PHENOM: Pete Crow-Armstrong FUELS Cubs and Joins MVP Race Jul 10, 2026

Show notes

Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong makes history as the first MLB player this season to reach both 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases—can his dynamic play spark a deep postseason run at Wrigley Field? Brett Chansey and Mike Stanton examine Crow-Armstrong’s evolution into a five-tool superstar, comparing him to Cubs legends like Ernie Banks and Sammy Sosa while questioning if his six-year, $115 million deal is already a franchise steal.

The episode explores why high strikeout totals no longer hinder MVP hopefuls like Kyle Schwarber, spotlighting MLB’s changing priorities from batting average to OPS and power. Major League Baseball also faces a seismic shift as seven veteran umpires, including high-profile names like CB Buckner and Laz Diaz, prepare to retire amid increased scrutiny and the rise of ABS technology. Will the next generation of officials and hitters redefine the modern game?

BATTLE: Brewers, Cubs, Cardinals, and Pirates VIE for NL Central—Who Will Add? | Back to the Bullpen Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

National League Central contenders prepare for a trade deadline showdown as four teams push above .500—will the Milwaukee Brewers' quiet dominance finally pay off in October? Tensions rise as the Brewers, Cubs, Cardinals, and Pirates all seek rotation and bullpen upgrades, with names like Tarek Skubal, Sonny Gray, Michael Wacha, Joe Ryan, and Aroldis Chapman at the center of swirling trade rumors. Are the Cubs’ roller coaster performances sustainable, and will the Pirates’ pursuit of a shutdown closer make them wild card threats?

The conversation focused on Ryan O’Hearn’s historic 10-RBI, three-homer game for Pittsburgh, highlighting just how much individual stars can still shift the playoff picture. Analysis covers the Cardinals' cautious approach to high-profile deals, the Reds’ likely decision to sell, and the fate of Tarek Skubal as a top trade target. Can these NL Central squads outbid each other, or will contenders like the Dodgers and Rays swoop in for the season’s biggest prizes?

WHAT IF? Babe Ruth with the A's or Reds? Satchel Paige's Prime in MLB? Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

Babe Ruth nearly became a Philadelphia Athletic or Cincinnati Red—how would baseball history look if the all-time slugger never wore a Yankees or Red Sox uniform? Sully explores two of the sport’s most staggering what-ifs: Ruth’s almost-transfers on July 7, 1914, and the enduring questions around Hall of Fame pitcher Satchel Paige’s late entry to MLB due to segregation. Could Ruth’s legend have thrived outside Boston and New York, or would another icon have filled the void after the 1919 Black Sox scandal?

Satchel Paige’s impact and mythical status rise to the spotlight as Sully imagines an integrated major league during Paige’s prime. Would Paige have dominated the World Series the way Walter Johnson did for the Washington Senators? Plus, a shoutout to Dan Gladden’s unforgettable contributions to the Minnesota Twins’ World Series history—underscoring how a single player can define championship moments. Baseball’s fragile legacy hinges on the smallest twists of fate.
