Was the 2026 MLB All-Star Game one of the most boring Midsummer Classics in recent memory? In this episode, we break down why the game lacked excitement, from limited offense to the endless mic'd-up segments that sometimes felt more entertaining than the baseball itself.

One of the few bright spots was Pete Crow-Armstrong, who was mic'd up while patrolling center field. We react to some of his comments as he talked about the Bears, and what it's like playing on baseball's biggest stage. PCA's personality stood out, even if the game itself didn't.

We also discuss Willson Contreras' comments about potentially playing in the All-Star Game or Homerun Derby at Wrigley Field next season.

Was Nico Hoerner robbed of a stolen base?

The most controversial moment from the Cubs vs. Orioles game, Nico Hoerner was ruled out at second after a replay review, despite many believing Gunnar Henderson blocked the bag and forced Hoerner off the base. Cubs manager Craig Counsell didn't hold back after the game, calling the replay process "illogical" and questioning why the potential obstruction wasn't part of the review.

In this episode, Dan and Cody break down the play from every angle, explain the MLB replay rules, and discuss whether the umpires got the call right—or if the Cubs were denied a chance to tie the game in the ninth inning.

We also shift our focus to one of the biggest weekends of the year: the MLB Draft. With the trade deadline approaching and the organization looking toward the future, the Cubs are expected to prioritize pitching in the draft, according to Dan Kantrovitz, as they continue building long-term depth on the mound. We'll discuss the latest draft buzz and how Chicago's strategy could shape the franchise for years to come.

The Chicago Cubs kept their momentum rolling with a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, and veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd was the biggest reason why.

Boyd delivered one of his strongest outings of the season, attacking hitters with excellent command, changing speeds effectively, and keeping Baltimore's lineup off balance from the first pitch. His ability to work efficiently, limit hard contact, and pitch out of trouble gave the Cubs exactly what they needed as they secured an important road win.

On the offensive side, the Alex Bregman, Pete Crow Armstrong and Dansby Swanson provided timely run support, capitalizing on scoring opportunities and adding insurance late to back Boyd's outstanding performance. Combined with solid defense and a shutdown effort from the bullpen, Chicago put together a complete team win.

Cubs have now won back to back games with five games before the All-Star break.
