Well that was fun! The brothers try to catch their breaths after Heliot Ramos' wild run around the bases as they break down the Rangers series. Later they reflect on the first 1/6th of the season (I'm not calling it a month, no matter what Ben says); what went well, what could be better and what it means for the rest of the season.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
