Summary

We're LIVE in-studio with Jared and Jonny Gomes, with Dallas and Joey on zoom. Joey has discovered some never before listened to audio of Daryl Strawberry saying he wants to punch Dallas Braden in the face. We listen to the audio and get Dallas' live reaction. Then we move onto the continued infestation of possums in the Oakland Coliseum and talk about why Dallas keeps capturing and killing these possums. The Astros made history by hitting five home runs against the Red Sox which is only the eighth time that's happened in MLB history, though Jared doesn't think it's that impressive. We break down a hypothetical Mets/Dodgers NLCS and predict who would win and why. Taylor Ward is still the hottest hitter on the planet and shows no signs of slowing down, and Dallas questions if Mike Trout is now the third best player on his own team. Jonny shares some WILD international baseball stories, fight stories, Savannah Banana stories and rules, and talks about his upcoming trip to hit homers all over the world in Home Run Derby X. Enjoy!
