The show gets an audience with "The Pope" Don Pall and discusses the mental and physical benedictions needed for a major league player to get through the second half of a season.  Will having a lead be better for players to stay focused, and is too much of a lead a good thing? Will the pitchers stay healthy?  Ten years in and out of major league bullpens gives a guy some insight, and a nickname bestowed from above makes for some interesting mail.
