Episode 445: All-Star Festivities lit up Philadelphia and gave us potentially one of the best Home Run Derbies of all time. The new rules and format changes are put under the microscope as Jared, Tyler, Jay Hay, and Dallas share their love for the updates and the improvements to Netflix’s presentation.

The American League’s 4-0 victory over the National League turned out to be a surprising snoozer of an All-Star Game. Cody Bellinger took home MVP honors, but not before Dallas made his case for the only player who reached base twice in the game: Shea Langeliers.

The guys also break down a story that dropped in The Athletic involving a frequent listener of the show, along with their first-half MVP and Cy Young winners. Tap in for Jay Hay’s Hot Fresh Award-Winning nugs, and tune in Friday for BID Feud and a full look around every division in baseball at the conclusion of the first half of the season.
