Summary

Tim Kurkjian and Buster discuss Cal Raleigh's pure strength, Aaron Judge dragging the Yankees back from the abyss, whether the Brewers or Phillies will clinch the No. 1 see in the National League, the Dodgers' disintegrating bullpen, the surging Guardians, the Red Sox missing Roman Anthony and the Blue Jays unleashing Trey Yesavage. Then, Hembo stops by to talk about whether Judge makes his list of five best right-handed hitters ever, Freddy Peralta being the most underrated ace in baseball, and the most frustratingly average team in baseball. During Bleacher Tweets, Buster talks about Ken Rosenthal tripping over Milwaukee's team photographer, and Jomboy addressing the reporting on Aroldis Chapman locating his inside fastball.
