Marc gets the show rolling discussing things he wishes didn't fade away, rather it be a certain snack or drink! He then gets to Julio Rodriguez who is still struggling, former MLB GM Steve Phillips declared that he’s “disappointed” in Rodríguez. The 2022 AL Rookie of the Year entered May hitting only .207 with four home runs, 14 RBI, and a .681 OPS over 139 plate appearances.“I ​still ​like ​him ​as ​a ​player,” Phillips said. “[There’s] ​still a ​spot ​for ​him, ​but ​I ​don’t ​think ​he’s ​the ​aircraft ​carrier ​that ​you’re ​going ​to ​need in the ​middle ​of ​the ​lineup.”Phillips said he expected Rodríguez to become a “mega-offensive star” after a sensational first season. Rodríguez posted 6.2 bWAR and a .853 OPS for the 2022 Mariners, leading them to their first playoff berth since 2001. We wrap the hour with Hitting to all fields as Bill Belichick is still in the news for all the wrong reasons.
