Summary

Tim Kurkjian and Buster discuss the best locker room players and managers they’ve covered in their careers, the NL and AL Central gaining strength, the soft bottom third of the Dodgers’ lineup, Peter Fairbanks’ salty postgame press conference, and Tim’s memories of Whitey Herzog. Then, the Pirates’ Rowdy Tellez stops by to talk about defending David Bednar after a rough outing, when he decided to jump in during the media scrum, his role models as a young player, and how good Pittsburgh can be in 2024. Next, Todd Radom shares this week’s Ballpark & Beyond, and administers the quiz. Later, Sarah Langs on Tanner Houck’s 1 hour 49 minute outing, Jack Leiter making his major league debut, the Orioles mashing home runs, and if is the best version of Mookie Betts we’ve ever seen.
