this week in baseball

Mike Rizzo is back in for the Nationals, and Chaim Bloom is out for the Red Sox. Cole Ragans fell down for and on the Royals, and a knuckleballer finally reappeared and got a win in MLB.

Have you ever pondered the paradox of the LA Angels - a team struggling despite housing the sport's finest player for nearly a decade? We unpack this baseball enigma and explore the Hall of Fame candidacy of Zach Greinke. We also weigh in on Ohtani's potential return (NOT) to the Angels and the possible teams vying for a Trout trade.

We love Pablo Lopez and Luis Arraez and examine the trade between the Twins and the Marlins. Plus, with new pace of play changes causing a buzz, we analyze how this has increased sports fans' engagement. Last but not least, we wrap up with a review of the divisions already clinched and a forecast for the wildcard races.

What was the signature moment of the past week in #MLB? Was it Alex Cobb's near no-hitter?  Bryce Harper's 300th HR?  Ronald Acuna's 121.2 MPH home run - the hardest hit ball in 5 years?  We talked about all of those and the state of the races in all the divisions in our weekly TWIB update!

We often discuss historical aspects of baseball and we love doing that, but we're fans and we watch what's going on in baseball at the moment.  So this week we're starting a weekly Monday wrap-up show on what happened in MLB last week.  We will try to keep it to 15 minutes and of course we will drop our regular episodes on Thursday as always.
