We dive into the NL West, not the boring stuff about the Dodgers and the Padres but an analysis of the Diamondbacks and Rockies. The Reds are really really bad. Can the Angels keep this up? Red Sox bad. Mets good? Mailbag.

Then on the premium half (go to Patreon.com/BattingAround for access to this part of the episode and more) we talk about the Joe West podcast, the new Star Trek show, sending weapons to the IRA (PARODY! NON-ACTIONABLE!), and the Batting Around co-host union.
