Summary

Tim Kurkjian and Buster discuss Tim honoring his late brother Matt at Catholic University, if we'll look back at the last few days as the time that Juan Soto became a Met, Walker Buehler getting ejected and Aaron and Bret Boone exchanging lineup cards. Then Hembo stops by to talk about Juan Soto's passive approach at the plate, Mike Elias punting on pitching, the rise of Pete-Crowe Armstrong, the best closer in baseball, and Freddie Freeman somehow playing through an injury.
