In Episode 551, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about the World Cup and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. FRAUD WATCH: Craig gets irritated in the first segment rather than the last one
2. Aaron on the side of caution: The Yankees might (are going to) be without their best hitter for a bit. Can they still catch the (fraudulent?) Rays
3. Around the Horn: Nick Castellanos is out of a job, Jo Adell uses his head, and Aidan Miller needs a working back.
4. What to Watch: It isn’t a good schedule, but it isn’t a bad one either.
5. A mostly successful lightning round?
