they just beat the Braves.
They just beat the Dodgers. So I'm not – In a three-game set where two of their starting pitchers got rocked, I really can't use this as a measuring stick for them.
That's a nice measured take from you. Thank you for that.
I'm a nice measured guy. I'm about, you know, 5'10". Let's do some Blue Jays. Trev mentioned Jays A's. Jays are a wild card team right now. A team this whole year been looking for the sauce. You savages back looking like an ace. They had some hitters in the bad place for so long, whether it's Schneider, Vladdy to a different degree with his power stroke. Vladdy goes over the monster.

Chapter 6: What are the key takeaways from the White Sox's season?
What was that? What home run was that?
Yes. 500.
300, that's what it was. 300.
300, yes. Nuts, man. Wow. Gosh, darn it. Amazing career, UConn Go Huskies.
Go Huskies. I said I was going to fix Vladdy's swing. Even on the swing that he hit the homer in, I feel like he's not giving himself any space close to his body. He's super closed off, and it looks like the weight transfer is just rigid and... Again, just no space to operate in here. And that's not what I'm used to seeing out of him.
Blue Jays fans, tell me if you've been seeing that all year long or what. Because that'll zap you of some power. Look at this swing. The hips getting through doesn't seem efficient to me. It looks choppy. It looks disconnected is a word that a lot of people will use right there.
Yeah, that doesn't look like a Vladdy signature swing.
No, it doesn't at all.

Chapter 7: How are the Blue Jays performing in the current season?
So I don't know if he needs to maybe open the stance up a little bit or clear the hips like with that front foot a little more. I don't know if he's trying to stay in. So like that's on purpose. Right. But I saw that swing. I was like, that's I know it's a homer. Great. But it doesn't look like a typical Vladdy swing to me. But you're right, they're doing it.
I think it is a little bit of Boston down just so bad as well in all facets. That offense is tough. Where'd they go? They went 1 for 12 in the scoring position in the first game and 0 for 12 in the second game. And that's just kind of – I said that after the Twins played them. Bottom of that lineup are just kind of outs. And it really hasn't changed.
Yeah, the Red Sox stats, there's just a lot of bad ones. Lost 8 of 10, 10 of 14 in June. Season low 14 games below 500. 12 and 25 at Fenway Park. 6 and 17 against the AL East, so... If you want it, you need everything to change. Yeah, there was a foul pop-up that would have got them out of the inning, and it was a crazy windy day.
The first base ump had to have a wind timeout because stuff flew in his eye. It was a windy day, but Caleb Durbin has to know that after hitting an impactful homer, and he's had such a tough year.
Chapter 8: What insights are shared about player injuries and returns?
He's got to help out his catcher that, yeah, it's just one of those— That's one of those, I can speak from it better as a fan, because my playing days were limited, that you walk away and you're just like, oh, this team isn't it. Like, we can't win normally. If we can't win our wins, it's just over.
Right now, the Blue Jays have eight players with significant...
bats uh with ops plus is 100 or better it's like they're getting they're getting that lineup that length going so i'm that's nobody's like crushing the ball valenzuela has the highest ops plus at 117 right now 805 regular ops that would be the high on their team but i think by the end of the season we'll we'll talk about their offense like we did last year
I like that. Orioles-Mariners. I mentioned, you know, these teams have teed it up twice. Recently, the Mariners get the better of this one. At home, Brian Woo-Woo brings it home with a dominant Brian Woo start. It's good seeing Cal Raleigh back, and he breaks up the 1-1 tie. A little oppo-dinker-dunkaroo. Or not oppo, excuse me. Left center batting righty.
Gives the dugout a good reaction because he didn't get all of it, but... more than enough to help them win that game. But yeah, I, this, I'm excited to get to the return from the IL segment later. Uh, I'm normally not this week had a lot, man, that I was looking at a lot of rosters and it was like, Hey, you know, Tigers Houston, which currently doesn't have a lot of impacts.
The amount of guys that came back in this series, um, We obviously know the importance of the injury bug is Adley leaves this, the final game late. He gets plunked, run into first base. What did you see coach?
I saw me. Yeah. Cal Raleigh returning obviously means a lot to these Mariners. They really just haven't been on the health side all year. Offensively. JP comes back. Cal comes back, but Brandon Donovan still out. Julio leaves the game. Randy's on the IL. Like I would do want to see a full compliment of offensive players for the Mariners. I feel like we haven't really had that all season long.
I think the interesting thing here is, yeah, we saw some good pitching. They've all decided collectively to go back to the piggyback system, and the way they're going to do it is everyone through the rotation is going to just mix and match. Everyone's going to get the piggyback start and bulk, essentially. Yes. And for a while, the Mariners fans kept saying that to us in the comments.
Like, hey, the six-man rotation eliminates the piggyback, but it also leaves this one bullpen arm short. And it's been showing up. So I understand the sentiment. Yeah, I don't know. They're in a difficult spot because the guy that they probably want to send out is just a very tenured, accomplished pitcher. And that puts them in an interesting spot. But I'm curious to see how it goes, if it works.
