We talk Tim Anderson and Josh Donaldson getting into it over the “Jackie” comments, who’s wrong and why this is just an extremely confusing situation to begin with, Adley Rutschman getting called up for his big league debut, the standings and surprises through the first quarter of the season, Yadier Molina making his pitching debut, addressing the take that baseball needs to be done with position players pitching and much more. Enjoy!
