The Angels blew a four-run lead and got walked off in the bottom of the ninth to lose their 11th consecutive game last night. We open the voicemails to Angels fans who need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to yell at. The Red Sox swept the A's over the weekend which should mean that Dallas has to clean Jared's apartment in a maid outfit, but Dallas looks like he's going to try to weasel his way out of it. The Braves are also back over .500 and Joey gives his thoughts on the recent hot streak...

In a shocking turn of events it turns out that Mike Trout is the commissioner of the Tommy Pham/Joc Pederson fantasy football league. This leads to discussion on whether Mike Trout is a reliable commissioner or not. It also spawns the creation of a Baseball Is Dead fantasy football league. We also talk about the Astros starting the year at 7-9 but having the best record in baseball since, Joey Votto dropping below ...

Jared, Dallas, and Joey are back to break down one of the craziest sports stories of the year so far. Tommy Pham confronted and proceeded to slap Joc Pederson for allegedly disrespecting his teammates in a group text over fantasy football. The guys give their takes on the bizarre incident and try to figure out what was going through Pham's head when he made the decision to slap him...

The guys are back and this week we're breaking down the official "Most Hated Players In Baseball" list based on negative tweets about said players. Dallas and Joey are questioning the legitimacy of the list due to some of the star-studded names that appear near the top. Ronald Acuña Jr. is hurt again and Joey gives his take on how it affects the Braves...

It was an eventful series in The Bronx this past weekend as Josh Donaldson was accused by Tim Anderson, Tony La Russa, and others of making a racist comment to Anderson. Donaldson maintains that he was referencing an interview in 2019 in which Anderson was quoted as saying, "I kind of feel like Jackie Robinson." Jared, Dallas, and Joey give their takes on the situation and speculate on whether this was a racist comment or an inside joke/jab at Anderson...

We're LIVE in-studio with Jared and Jonny Gomes, with Dallas and Joey on zoom. Joey has discovered some never before listened to audio of Daryl Strawberry saying he wants to punch Dallas Braden in the face. We listen to the audio and get Dallas' live reaction. Then we move onto the continued infestation of possums in the Oakland Coliseum and talk about why Dallas keeps capturing and killing these possums...

If you thought Albert Pujols already accomplished everything there is to accomplish in his baseball career, you were wrong. This weekend he added pitching to the list as he closed out a game against the Giants who took no issue with him pitching as they're publicly against unwritten rules. Jared commented on the Phillies blowing the last game of the series against the Dodgers and fans were all up in Jared's mentions since the Phillies won the first three games of the series...

Reid Detmers no-hit the Rays in his 11th big league start and the boys are STILL fired up in LA. Brett Phillips gets another appearance on the mound and Dallas questions if his shine as the American Shohei Ohtani has died out at this point. The Blue Jays are off to an underwhelming start based on how much preseason hype their lineup got. Christian Yelich hit for the cycle for the third time in his career which bodes well for Jared's Comeback Player of the Year prediction...

Joey called it... the boys are fired up! Joe Maddon's Angels have gone 16-7 since the infamous intentional walk with the bases loaded. The Braves look like they may be turning a corner and are definitely the only chance of our teams collectively finishing above .500. The Red Sox were swept by the White Sox over the weekend and the A's just lost their ninth straight game on Sunday, so it looks like the Braves will have to win at least 100 games to get that done...
