Greg and Josh discuss the latest in the Anthony Bass saga including a Ross Atkins interview that was immediately undone by Bass' clear lack of growth, and announcement that Bass would catch the first pitch on Pride Night then a live reaction to the sweet release of the Bass DFA.

They also talk about why the Alek Manoah demotion needed to happen, what he'll have to work on and potential timelines for his return, what Bowden Francis could bring to the club, the vastly improved defence across the roster and its impact on recent games, the continued excellence of Gausman, Bassitt and Berríos despite entirely different approaches, the power starting to return and Danny Jansen beginning a rehab assignment.

The guys also answer listener questions and give a Do Over to Keith Hernandez.
