Craig reacts to the chippy Fever-Sun matchup and the WNBA’s decision not to issue any suspensions following the scuffles. While he understands Caitlin Clark’s frustration after getting poked in the eye, Craig takes issue with how she handled the moment — and more broadly, how she’s carried herself this season. He explains why he believes Clark is starting to toe the line between confidence and arrogance, suggesting she may be buying into her own hype in a way we didn’t see last year.

Craig opens the show reacting to the Nationals' 10th consecutive loss after falling 10-6 to the Rockies in Game 2 of their four-game set. With five of those losses coming against two of the worst teams in the NL, Craig breaks down where things have gone off the rails. Plus, he reacts to GM Mike Rizzo’s comments from his appearance on The Junkies, where Rizzo defended Davey Martinez amidst “Fire Davey” chants at Nats Park and addressed the state of the team’s ongoing rebuild.
