Welcome to No Bunce, the show for the casual baseball fan.

0:19.2

I'm Tassmellis, with me here. Ready to turn the double play. It's the bearded one. Trey Kirby. Hey, yo! Hey, yo! Yeah, slapping the glove. It's a sunny day here in the studio. That's right. We're ready. Making the magic happen over there. It's JD. Hello. What's up, J.D. What's up, Davey?

0:37.9

We're ready to go.

0:55.4

So ready. Celebrated the Midsummer Classic this week. Oh, love it. Love it. There's a lot to celebrate. The home run derby, you dress like that. We had a good All-Star game. We had a good All-Star game, I should say. I say turn two because that's the thing that kind of sticks out in my brain from the All-Star game.

0:58.2

That first inning flip behind the back there.

0:59.3

A little bit of a web gem.

1:02.0

Love to see a web gem.

1:03.4

First inning, Web gem.

1:09.4

That seemed to be like the highest form of baseball we saw last night in the All-Star game.

1:33.6

I don't know how often you see a behind-the-back turn at second base, but who was that? Was that Jimenez, I believe, from the Guardians maybe made the play there behind second base. That was nice. Really, really nice. 4-6-3, baby. We're going 4-6-3 with the three of us today. We're going to celebrate, yeah, the All-Star game, the home run derby. Kenny Beachham, King of the fourth quarter is coming on a little bit later because he got to throw out a first pitch at a White Sox game recently.

1:40.2

I'm going to introduce a new segment called What the Hell is this baseball stat a little bit later?

1:41.8

So we've got a lot going on.

1:45.3

So we won't get to the top five things in baseball this week, which we introduced last week. And I just bring that up because I want to thank everyone

1:48.8

out there for sending it specifically a clip of a baseball field in Finland that's flanked by a river.

1:56.3

And when a ball is hit down the right field line, the right fielder has a chance of sliding into the river.

2:02.4

And so that happened. That happened. I want to thank everybody for sending in that clip. Keep sending

them in. No dunks at theathletic.com. Hit us up on Twitter, no dunks, Inc. I also bring that up because I want to talk about the shift, which could be shifting next season. Read about it on The Athletic. I'm sure we'll talk about it next week. That's very interesting to me as a fan who likes balls going up the middle. Love a C&I single. Damn straight. They were talking about the broadcast yesterday. Smoltsy was talking about the broadcast yesterday. So we'll get to that probably next week. Look, I got to interrupt you here. I got to agree with John Smoltz. They shouldn't be shifting in an all-star game. Come on. We want to see hits. That's why the National League didn't get a hit last night for, I don't know, four or five innings straight. Like seven innings or something. Play us straight up here. come on give me that pie pie slice behind second base. Am I right, Jason Stark?

2:53.2

That's right, baby. The pie slice is coming to the minor leagues. We'll talk about that next week, I'm sure.
