This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony return to action and catch up on everything they missed from last week! They begin by reviewing the teams who saw themselves go on long streaks to begin June. These teams include the Braves, Phillies, and Yankees that saw excess winning and the Angels, Brewers, and A's that have seen better days. Once that's done, the two discuss the managerial situations in Philly and L.A. with the recent firings of Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi and if, perhaps, they'll be the only older managers relieved of their duties (*cough cough* Chicago *cough cough*). The duo laud Justin Verlander for becoming the active strikeout king, mourn the lost seasons of three players to Tommy John Surgery, and question the state of the Marlins clubhouse, specifically surrounding Jazz Chisholm. They close it out with a little Deep Drive about a poorly timed tweet by the Chicago Cubs to put a cap on the 30th episode of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
