Good weekend for the Tigers in Cincy. But it WAS just ONE weekend, despite the overreaction of announcers and reporters!

FIRST thing ya learn at umpire school? LAST guy to really know the rules of baseball is a PLAYER! Bob and Denny go at it.
JV is OUT for a period of time. In such a short season has this already doomed the Astros now with no Gerrit Cole either?
On vaca, Eli was NOT happy about our last show OR our guest. He challenges Denny and Bob on damn near everything!

For instance, Korean MLB could serve as a model for baseball to return. It’s had no outbreaks since resuming play.
