Summary

Jared, Dallas, and Joey are back to break down one of the craziest sports stories of the year so far. Tommy Pham confronted and proceeded to slap Joc Pederson for allegedly disrespecting his teammates in a group text over fantasy football. The guys give their takes on the bizarre incident and try to figure out what was going through Pham's head when he made the decision to slap him. Jared is being very careful about what he says since the Reds are in town to play the Red Sox this weekend so Tommy Pham could be lurking around the streets of Boston as we speak. Other topics today include the situation going on in Philadelphia and how Joe Girardi might be able to fire up the boys, the A's selling $4 DIY hot chocolate and Dallas opening baseball cards during the broadcast, Lindor refusing to pay for Shakira to come perform for Buck Showalter, a look at the current playoff picture and a breakdown of the expanded playoffs, Dallas Keuchel being DFA'd, and a whole lot more!
