Bob makes the bigs. Our proud fathers break down the Tampa Bay series and Logan Webb's mojo (or lack thereof) and then dive into a lightning round wherein they discuss the future of right field, the starting rotation, Brandon Belt disease, and Robbie Ray's 2026 mojo target.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
