Chris Graham and Scott German explore.

Also on the show:

  • A total of 12 players, coaches and other staff was handed down suspensions from a Sunday fight in the Seattle Mariners-Los Angeles Angels game.
  • How about those suddenly streaking Baltimore Orioles?
  • Bryce Harper is out for at least the next six weeks with a broken thumb.
