It's almost the All-Star Break! In this episode of Mid-Inning Relief, Marty Lurie, Carmen Kiew, and Ally Williams dive into this year's All-Star surprises and snubs, what they think about all the different rule changes over recent years, and who they'd like to see mic'd up during the game.

Finally, with all the talk about extending ballpark netting across Major League Baseball, they share their takes on the current debate.

In this week's podcast, Marty Lurie, Carmen Kiew, and Ally Williams discuss tempers flaring in baseball, player homecomings, and the chant that has quickly stolen our hearts (and humor)! Mickey Callaway and Jason Vargas go off on a reporter and receive fines for their actions in a rough season for the New York Mets, then Bruce Bochy shows his frustration after a missed replay call that potentially cost the San Francisco Giants the game. Were the coaches and player's reactions warranted?

The crew also goes over Albert Pujols' return to St. Louis over the weekend and share their thoughts on Giant homecomings they either remember fondly, or those they wish would happen. They also discuss which coach they would want to be on a team, and if the new Alex Dickerson chant should be kept inside the clubhouse.

This week, we're talking individual Giants, jobs at the ballpark, and Manny Machado. Marty Lurie, Carmen Kiew, and Ally Williams discuss what the San Francisco Giants should do with Steven Duggar during his struggles, whether Buster Posey is still a Hall of Fame candidate after his decline over the last couple years, and whether players like Brandon Crawford should be allowed to let their defense to make up for their offense.

They also go over the Manny Machado suspension and the Major League Baseball Umpires Association's response, updates from some minor league All Star Games, and what jobs we would choose if we could pick any position at the ballpark. Hint: we all want to be able to talk to people. Shocker.

We are back! After a short break, Marty Lurie, Carmen Kiew, and Ally Williams return to discuss topics surrounding the recent draft and upcoming All-Star Game. They give their thoughts on the San Francisco Giants' first round pick Hunter Bishop's self-comparisons to Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich and the pros and cons of potential prospects heading to college instead of declaring for the draft right out of high school. They also go over potential All Star surprises, players who are/were generally disliked but they enjoyed, and their take on the Madison Bumgarner/Max Muncy exchange over the weekend.
