NCAAF: 

• The PAC12 is the PAC10 again, at least for now. And the Big10 is going to be about 10 states across.  USC and UCLA are moving out--did Lincoln Riley know when he took the job? What does this mean for OU and Texas? 
• Speaking of Texas, does Arch Manning's commitment mean they're back? How hot will the seat be for Ewers in ‘23? 
• The Elite 11 chose a winner this past week, and he didn't commit to Texas--no, he'll be going to our favorite rival of theirs. #boomer 

MLB: 

• The trade deadline is fast approaching--who’s buying/selling, and who are the key pieces to be moved? 
• Freddie Freeman’s agent didn’t give him the Braves final offer.  👀 
• The Nationals pick up Mike Rizzo's option for 2023?
• Manfred said his next goal is to end Blackouts. We're on board.

NFL:

• Gronk did it- again. Retiring as the best TE ever?

The Angels-Mariners brawl turns out to be a treasure trove of boyfriend activity including suspensions, pizza deliveries, giant tips for drivers, and another Abigail Situation. We break down Freddie’s no good very bad week. Pottymouth un-dumps Jerran Duran and puts dibs on Jonathan Araúz as a possible future bp. We say farewell to Lo Cain, welcome our As bfs to the show, and appreciate Raimel Tapia’s dramatic qHar reveal.  Kyle Tucker runs on PitchCom. Good humans this week include David Price, Joe Ross, and Liam Hendriks for speaking out on reproductive rights, and Max Scherzer treats the Rumble Ponies to a feast to remember during his re-hab stint. Note to Stras, you can do better than Chipotle.

The Senate Judiciary Committee reached out to Advocates for Minor Leaguers which signals movement on MLB’s antitrust exemption, the reason minor league players are allowed poor wages and conditions. A vote decided Oakland’s Howard Terminal is not a port after all, which means the As are not yet going to Vegas. The Padres released their City Connect unis this week and we are ready for the beach! We say “smells like wine, tastes like beer,” extreme Yankees exposure, and “temper the passion, protect the skull.”

Finalists for the All star voting revealed, we react to see if the fans made the right decisions. Freeman fired his agent over not hearing the braves final offer but his agent responded... Mike Trout seems annoyed a the Angels, does he want out? The first notable trade involving the Mariners happened this week. The biggest brawl of the season involving multiple multi game suspensions and the all star game finalists with a lot more on this episode of Pack the Brew!

It's a very special episode of 6-4-3 this week as I'm joined by my long time partner in crime, and former cohost of the Platinum Sombrero, Adam "Doc" Herbert! In our first episode back together since retiring the TPS podcast, we'll tackle everything going on with the Braves, including why it doesn't matter how good the Mets play, they're destined to be a footnote in the East for years to come.

Hall of Famer and Braves analyst Tom Glavine joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to talk about Freddie Freeman’s return to Atlanta over the weekend, and how to make adjustments in-game and in-season as a pitcher when things aren’t going well on the mound.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down an exciting night at Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays’ walked off the Red Sox 6-5. The guys discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s game-winning hit in the ninth inning, Alejandro Kirk’s clutch pinch hit appearance, and their confidence level in Toronto’s bullpen. Hall of Famer and Braves analyst Tom Glavine talks about Freddie Freeman’s return to Atlanta over the weekend, and how to make adjustments in-game and in-season as a pitcher when things aren’t going well on the mound (28:56).

The Braves took 4 out of 7 against the Giants and the Dodgers, but the story is all about Freddie's return to Atlanta. In a saga that somehow just keeps getting more and more heartbreaking, some breaking news today and a piece by Buster Olney has to have the Dodgers feeling some things they've never felt before.

The Braves drop game 1 against the Brewers in one of their worst offensive showings of the season, and things are not going well for the defending world champs. They'll look to even up the series in game 2 tonight behind a returning Tucker Davidson as the Braves square off against Adrian Houser.

Ronald Acuna Jr is eyeing his return in a couple weeks. Is he a fast healer or is he coming back way too soon to lead the team now that Freddie Freeman is gone? On the flip side of things, Mike Trout is battling a possible wrist injury. Is it time to hit the panic button for Angels fans and fantasy owners alike? Matt McLain recently hit a cycle on just seven pitches. This leads to a discussion on drafting prospects-- specifically the risks of drafting high school prospects over college prospects. The first week of fantasy baseball is in the books and the boys detail how their teams are faring in this week's Fantasy Factory. Steve answers listener questions and then picks his start or sit players of the week as well as important waiver wire pickups. The boys round out the show with Collection Corner.

Love that #jaelenphillips is mentoring incarcerated youth at the #browardcounty juvenile detention center. Their futures aren’t defined yet.  He’s working with the #verbkind a community outreach program headed by #haleyhunt which Philips wants to continue with the kids once they’re released.
  #joelembiid may not get MVP but could fuel a long playoff run.  But the Beard is going to have to step up.  
@warriors starting their own entertainment division. Up 2-0 on @nuggets and @stephencurry30 had 34 off bench last night.  #jordanpoole had 29.
  No @lukadoncic no problem.  FA to be #jalenbrunson had career high 41 to tie series with @utahjazz 1-1.  
@lululemon made #jrsmith an ambassador.  He’s playing #golf at @ncatsuaggies and wants to make the sport more accessible to underrepresented #minority players. Props to him.  
@clevelandbrowns made #denzelward the highest paid #cornerback in the @nfl but as we all know, not for long.
  #alexovechkin got his 48th goal last night for @capitals in win over @coloradoavalanche not bad for a 36 year old.  
Freddie Freeman first HR as a Dodger in his first at bat vs his former team the Braves. Can’t write a better script.

The Braves are on the move, heading out west to take on the Padres and the Dodgers after an opening homestand that left a lot to be desired. It's still too soon to panic, but nothing calms people down like winning. In other news, I take some time out of today's show to take a look at some early performers and get into the weeds regarding the early returns on the humidors installed in all 30 ballparks and why suppressing the flight of the ball may not be the best thing for MLB.
