Alek Manoah REFUSED to report to Triple-A and is expected to be shut down for the season. We’re reacting to yet another black mark on the season for Jared and Dallas’ AL Cy Young pick. Trea Turner has pretty much been the best player in baseball since he received his standing ovation and we’re trying to figure out what’s in the air in Philly. We also speculate on what could be the best playoff matchups, the NL MVP race, the A’s not being as bad as we thought, and A-Rod’s comments on AVG. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
