Eno and DVR discuss another busy weekend of baseball that included a sticky-stuff ejection for Mets' closer Edwin Díaz, the return of Max Scherzer to the Rangers' rotation, more injuries in the Marlins' starting unit, Giancarlo Stanton's quietly strong season before a trip to the IL, and much more.

Thank you guys so much

Just FYI i'm sure this has been addressed elsewhere but an Eno Serris clone is trying to scam people that are on the discord. Oh well, easy to see through. Love the cast dudes!

Eno going from sad to excited about turning 45 because Pedro wore it made me chuckle

I traded Hunter Greene for Bichette in a keeper league....the price felt pretty good but definitely still a bit nervous about Bichette.

Carroll was sitting against lefties for a string of games last year, he also had a minor injury on the 16th so it’s reasonable that he’s getting rest days vs. lefties. If he hits which he has been lately, he won’t sit vs. lefties.

Could it be as simple as Bo Bichette is playing hurt? A strained calf will nag without extended rest. Had neck spasms on March 31st.

Landon Knack, Colin Holderman, Daniel Schneemann, Austin Martin and Jacob Stallings

MJ wore #45 when he came back from his first retirement.
