Danny and Brett join me to break down all of the action from the first half of the MLB season and make some predictions for the second half! We start with Brett giving us a recap of his time attending the MLB All-Star festivities, including meeting one of his dad’s favorite pitchers. We also compare the in-person experience to the TV experience, and talk about the pros and cons of the swing-off.
Then, we get into our first half awards. So many players are having exceptional seasons, but we pick out the best of the best from each league. We get into some good analysis about Paul Skenes’ personality, when to make Cal Raleigh a full-time DH, and Zack Wheeler defeating Father Time. We also dish out both praise and critiques to players and teams that have upset us and/or surprised us.
We finish up with our division winner predictions. Will the Rockies shock the world? Probably not. Brett also makes a compelling case for the Charleston Riverdogs to let Danny throw out the first pitch. Tap in for that and more!
