1. Michael Yordan: This flu game didn't go as well for the whole team, nor is the ALCS generally.
2. Don't Go to Pat's: Or throw first-pitch center cut fastballs to the Phillies. Anyway, the roast pork and broccoli rabe is the play.
3. Just Like Miami (Miami) Fucking Miami (Miami): Craig needs to listen to more punk music, Miami needs a new GM (and a POBO, maybe?)
4. Shipping Up to Boston?: Maybe Kim Ng will be, but not many others seem to be interested in the trip up I-95
5. A game Craig likes, but then doesn't like

1. The Philadelphia Story (on the record): Yeah, almost have this episode is about that series, there's a lot to go over.
2. Houston, We Don't Have a Problem: Shout out to the frisky and surprisingly strikeout-laden Twins, but the Astros are once again a problem (for the rest of the AL)
3. How Sweep it is: Things ended more quickly for the Dodgers and Orioles.
4. CS Previews: We drill down on the four teams and two matchups in the Championship Series
5. And then Patrick tortures us with a weird game.

1. NLDS Check-In: The Phillies steal one against Strider, while the Dodgers run out of pitching

2. ALDS Check-In: The Rangers lineup is too much for Baltimore, and the Astros/Twins series remains too close to call (For us or PECOTA)
3. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hoped the format would be better: What to make of rest vs. rust, byes, and the overall MLB playoff structure in Year Two.
4. Around the Horn: An ace hits the shelf, and a lot of front office and field staff shuffling already
5. Craig and Patrick try to identify the best players in franchise history for the NL this time.

1. Sorry We Missed You: San Francisco Giants: Catchign up with some teams we may have given short shrift to over the first 40 games. The Giants are still mostly the 2021 Giants.

2. Sorry We Missed You: Tampa Bay Rays: The Rays are extremely still the Rays, but might be running out of pitching.

3. Sorry We Missed You: Texas Rangers: Where do the Rangers go from here?

4. Around the Horn: Max Scherzer is hurt. Juan Soto is probably not being traded, and the Cardinals call up a pair of top prospects.

5. What to Watch: An NL West showdown, plenty of offense in the Bronx, and two change-up artists face off.

2. We will note that we recorded the Angels preview before Jo Adell started 0-8 with 6 Ks, but also before that oppo home run.

3. Seattle is a coffee town, but also needs to be a player development town.

4. The Rangers are still a year away.

5. The Athletics are...further than that.

1. The White Sox are very watchable by AL Central standards at least.

2. The new look Twins are difficult to peg

3. Cleveland did in fact extend Jose Ramirez shortly after this podcast was recorded.

4. Kansas City has a surprisingly good bar and a less surprisingly good third baseman.

5. This might be harsh on the Tigers, but their pitching is going to be the decider.

1. We aren't sure the Yankees are the best team in the division but they sure should hit a lot of dingers.

2. The Blue Jays are extremely watchable and also might be the best team in the AL.

3. The Red Sox segment spends more time on Bobby Dalbec than you'd expect.

4. PECOTA is out on the Rays for reasons we don't entirely get.

5. What can you say about the Orioles? Well, we will fill some time at least.

2. The Padres have a lot of starting pitchers and may need all of them.

3. R.J. has strong thoughts about Jake Junis on the Giants.

4. The Diamondbacks are boring, again.

2. The Cardinals are probably underrated a bit, but that pitching staff is questionable.

3. The Reds on the other hand have an interesting pitching staff, well at least until the trade deadline.

4. The Cubs are maybe a little frisky.

2. Fernandohno: Fernando Tatis will be out for months with a wrist injury. What do the
Padres do now?

3. I was a Freeman in Paris: Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman discussion, part one.

4. Ready to Transact: There were a lot of transactions, here are some of them

5. Rumor Has It: There's no way the Rockies sign Kris Bryant, right?

In Episode 196, Emma and Craig discuss five mostly baseball topics.

1. Brought to you by the number 6: The top remaining shortstop free agents have new homes. It's probably not where you expected (and one is no longer a shortstop)

2. I was a Freeman in Paris: Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman discussion, part two

3. Rocky Mountain Why Not: Apparently the Rockies could in fact sign Kris Bryant.

4. There is no such thing as a free agency: There were a lot of transactions, here are some of them

1. We are definitely a Mets Podcast: The Mets made the biggest splash, adding Max Scherzer on a record AAV, and remaking their lineup.

2. The payroll is bigger in Texas: They didn't spend the most money though, as the Rangers dropped a cool half a billion on a new middle infield, but might still have Leody Taveras batting fifth?

1. We’re still a Mets podcast, even though they didn’t play: Francisco Lindor signed a 341 million dollar extension with the Mets...barely.

2. Protocol Me Maybe: But you will have to wait for a bit to see him play for the Mets, as their opening weekend opponents, the Nationals, have a Covid outbreak.

