Julio Urias struggled again in the first game of MLB's Sticky Stuff Enforcement Era, and the Dodgers lost the first game of the series to the Padres. Jeff and Vince are here to talk about Julio's struggles, along with some talk of the reinforcements on the way in the forms of former MVP Cody Bellinger, future MVP Max Muncy, and (eventually) World Series MVP Corey Seager. Finally, we wax philosophical about the long baseball season and the importance of not getting too high or too low so we have energy in October.
