  • Ken’s great but…

    Ditch Alanna Rizzo who’s an unabashed Dodgers cheerleader. She’s also just not very informed. I’m assuming Ken is being told by higher ups that he has to do the show with her because I can’t imagine why a seasoned guy would hitch his wagon to such a lightweight.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rays surge, Mariners sinking, White Sox lead AL Central, Angels Trade Deadline golf outing
Q: Zachary Goldstein asks about Cubs vs. Brewers dynamics and if the Cubs could surge in the playoffs.
Rosenthal indicates the Brewers have been strong and don't show weakness, but the Cubs have played at a high level recently and could be a playoff force, though catching the Brewers may be unlikely this season.
Rays surge, Mariners sinking, White Sox lead AL Central, Angels Trade Deadline golf outing
Q: Zachary Goldstein asks why the Yankees' offense continues to struggle.
The host points to the absence of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and notes that removing a big-time hitter shifts the entire offense's balance, with other players not stepping up to compensate.
Rays surge, Mariners sinking, White Sox lead AL Central, Angels Trade Deadline golf outing
Q: MC asks why the Rays don't get more national media respect despite ongoing success.
Rosenthal argues that market size and visibility influence coverage, stating the Rays are respected by those who actually follow their season closely, with specific praise for their pitching rotation and strategic moves, though the market size affects broader attention.

Q: First question from Mike: why has Seattle still been so hesitant to trade players for offensive upgrades despite coming off a strong 2023 season?
Rosenthal explains that Seattle did trade Luis Castillo and did listen on other big names, but the bar for a package was high due to concerns about depleting starting pitching depth, and as a result they prioritized potential long-term impact over immediate upgrades.
Braves & Red Sox Rolling, Dodgers Slumping, NL MVP Race Heats Up
Q: Should PCA be given more weight than Ohtani in MVP discussions given his impact on the Cubs compared with Ohtani's overall star status?
PCA is delivering elite all-around contributions and is a strong case in a season where the Cubs are competitive; however, Ohtani's historic presence and dual-threat value keep him as the front-runner unless PCA continues to carry his team in a playoff push.
