We talk the Giants and Dodgers clinching postseason berths, the Giants continuing to surprise, the value of a manager in today’s game, if anyone would stand a chance in a one-game Wild Card matchup against the Dodgers, how LA’s run differential matches up against the highest of all time, the Cardinals showing up seemingly out of nowhere and jumping right into the wild card spot, whether Nate actually flipped on the Padres or not, the Orioles grounds crew being ejected in the game against the Yankees, Shohei Ohtani being named to Time Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People and also likely having his arm shut down for the rest of 2021, Mike Trout not returning, Salvador Perez continuing his home run tear, Seattle being named host for the 2023 All-Star Game, an update on a potential podcast trip to the AL Wild Card Game (and what needs to fall into place to make it happen) and much more! Enjoy!
