In today's episode we talk about the Orioles paying up for their young 20 year old catcher Samuel Basallo, taking a look at how I would restructure MLB with expansion and division realignment, as well as Cal passing Salvy for the most home runs in a single season by a catcher and more. 

Kyle Tucker has continued to struggle since the All-Star break so Craig Counsell said he would be on the bench for a little while, turns out he's had a hairline fracture in his hand and had been playing though it. Interesting. Meanwhile Brewers became the first to 80 wins on the year and the Astros without Hader for a bit make a move and bring in Kimbrel for the bullpen. All this and more on what is a faster episode than usual. 

The Brewers end their win streak at 14, but is still a new franchise best. Padres enjoyed being first in the NL West for 1 day before getting manhandled by teg Dodgers and with the Brewers and Cubs about to tee of for a 5 game set, this feels like the last chance for the Cubs to have any hope for the NL Central Division and the 1st seed in the NL

What a week in baseball. The Brewers are now winners of 12 straight games and have a 10+ game win streak for the second time this season. The Mets slump continues losers of 13 of their last 15 games, and with the help of the Angels sweeping the Dodgers, the Padres were able to sweep their way past the Giants and into 1st in the NL West. This weekend is the real challenge however as Padres and Dodgers face off. 

On today's episode I took a dive down the rabbit hole of a dying era of pitchers, looking at guys like Scherzer, Kershaw and Verlander and how we may never see a big 3 like them again, meanwhile Jen Pawol made her history becoming the first female umpire in a MLB game. 

On today's episode we talk about the July players of the month, Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony gets a healthy extension not even 50 games into his big league career, the Blue Jays put on a display of offense in Coors vs the Rockies making history in the process and so much more to discuss today. 

The Yankees keep making mistakes in their games and its been costing them big time. Our first series post trade deadline provided some crazy action with even crazier results. As teams start to narrow down their players, the postseason race is on. 

What an incredibly chaotic and hectic trade deadline with so many wild moves that no one saw coming. Mason Miller, you are a Padre. Eugenio Suarez, you are a Mariner... again, Cedric Mullins, you are a Met, Carlos Correa, you are an Astro... again. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Plenty or trades and moves to talk about as we gear up for the dog days of summer. 

Wow wow wow Nick Kurtz game of his career. A 6 for 6 4HR game took the weekend news storm, but that doesn't mean it was the only thing that happened. More trades, new Hall Of Famers inducted, new addition to the betting allegations??? We've got a huge episode to wrap up the month of July. 

Our first couple of trades have happened as the D-Backs send Josh Naylor to the Mariners, the Orioles send Gregory Soto to the Mets, and a live reaction of Ryan McMahon going from the Rockies to the Yankees. How many more trades will happen before the deadline on July 31.
