The All-Star break is here and things are heating up—on the field and in the booth. With Jordan off doing hero shit in flood-ravaged Texas, Matt and Jake hold it down with a deep dive into the MLB midseason madness.

They break down:

The Tigers' surprise run and why Tarek Skubal might start the ASG

The rise of Riley Greene and the defensive wizardry of Denzel Clark

Why the A’s are finally… kinda fun to watch?

All-Star snubs (Soto, Adele, and maybe Devers?)

The Home Run Derby lineup: Big Dumper, Buxton, Wood, O’Neil Cruz and more

Trade deadline speculation (is Severino out? Do the Royals dump Lugo?)

Why Kershaw still gets love even from Dodgers haters

And yes… the torpedo bat might become a problem

Also covered: dumb Home Run Derby rule changes, dream Derby matchups, and why the All-Star Game used to actually matter. This one's loaded with stats, sarcasm, and just enough chaos to make you question why you still love baseball. (But you do.)

Watch the Derby with us next Monday—we’ll be live casting the All-Star Game Tuesday. Stay tuned.
