Tony Gwynn Jr. and Ben Davis start out the episode with a little game: in light of Gerrit Cole's 300th strikeout, the hosts try to guess who struck them out the most throughout their careers (1:06). After discussions on Carl and Mike Yastrzemski's Fenway performance (14:19), Tony remembers some instances where he and his Dad were able to take the field together (17:10). After in-depth talk on the NL East (18:40), former pitcher/outfielder and analyst Rick Ankiel joins the show to talk about the game's current players who pitch and bat at high levels, as well as his time spent playing with Albert Pujols and his memories of pitching to Barry Bonds (27:19).
