Episode Separation Anxiety As MLB Trade Deadline Pressure Is Here

0:00 59:41

Jacob Misiorowski was rolling again Sunday, striking out 11 of the first 12 batters he faced. Eno and DVR discuss The Miz’s ongoing dominance and prepare for the return of Ronald Acuña Jr. to the Atlanta lineup. Should Acuña’s increasing injury history significantly lower his playing time projections in the future? Plus, Spencer Nusbaum joins the show to discuss the trade that sent Curtis Mead to the Red Sox and brought Connelly Early to the Nationals, as well as a few young starters getting closer to contributing in Washington.
