Episode Details

Cal Raleigh’s plummet from MVP-caliber hitter to a struggling slugger with nine homers in 59 games sets the tone for a disappointing MLB season, as the American League’s playoff race crumbles with only six winning teams—three barely above .500—while the National League boasts nine. The Tigers, once division contenders, are nine games under .500 and blowing leads like nobody’s business, and the Yankees’ catching corps, led by Austin Wells, is a major offensive liability. Meanwhile, stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Padres’ Manny Machado and Tatis Jr. are having career-worst years, while the Nationals defy logic with a high-scoring offense and the worst bullpen in baseball. It’s a wild, uneven season as we head into the All-Star break.
