Keith and DVR discuss the big-league debut of Grayson Rodriguez, the improved outlook for the 2023 Rangers, Padres teenage catcher prospect Ethan Salas, the high ceiling of A's pitcher Mason Miller, early-season graduations from the top prospect list (and a new No. 1 overall player on most lists), a quick turnaround for the Brewers' minor-league system, and the Rays' surprisingly poor recent track record in the MLB Draft.

Behind the curtain of the MLB Power Rankings

Starkville | Jon Miller is celebrating 50 years of broadcaster baseball games this summer. He stopped by Starkville to share some of his favorite stories from a half century behind the microphone.

Strange But True: Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry had a 3-run error and then gave up a 3-run home run in the same inning last week. When was the last time that happened?

Trivia from Mark Snyderman: This week is the 50th anniversary of Henry Aaron’s 715th home run. He is also baseball’s all-time leader in total bases, with 6,856. Only three other players finished their careers with more than 6,000 total bases. Name them.
