Raja Bell is joined by David Samson as the duo covers two MLB teams trending in opposite directions, discussing the historic pace and greatness of the Red Sox, and the Dodgers disappointing results since acquiring Manny Machado at the All-Star break. Raja and David then react to Aaron Rodgers' backtracking on comments calling out teammates, the Giants playing it smart with Saquon Barkley, Jim Furyk's reluctance to commit to Tiger for the Ryder Cup and bat flip apologies. On Off the Bench we discuss the possibility of Carmelo coming off the bench in Houston, and the concept of star athletes' accepting new roles as their careers progress, as longtime ace Felix Hernandez has been moved to the Mariners bullpen. Summer Reading with Raja covers an epic Kobe diss from Raja's mom, as both Bell and Samson share their transition from being in locker rooms and front offices into the media world and the struggles with that switch. Hana tells us that the NBA dominates on social media, which we knew, the guys tell us why. Finally, Leftovers!
