Summary

Dallas is in Boston this week watching the Red Sox absolutely curb-stomp the A's and he has some pretty strong feelings about a particular establishment he visited last night. The Braves are FIRED UP and have won 14 straight against the worst teams in baseball. Joey gives his take and talks about where they might stand at the end of the season when the Mets go through a similar stretch in mid September. There were two immaculate innings in the same game with the exact same three guys at bat each time. Dallas thinks it's crazy and Jared doesn't care. We also talk about Dave Roberts being put in really tough scenarios where he has to decide between letting pitchers try to achieve huge milestones or protecting them from injury and preserving their careers. More in Part 2!
