Peter and Jack discuss Joey Votto's retirement and Scott Servais' firing/Perry Minasian's extension before diving into a mailbag!

1. What wildcard/team in the hunt have the best starting rotation left? - @lildj227 on X
2. When was the last time we saw an offensive duo like Judge and Soto carry a high performing offense on their own at such a high level? Who are some of the greatest hitting duos of all time? - DylanWinick32 on X 
3. Which non-Hall of Fame enshrined player from each contender’s history would you add to make them a World Series favorite? (No steroids, must be retired) - MerchenJack on X 
4. Out of all the trade deadline trades, which trades do you think have worked out the best, and which ones have worked out the worst? - @painttheblackbb on X
5. How do we feel about abs system for determining strikes or balls? Should we keep umpires back there with an ear piece and then calling strikes? Or just the pitcher and hitter get one challenge an inning? Or 1 every at bat? I hate how crucial moments in innings are killed by bad calls or that 2-0 pitch that is a ball, ump calls a strike - @f.e.w._iv on IG
6. Who of the team that are contenders/competing for a playoff spot could be rebuild candidates within the next couple years? - @tommy_hone on IG
7. With the apparent success of relievers turned starters, like Seth Lugo and Garrett Crochet, and vice versa, like Mason Miller, who’s next? (Majors or Minors) - @leggin02 on IG
8. Who’s been the biggest dissapointment in their sophomore season? - wide.set.ryan
9. Top 5 sneaky bald players in MLB - @peytonginas on IG
