0:00 - We kick things off with a quick heat wave check-in and some NBA Draft thoughts before diving into our picks for starters in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. We go position by position across the AL and NL and take issue with the flaws in fan voting. Our full rosters are coming in Sunday's episode.

36:28 - Then we break down yet another frustrating Yankees series loss — this time to the Reds. Jazz Chisholm gets tossed, Max Fried shuts the door, Judge comes up empty in big moments, and we question whether the Yankees would consider trading young, controllable pitching at the deadline.

57:49 - We wrap with a full MLB Week in Review, including the Astros sweeping Philly behind dominant pitching, Jeremy Peña signing with Scott Boras, bounce-back performances from the Cubs, Mets, and Twins, Kershaw closing in on 3,000 strikeouts, the Ketel Marte fan incident in Chicago, a possible Misiorowski vs. Skenes rivalry brewing, the Red Sox getting swept in LA, the fading NL West, the surging Rays, and much more!

We kick things off with a quick recap of Luis’s birthday celebration and William’s weekend playing men’s league softball before diving into the College World Series (5:55) and a loaded week in baseball.

Yankees Segment (10:52) – The Yankees grabbed a massive win on Sunday thanks to a monster performance from Jazz Chisholm. Saturday’s victory was fueled by another strong outing from Clarke Schmidt, continuing a dominant stretch from the rotation. Friday’s opener was a gut punch - Luke Weaver gave up the game late in his first appearance back from the IL. We break down the series, the continued inconsistency with the lineup construction, and why this Reds series could be a critical turning point heading into July.

Around the League (39:11) – Cal Raleigh sets a historic mark for HRs by a catcher before the break—can he actually make a run at AL MVP? Could PCA challenge Ohtani for the NL crown? We explore the possibility of the entire Cubs outfield making the All-Star team after a wild, high-scoring weekend at Wrigley. Plus: the red-hot Rays take 2 of 3 from the AL-leading Tigers, Jacob Misiorowski 's ridiculous start to life at the MLB level, the Astros are the most underrated team in baseball, Devers shines against Boston, Ohtani’s second start on the mound, and much more.

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.
