Summary

Aaron Judge has finally done it! He's now tied with Roger Maris for the most home runs in AL history. We're talking about how his home run record compares to Pujols', whether breaking 61 will make him the real home run king, and Jared's mom having more followers than Roger Maris Jr. Jared rips apart the Maris family, specifically Roger Maris Jr., for not letting Aaron Judge's family enjoy the moment and congratulating them on behalf of their father. We play the audio of Michael Kay's call and decide if he let the moment breathe or not (he didn't). With another major MLB record being broken, Twitter has gone into a frenzy about steroids and cheating in baseball. We examine why baseball is so heavily scrutinized for steroids compared to other sports. Joey has the balls to say that Aaron Judge is not doing steroids which is big of him. We move on to take a look at the current playoff picture and talk about what might happen down the stretch to change the matchups. Dallas is convinced that the Astros are coming out of the AL and the Brewers are making the playoffs. We end with a little NL MVP discussion and also talk about the video of Mike Trout walking by kids asking him for an autograph (kids that were set up by a professional baseball autograph seller).
