In Episode 471, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about children's birthday parites and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 

1. Woah-oh, we're halfway there: We check in on the playoff races and best players at the midway mark of the major-league season
2. Sacfeld Follies: Luis Severino probably should have known what he was getting into when he signed with the Athletics, but it's also possibly been worse than even expected.
3. Rumor Has It: Some early trade season rumors as we head into July  
4. Around the Horn: We have some thoughts on Dave Parker's passing and Rob Manfred has some thoughts on what the player's union should do (and we have some thoughts on his thoughts).
5. Oh right Patrick is on vacation and we need a game
