This week, our first segment covered some of the ways the Royals aren't performing quite like we've grown accustomed to seeing and how it's making the fanbase slightly cranky. Or apoplectic. Depends on who you ask. And that's for a 9-4 (at the time of recording) team! What a country!

Our second segment veered a bit differently, as Jeff pitched a hypothetical player with a very special gift from the baseball gods, and Mike had to decide how best to use that player in a lineup.
