On this edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob discusses a few of the highlights from the MLB All-Star Game festivities in Seattle and explains why he's still banking on the New York Mets and San Diego Padres to turn their seasons around and make the postseason. Later, longtime MLB reporter Tim Brown swings by to talk about his new book, 'The Tao of the Backup Catcher', the life of a Major League Baseball beat writer, whether or not the Los Angeles Angels should trade Shohei Ohtani at the deadline and much more! Finally, we've got an appearance from the analytics guru himself Anthony Masterson.
