Recap of the American League from the past week. There were some memorable performances including Kenley Jansen of the LA Angels of Anaheim recording the 450 and 451 saves of his career. Then we go over the standings and some of the may surprise you.

Recap of the National Leagues from the past week. Jose Quintana makes history with the Brew Crew and the LA Dodgers break a record. Cubbies are leading the NL Central, Braves are in the cellar and the Dodgers are in third!!! What is going on in the National League?

There were some big hits on the IL this week. Some teams are hopeful and optimistic while the Cubs, Rangers, and Orioles are in a little trouble and need to start figuring out solutions pretty quick.

The old timer Pops gives us a rundown of Tigers vs Yankees and Rangers vs Mariners. Slay Dude talks about big matchups in the NL East and AL Central. And Adam drops some knowledge about BoSox vs Jays and Cubbies vs Dodgers.

California Love. Who really is the best team in Cali? Friars, Dodgers, Giants? Do the Halos or Athletics even belong in this conversation?

Man of Not So Steele. Justin Steele goes on the IL with season ending elbow surgery. How bad is the outlook for the Cubs and what do they need to do to overcome it?

Cal Raleigh gets a nice contract. Is this a good deal for a power hitting, run producing catcher that is a platinum glove candidate every year? $17M per year sounds like a steal to me.

The art of defense is gone. The days of Ozzie Smith and Roberto Alomar, Jr. are behind us. Teams have to get back to the basics and start catching the ball and making the routine plays. You would be hard pressed to find a world champion that did not perform exceptionally on both sides of the ball.

Are robots going to be taking over the Major Leagues? After a couple less than desirable performances from the American League umpires, it might be a welcome change. Mark Rippinger calls a "perfect game" for just the 2nd time in history!

Congrats to Kenley Jansen for recording the 450th and 451st saves of his career. Surely he's bound for Cooperstown.
