Baseball is officially back from the All-Star break, and Shohei Ohtani is back making history. But how much longer will he be doing it from Anaheim?  Jake Mintz is joined by Foolish Baseball himself, Bailey Freeman, to break down all the action from over the weekend, and debate over what Arte Moreno and the Angels should do with Ohtani, provide some possible solutions for the Padres' woes, and put into context exactly how good 21-year-old Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki really is.
