Bally Sports National MLB writer David Brown is back on the show and the guys talk about the Cubs recent resurgence and why Yan Gomes is ever allowed to designated hit. Seiya’s back and Andy has big plans for him but he’s going to need his pal Rob Manfred to use his powers to make it happen. Pete Crow-Armstrong is in the Futures Game which everybody thinks is great, and so is Darren Baker which pretty much only Dusty thinks is great. Andy comes up with a much better idea for All-Star Week than the amateur draft and once you hear it, you’ll be disappointed that it’s not already a thing. David has a solution to the lack of pennant races, and both guys have had it with the Manfred Mann in extra innings. They talk about better things to put on the back of uniforms than last names and relive the greatest World Series MVP presentation of all-time.
