Senior MLB Writer at The Athletic and MLB Network Insider Jayson Stark joins the show to discuss one of the most newsworthy weeks we have seen from Major League Baseball in years. From Hall of Fame voting to a Free Agent frenzy and the imminent lockout! Stark takes us through his thoughts as he begins his voting process, remembers covering the 2003 World Series Run in an awesome conversation with Jeff and discusses the future of the game.

Jeff Conine and Aram Leighton recap the World Series after Niner correctly predicted Braves in six! Also, Jeff talks about facing the three headed monster that the Braves rotation featured for much of the 1990's (Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine). Big contracts: they rarely work out, but we keep giving them out; can we expect them to slow down? Lastly, some David Wright and Buster Posey talk.

We have a Game 6! Jeff Conine knows what it is like to be in the shoes of both teams, having come back from a 3-1 deficit against the Cubs in the 2003 NLCS and also closing out the Yankees on the road for a World Series Title. Niner recounts both situations and gives insight to what each team is feeling right now.

Jeff Conine and Aram Leighton talk about the exciting Wild Card Games, specifically the greatness of Max Scherzer and Adam Wainwright even when they don't have their best stuff.

A look at the NL MVP race. Should it be Bryce Harper or Juan Soto?

Lastly, a discussion on Ichiro. What made him so special on and off the field and where he stacks up all time.

As Aram adjusts to New York City, he asks Jeff what his transition was like after being traded to the Mets. Speaking of the Mets, they have been no strangers to the headlines after Javy Baez and Francisco Lindor booed their own fans. Jeff shares his thoughts on that. Also discussion around the inadequate minor league living conditions, what needs to happen for us to see an improvement?

Jeff walks us through the most difficult starting pitchers for him in his big league career. Oh yeah, and the guys he hit well off of too. After the marathon of a game between the Dodgers and Padres, Jeff talks about some of the longest games he was a part of. As Yadier Molina prepares for his final season, Jeff and Aram discuss just how special the Cardinals lifer has been.
