This week in baseball we had our first manager firings of the year. Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi both got canned this week after both their teams went through some bad stretches. The Angels lost 14 in a row and the Phillies have been flat out uncompetitive and needed a shake up. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani have been ice cold during that stretch but you know who hasn't been? Marcus Semien. He's back in a BIG way after struggling to start the season. Plus, the Dodgers pretty much discovered a position player pitching rule. Wild. Lets go.

This week we're talking about the Yankees hot streak and why their team finally looks like its built to make a run at the championship. Both NY and LA Teams are in first which has the cities hyped. Madison Bumgarner lost it during a routine sticky substance check with an umpire even though they have become substantially less invasive. On the Ohtani watch, he is absolutely shoving on the mound and has cooled off at the plate. Plus, Aaron Judge quite possibly gave a young fan the greatest moment of his life this week. Talking about these things and much more on this episode. Buckle up.

This week Shohei Ohtani dominated on the mound and at the plate. Miguel Cabrera approaches the 3,000 hit mark. Hunter Green looked phenomenal on the mound while Gerrit Cole and the Yankees struggle. The NL West started out hot and the Mets look like they are for real.
