Summary

In a shocking turn of events it turns out that Mike Trout is the commissioner of the Tommy Pham/Joc Pederson fantasy football league. This leads to discussion on whether Mike Trout is a reliable commissioner or not. It also spawns the creation of a Baseball Is Dead fantasy football league. We also talk about the Astros starting the year at 7-9 but having the best record in baseball since, Joey Votto dropping below .300 for his career batting average, the Padres releasing Robinson Canó, Mookie Betts being red-hot, and a lot more! As promised, we also are taking voicemails from Phillies fans who just need someone to talk too. Enjoy!
