Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci begin with the blatant sign stealing happening in baseball.  Joe explains what teams can do about it and what reactions he's had about dealing with it.  Has the game become too polite? Tom points out how it's affecting the game and the lack of concern from teams stealing calls.  We turn to the Mets collapse and what issues they've faced down the stretch.  Tom also wonders what issues could haunt the Dodgers through September and the postseason. Plus, we note the passing of longtime player/manager Davey Johnson.  Joe recalls some of his memorable moments interacting with Johnson.
