We kick things off with a quick recap of Luis’s Saturday night at the Morgan Wallen concert (0:00), then dive into a jam-packed MLB Draft recap (6:05) - from the early run on high school shortstops, Ethan Holliday slipping to No. 4, and Seattle getting a steal at No. 3, to the growing trend of college pitchers and why MLB seriously needs to fix the timing of All-Star week.

Next, we break down the Yankees' rollercoaster series against the Cubs (29:43), where the offense exploded Friday but got shut down by Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga over the weekend. We also discuss Anthony Volpe's extended slump and whether the Yankees should consider making a change at shortstop this season.

Finally, we hand out first-half grades in our MLB Weekend in Review (50:35). The Brewers might be the surprise of the season, while the Orioles have been one of the bigger letdowns. We touch on Byron Buxton’s cycle and his trade deadline outlook, the Phillies' bullpen needs, the Giants' blown series finale, Boston's 10-game win streak, and Jacob Misiorowski's All-Star nod - plus much more.

From there, we dive into the Yankees-Mariners series (11:04): DJ LeMahieu has officially been DFA’d - what it means for the third base spot moving forward, and why it was refreshing to see the Yankees make a tough decision. We break down Thursday night’s wild comeback win after getting no-hit through seven innings, Cam Schlittler’s electric MLB debut with his parents in the crowd, and a great slide from Volpe.

We wrap with our MLB Week in Review (33:40): the Dodgers have now lost six straight - are we worried yet? Milwaukee’s sweep might shift the NL Central race, the Red Sox have won seven straight and are in playoff position, and Colt Keith is mashing as the Tigers keep winning. Plus, is a sneaky Guardians trade on the way, there were runs galore in Anaheim, the Padres pitched to Eugenio Suárez instead of Josh Naylor (and it worked?), the Mets keep sliding, PCA joins the 25/25 club, and more from around the league.

We kick things off with a quick 4th of July weekend recap before diving into our reaction to the 2025 All-Star Game rosters (7:36). How do they stack up against our picks? Who are the biggest snubs? The AL looks solid, but the NL… not so much.

Next, we break down a disastrous 1–6 week for the Yankees (27:57). Clarke Schmidt is likely done for the season with Tommy John, the offense is showing life, but the pitching continues to implode. We delve into how deeper structural issues, from the front office down, are contributing to the Yankees’ collapse and what their trade deadline could look like.

Then, it’s our June Team of the Month (1:03:01), where we highlight breakout performances from Cal Raleigh, Juan Soto, and more - plus debate some tough calls in the outfield and easy ones on the mound.

In our Yankees vs. A’s recap (46:19), we dive into Jazz Chisholm’s electric Sunday, Judge’s two bombs, and a much-needed offensive explosion after Saturday’s dud. We also hit on Marcus Stroman’s return, Severino’s Sacramento comments, and whether the A’s should cash in on Mason Miller now.

We wrap with our MLB Weekend in Review (59:36), covering the Mets’ continued freefall, the surging Reds and Cardinals in the NL Central, post-Devers struggles for Boston and San Francisco, Ranger Suarez's historic stretch, chaos in Texas, the Kyle Tucker trade on full display in Houston, heartbreak for the Angels, 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.

We kick things off with a quick recap of William’s Little League coaching weekend before diving into the bombshell Rafael Devers trade (2:50), which sent the Red Sox slugger to the Giants in exchange for a couple of pitchers and a prospect. Is Boston cutting costs again? Was the Devers–front office relationship beyond repair? Is Devers a perfect fit for SF? Will he be willing to play 1B now? We break down all sides of the shocking move.

Then, we recap the Yankees–Red Sox series (25:16), where the Yankees were swept and managed just 4 runs across the weekend. From ugly baserunning to strikeout woes and wasted pitching performances, we dig into what went wrong and how New York can bounce back.

We wrap with our MLB weekend recap (43:48), including William’s Sunday trip to Wrigley, the red-hot Reds, a bunch of sweeps across the league, and whether the Astros are quietly becoming one of the best teams in baseball.
