In this episode: * Red Sox in full freak-out mode (and Parker's not holding back) * Royals: bad month or bigger problem? * The Astros wheels are FINALLY falling off * Mets and Phillies: is Carlos Mendoza next on the chopping block? * Why Alex Cora could become the highest-paid manager in MLB history * Are the Yankees and Rays the new AL East kings? * Why the White Sox are WAY better than The Athletic thinks * Reds vs. Cubs vs. Brewers: who actually wins the NL Central? * Pick to Click: Ben Rice vs. the legendary Ildemaro Vargas 🐐 👍 Like, 🔔 subscribe, and let us know in the comments — which team are you most freaked out about? #MLB #RedSox #Yankees #WhiteSox #AlexCora #RallyCap

Rob Thomson FIRED - Cora to the Phillies?

Another manager. Another firing. And the timeline of this one might be even wilder than the Cora situation. The Phillies just fired Rob Thompson and named Don Mattingly interim manager — and Dave Dombrowski openly admitted he'd already reached out to Alex Cora before pulling the trigger. Anthony and Parker break down what really happened, and why this firing looks completely different from what went down in Boston. In this episode: * Parker calls his shot: Cora's path to Philly (and why he turned it down — for now) * Why managers will line up to work for Dombrowski over Breslow * The Chaim Bloom / Breslow / Cora connection nobody's talking about * Was Don Mattingly hired as bench coach KNOWING this was coming? * Why Breslow's seat is white hot — and who replaces him * Can Dombrowski + Cora squeeze one more title out of the aging Phillies? * The first-ever father-son GM/manager combo in MLB history 🤯 👍 Like, 🔔 subscribe, and tell us in the comments — did Rob Thompson deserve to be fired? #Phillies #RobThompson #AlexCora #Dombrowski #MLB #RallyCap

MLB Weekly: Murakami the NEXT Schwarber?

Munetaka Murakami's Savant page looks like a video game — and Parker couldn't believe whose numbers it was outpacing. Anthony and Parker break down a wild week in baseball. In this episode: * Murakami's historic White Sox start (10 HRs in 24 games) — and the one weakness that could unravel it all * Why the White Sox might be one offseason away from real contention * Mets in freefall: 12-game losing streak, but is help on the way? * The team with the WORST run differential in MLB — and it's not who you think * Padres vs. Dodgers: is Lucas Giolito the X-factor? * Pick to Click: Kevin McGonigle vs. Elly De La Cruz * Parker's spicy hot take: Where Alex Cora REALLY lands next 👀 👍 Like, 🔔 subscribe, and drop your Cora prediction in the comments. #MLB #Murakami #WhiteSox #Phillies #Padres #RallyCap

The NEW Las Vegas Athletics' name?!

We might have just stumbled onto a MAJOR leak. While digging through the Athletics' official careers page, Anthony noticed something wild: multiple job listings — including Director of Brand — tagged under a name nobody's heard before… Las Vegas Black Fire. Is this the new name of the Athletics when they move to Vegas in 2028? Remember — back in December, the team was denied the "Las Vegas Athletics" trademark for being too vague. They need a new name. And "Black Fire" fits the black-and-gold Vegas sports aesthetic perfectly. Parker and Anthony break it down: * What's actually on the Athletics' job board right now * Why the December trademark denial matters * The black-and-gold branding angle (à la Golden Knights) * Why "Aces" was right there… and they didn't take it * Should we be making this video — or applying for the jobs?
