Summary

ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Rich break down the first month of the MLB season including the red-hot start by the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees, if the vastly underachieving Mets can turn things around and save manager Carlos Mendoza’s job, and why the ABS Challenge System has been great for baseball and umpiring this season. Rich and the guys react to Fernando Mendoza’s first weekend with the Raiders at their recent OTA in his first steps toward winning Las Vegas’ QB1 job over Kirk Cousins. To celebrate Star Wars Day, Rich and the guys discuss their favorite characters from the franchise, and debate if Miami Dolphins fans should be concerned after new QB Malik Willis badly airmailed his first pitch at a Marlins game over the weekend.
