We needed something new to talk about amidst the lockout and Dan Szymborski came through in a major way this week.

Fernando Tatis Jr. had an interesting trip on a motorcycle in the Dominican Republic. Major League Baseball and its players are not doing anything at all, interesting of otherwise.

Well, here we are. Major League Baseball entered its first work stoppage since the 1994 strike and this one could also take a while to sort out. Derek and Darnay share their thoughts on the situation and what Rob Manfred has wrong. Plus, the Padres serve as an example to a league full of teams who don't want - or know how - to compete. The guys also weigh in on the moves A.J. Preller made before the shutdown, and others that could be on the way.
