Eno, Trevor, and DVR are full of surprises for Thursday's episode as they discuss the comebacker that disappeared in Mariners' starter Logan Gilbert's jersey, the upstart Cincinnati Reds, and Juan Soto's baffling comments on not texting with his Mets teammates during their recent road trip. The guys close out the show by highlighting three players who they didn't expect to have so much success this season: Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker, Cardinals reliever Riley O'Brien, and Padres starter Randy Vásquez.
