Summary

Speaking of the Angels, the Baltimore Orioles now have a better record than them which gets us talking about how the entire AL East should make the playoffs and no one from the AL Central should be allowed in. Shohei hasn't allowed an earned run since June 9th and a lot of people are calling him the best athlete in the world, but he's still extremely underrated. Kyle Schwarber has been mashing and the Phillies are now tied for a playoff spot. We wrap up the show talking about the debate on who should be the NL All-Star starting pitcher; Tony Gonsolin or Sandy Alcántara. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Ooh.
0:01.3	I thought you were going to talk about fucking Clemens kid.
0:04.1	Cody.
0:04.5	No, no.
0:05.2	He's,
0:05.4	he's been hitting some tanks.
0:07.3	That's great.
0:10.6	Michael Cabrera and the machine are headed to Hollywood.
0:17.4	They're coming with us.
0:18.7	Thoughts on these fellows going to the All-Star game.
0:21.0	I, and I've said this, we've got to figure out a way.
0:24.5	And I don't know if it's something that's overlooked, not not weighted a ton, whatever.
0:28.6	But if All-Star game votes or excuse me, All-Star game nods and appearances are something that can actually impact a guy's earning power,
0:38.9	then I think we have to figure out a way to balance the fan vote and actual production
0:45.8	and making sure that the guys who do produce are rewarded as well,

1:16.3	two three-time all-star but not having a good year he doesn't have to be an all-star we know he's
