Pack of 7: What's the Deal with the Dodgers?; Will Judge Be October Ready?

Jorge Castillo and Buster Olney discuss what is going on with the Dodgers and Mark Walter, why Walter needs cash, the real reason the Dodgers are all-in on this season, how Shohei Ohtani should leverage the situation, Yankees pitcher Max Fried heading to the IL, if Aaron Judge can be Aaron Judge in October, and Mets owner Steve Cohen speaking to the media about a disastrous season. Then, Hembo stops by to talk about whether an American League team with a sub-.500 record will make the postseason, how to improve an already very good challenge system in MLB, nobody watching Orioles slugger Pete Alonso mash, Braves ace Chris Sale entering a new stratosphere, how Pete Crow-Armstrong’s season is even better than Hembo realized, and why every dynasty needs a Max Muncy. Then, Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game. Later, Buster answers your questions during Bleacher Tweets. 0:00 Welcome 3:00 Jorge Castillo joins 3:38 What’s going on with Mark Walter and the Dodgers 5:35 Dodgers all-in because of overall uncertainty? 8:26 Dodgers’ off-field advantages could be trimmed 10:38 Shohei Ohtani should use this as leverage 14:27 Yankees Max Fried to the IL 16:06 Will Aaron Judge be ready for October? 18:45 Mets owner Steve Cohen speaks on rough season 20:30 Cohen says he’s committed to GM 23:38 Hembo joins 23:54 Will a sub-.500 AL team make the postseason? 27:57 Orioles Pete Alonso home run ruled foul 30:01 Challenge system works, how to make it better 34:56 Alonso is hitting, no one cares 37:55 Braves Chris Sale entering a new stratosphere 41:26 Pete Crow-Armstrong’s crazy play at Wrigley 44:34 Max Muncy enhancing his Dodgers legend 49:28 George Lombard Jr. is a top-6 shortstop already 50:08 Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game 51:20 Bleacher Tweets EMAIL THE SHOW: BleacherTweets@gmail.com REACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS Follow The Baseball Tonight Podcast on… YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL6O-A-ASmSMwbSCFvPKEq1Cslo_lrw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FG6xCcd338SgZjZ9urHRI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baseball-tonight-with-buster-olney/id137699414 Learn more about your ad choices.
