| 0:17.3 | We take a look at some of the big fantasy takeaways from the weekend, lots of news, lots of injuries, unfortunately, and some more turmoil on the closer carousel. It was |
| 0:26.2 | not a surprise, but a change in the Bronx has been made, at least temporarily with their ninth |
| 0:33.7 | inning plans. Got a bunch of great mailbag questions that have come in through our Discord. |

That's like a real sour note, too, because they're worried it's a long-term injury. Yeah, that'd be a huge bummer. But we are not a hoops show. |
| 1:44.8 | Check out no dunks. |
| 1:45.5 | Check out the athletic basketball show if you want to follow the NBA playoffs in greater detail. |
