Baseball takes center stage on this all-diamond edition of Loftside Bantr. I break down whether the Home Run Derby still delivers the excitement fans expect or if it's lost its fastball. We dive into the MLB Draft—who stood out, who surprised, and who might be a future star. Plus, I hand out first-half MVP honors and shoutouts across the league. If you love baseball, this one’s for you.
