Did you miss us?? We are back with a beefier episode than ever to cover the return of baseball post-All-Star break! 

1:28 - A lot of random Asians in Baseball news! The Montgomery Biscuits temporarily become the Montgomery Kimchi, there is an Asian in Baseball in Barbie, the Dodgers and Padres are going to Seoul, there are helllllla Asians in the Women’s World Cup, and Arjun Nimmala is selected by the Blue Jays with the 20th overall pick.

16:08 - Position players my GOODNESS. Yu Chang and Choi Ji Man are back, Macho Man is now amongst Red Sox royalty by surpassing a Ted Williams streak, Corbin Carroll is still raking and even making it to third on a strikeout, and boy oh boy are there some HOT bats here in the dead of summer. 

38:49 - Pitchers! The Blue Jays have a lot going on with the impending return of Ryu Hyun Jin, ALL STAR Kodai Senga continues to dominate, and Bryan Woo’s grandparents make a very special visit to see his start when the Mariners were at Oracle Park. 

57:05 - Ohtani Talk! His pitching could use the bump but he’s still blasting homers, we do a special segment to try to convince him to come to a random (or not-so-random) team, and we discuss the trade rumor mill…and how it seems like it’s a bit stalled out. 

1:29:47 - The trade deadline is rapidly approaching! Shintaro Fujinami makes a cross-country move to the Orioles, we discuss some non-trade roster moves, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for a couple of other potential trades for our guys.
