Summary

Jared leads off the show with a MAJOR announcement that you're not going to want to miss. Probably the biggest announcement he's ever made since starting his old podcasts. Jared and Jake were at Sunday Night Baseball and got a fair amount of screen time between Jared's DraftKings commercial and Jake's mediocre seats. We talk about Shohei Ohtani more than doubling the Marlins' average attendance when he took the mound in Miami... wild. The MLB All-Star starters were announced this weekend and we're breaking down each pick position by position and league by league. We talk about the guys who deserve to be there and whether the fans got the voting right, and we talk about the guys who were snubbed and should be there but aren't. More to come in Part 2!
