In Episode 543, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig indulge in a lot of banter (and a taste test) and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Skubal Dooby Doo, Where Are You?: An update on Craig and Jeffrey’s confidence in the 2026 Tigers. Plus, Framber Valdez throws a four-seam fastball.
2. Sorry We Missed You: Arizona Diamondbacks: The first in a survey of forgettable .500 teams
3. Sorry We Missed You: Texas Rangers: Okay, the AL has a lot of forgettable .500 teams, but we’ve talked about most of the rest.
4. Around the Horn: Injuries, relatable and not
5. Craig doesn’t get mad about the game, not at all.
