Padres vs. Dodgers rivalry gets heated, Braves sweep Mets, CWS update & more
About this episode
There was no lack of drama at Chavez Ravine this week as an already heated intradivision rivalry turned the heat up even more. Ejections, players being hit, benches clearing and a walk-off home run were all sprinkled throughout the Dodgers and Padres matchup that saw LA take three of the four games. Jake and Jordan get into all of the drama from the series as they discuss the ejections of both managers, Tatis' injury, the Dodgers starting to look dominant again and more. Plus, the Dodgers' owner now owns another storied LA franchise, and the guys give their thoughts on the impact this may have on the Lakers.
While things are heating up in LA, they seem to be cooling off in NYC. Although the Yankees were able to escape a sweep by the Angels, the Mets did not get as lucky as they got swept by the Braves. The guys dive into the series and discuss if the surging Braves, led by Ronald Acuña Jr., are destined for the postseason and how the Mets can snap their six-game losing streak. Plus, Jake and Jordan talk about the Braves' Didier Fuentes reaching the MLB before his 21st birthday and what to make of the NL East.
Jake has returned from the Men's College World Series. He shares all that he saw in Omaha and the guys chat about the epic matchup of Coastal Carolina vs. LSU. Plus, Jake tells an amazing story from the aftermath of the Arkansas loss that you don't want to miss.
Finally, what does the Pope, Nick Castellanos and some men named Ryan have in common? The Good, The Bad & The Uggla of course! Everyone's favorite segment of the week drops the latest edition.
