Standings chaos! We discuss one of the weirder standings you’ll ever see as we have 4 teams well over .500, and then every other team sitting below .500 but within range of a playoff spot. We try to identify ways to see through the noise and determine what can make an under .500 team a legitimate postseason threat, checking some things CBS offers such as the points behind stat and teams’ week-to-week scoring. We then have a similar discussion for IRL baseball. We do our best to set our personal fandoms aside as we discuss at what point fans should give their blessing to a mid-team to give up on the season and make moves for the future.

We begin the 2nd half with trades shaking up both IRL Baseball and RtG Baseball. First, we get our resident Red Sox fan’s state of mind following the shocking trade of Rafael Devers. We try to wrap our heads around what just happened and assign blame. We also break down the first Road to Glory trade of the season, which was between Coaches Jamie & Mehtab. Is it as simple as being a classic 2-for-1 trade, or is there further nuance to dig into? After that, we take a look at a couple of close matchups from last week, including Coach Rachel’s 3rd win in the past 4 weeks, and Nate’s narrow escape to keep up with the league leaders.

We’re at the halfway point in the RtG Baseball league, and it’s time for teams to pull out all the stops to turn their seasons around. We gather 3 coaches all working to make a push into the playoffs: your regular cohost Andrew, Coach Jamie, and Coach Brian. In our IRL baseball segment, we work together to create the perfect stadium for our hypothetical expansion team. Do you love retractable roofs? Huge walls? Short porches? How about hills in the outfield? We go through it all to build something beautiful.
