Summary

Karl Ravech and Buster discuss how the Padres are measured by their performance against the Dodgers, Oli Marmol’s angry press conference, the Red Sox playing a lot better than expected, Brian Cashman taking blame for the Yankees’ woes, the Braves’ lack of blemishes and the Rays’ level of dominance. Then, Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom stops by to talk about his comfortability wearing a mic on the field, how Dansby Swanson makes it look easy, what he attributes to his start to the season, if he checks the flags at Wrigley and if he’s ever talked dancing with David Ross. Later, Todd Radom is back from South Korea to share his KBO experiences and to deliver the weekly quiz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
