No Bunts | NBA rules MLB could adopt
In this basketball-baseball mashup, Tas and Joel discuss what would happen if position players could re-enter the game after being subbed out. Or, if players and managers were ejected after receiving two 'technical foul.' Or, if there was a 'restricted area' around home plate. The fellas then debate MLB stars that could play in the NBA, and NBA players that could suit up on the field. All that, plus what MLB can learn from the NBA, whether a non-American can be the face of baseball, and Joel finishes off with some basketball-baseball hybrid trivia questions for Tas.

No Bunts | Legends Home Run Derby? Will Shohei ...
The 5 Best Things In Baseball This Week include the real prospect of a Legends Home Run Derby, Shohei Ohtani's quest for 60, the Naylor bros bashing bombs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continuing to hit home runs, and automated strike zone news. Tas and Joel then look back at some of their incredible (and horrible) 1st half predictions before looking ahead to some 2nd half storylines like underperforming teams that will bounce back, the Braves as the favorites, whether there will be a blockbuster trade, and more. All that, plus they debate the best start time for a game: 1pm, 4pm, or 7pm. *Today's episode is brought to you by: -Go to hellofresh.com/mlbshow50 and and use code MLBSHOW50 for 50% off plus free shipping! -Head to factormeals.com/mlbshow50 and use code mlbshow50 to get 50% off your first box. -LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.
