Summary

The AL Wild Card race is tightening up big time, partly due to José Altuve’s insane hot stretch including hitting 3 HRs in 3 innings last night. The Rangers find themselves outside of the playoff picture for the first time all season so we’re discussing what went wrong and whether they have any fight left. We’re also diving into the NL Wild card race and deciding which teams we think will prevail among the six teams still in the mix. Other topics include Justin Steele’s impact on the Cubs, Julio Urías being arrested and his future in MLB, Terry Francona saying “it’s time” in terms of managing in baseball, an Ohtani injury update, Rendon still ducking questions from reporters, and more. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