3. Around the Horn: Some other contract extensions, and some actual Major League Baseball action.

4. Thanks I Hate It: There's a new score bug. We hate it.

5. What to Watch: Eventually the Mets, but there's some intriguing pitching matchups this weekend too.

1. The Dodgers can't win more than 104 games, right?

2. The Padres are good and fun in a different way than the Dodgers (and probably not quite as good)

3. The Diamondbacks are boring

4. The Giants are...well, they aren't exciting, but they might be interesting. Eh, maybe not.

5. The Rockies apparently offer a good, if pricey, margarita. You'll need it.

1. In a slight upset Bradford might prefer the pro wrestling heel Astros more than Jeffrey. Neither of us think they are winning 90 games though.

2. The Angels might actually have managed a "stars and average players" roster this year, which would be an improvement.

3. The Athletics have really nice uniforms and you can't take that away from them.

4. The Mariners might be good at some point this year after all relevant service time signposts have been passed.

5. The Rangers will not be good at any point, but do have good food options at the park.

1. PECOTA really, really, really likes the Brewers. Jeffrey is more neutral.

2. What if you built the entire Cubs pitching staff our of pitchers like Kyle Hendricks but not quite as good. Also, what if Jake Arrieta was there again?

3. The Cardinals might be the best team in this division, but they might not.

4. The Reds defense is appointment TV, but perhaps not in a good way.

5. The Pirates are not appointment TV.

2. Team Entropy: The AL playoff picture seems fairly settled at the halfway point, the NL one? Not so much

3. August and Everything After: What is the trade deadline going to look like this year?

4. Who ya got: There's no wrong answer, but Jeffrey definitely has an answer.

5. A Look Forward: A series with playoff implications, and a pitching matchup with trade implications

1. To Anyone I've Offended: Thom Brennaman said a anti-gay slur and gave a weird apology.

2. Let The Kids Play: Let's talk about some unwritten rules and some grand slams.

3. Protocol Me Maybe: Another team has multiple positive tests, and this is only the third topic because see title.

4. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!: We are about halfway through the season. Who's in and who's out?

5. A Look Forward: Pitching is the name of the very lightly researched game once again.

1. Protocol Me Maybe: Zach Please has a blog, the Cardinals are back on the field, and baseball has some more (new) guidelines

2. Around the Horn: The unbalanced schedule is leading to some bad nights for Red Sox pitching, and J.A. Happ had a meeting that could have been an e-mail, or something like that.

3. Weights and Measures: The ball is un-dejuiced?

4. Welcome to Planet Earth, a debacle: Well, we agree with the overall sentiment, Joe. Kelly, but maybe less so with the specific point you are making.

5. A Look Forward: Bradford likes finesse pitchers. Craig wants to see if the Dbacks have what it takes (to make the playoffs along with half the league).

3. The Red Sox man, the Red Sox.

4. The Blue Jays still do not have a place to play as of recording or publishing, or probably Opening Day,

2. The Athletics have very good uniforms, but the rest of the aesthetics aren't so good.

4. As usual we like the Rangers more than we should, and Craig definitely thinks Mike Minor is
for real.

1. The Washington Nationals are kind of boring as World Series champs go

2. The Mets are never boring, but might have a dearth of starting pitching for a change (this was even before Jacob deGrom tweaked his back).

3. The Braves are probably better than this (this was even before they signed Yasiel Puig).

4. The Phillies bullpen doesn't look so hot, but Spencer Howard is one to watch,

5. The Marlins are projected to win 27 games. This is apparently the worst thing to ever happen.

5. The Marlins are projected to win 27 games. This is apparently the worst thing to ever happen.

2. An Offer You Literally Can’t Refuse: This is the stupidest day in MLB history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in MLB history. Also, Craig should check Twitter less.

3. Bad Medicine: Even if baseball figures out the economics of a restart, there is the pesky matter of the ongoing global pandemic.

4. How Much Can One Playoff Round Cost, Michael? $10?: It's actually, uh, about forty million times that,

2. Minor Threat: Some teams are furloughing minor leaguers, some teams are cutting them, and a scant few are going to keep paying them, imagine that.

3. What we need right now are athletes: Pro athletes have been deemed essential, what does that even mean?

4. Bad Max: Max Kepler's excuse for his recent instagram posts doesn't really seem all that plausible.

1. Safety Dance: The Union and League continue to debate health and safety standards for a return to play, we assume they will get to the whole money stuff eventually.

2. The Rent is Too Damn High!: At least it is for the Athletics, who are paying about as much for the stadium as a three-bedroom in SoHo.

3. Furloughdown for the Letdown: Teams have begun to look at their June budget sheets, and it's not what you want (if you work for a baseball team).

4. The Next Last Dance: The Last Dance is the only sports we have, so we consider some baseball options.

5. Thanks I O'hate it: If you are doing some last-minute shopping for Emma's sister's graduation present, might we suggest Dale Degroff's The Craft of the Cocktail.

5. Take me out to the ballgame: We chat about an interesting slate of early season minor league promotions.
