Summary

Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Angels blow a big lead and Shohei Ohtani hits a home run. Today we’re breaking down new developments in the Shohei Ohtani trade deadline saga and talking about how unbelievable it is that the Angels couldn’t get into the playoffs with two of the best players of all time. We also got Jared declaring the Phillies BACK, talks of a Blue Jays/Marcus Stroman reunion, a new induction to the Baines Meter class, Blake Snell dealing as of late, the Brewers sweeping the Reds, our dream lineup for a Legends Home Run Derby, and the BID parlay! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Wednesday!
