Benches CLEAR after controversial slide, Buehler’s “accidental” early exit, Strider nearly traded?

Jermaine Dye used to call pitches from the dugout?! (Top of show) AJ and Kratz have some stories of unlikely personnel making big decisions.

(5:34) Benches cleared between the White Sox and Pirates after Brandon Lowe took exception to Sam Antonacci throwing a bit of his elbow into Lowe while sliding into second base. Bush league or legal?

(20:01) Bryce Harper has lost 9 of his 14 first-inning challenges. He’s challenged in the first inning as a batter more than 18 teams have.

(21:56) Brandon Sproat’s four walks in the ninth inning with the Brewers up seven runs sparked blunt criticism from Pat Murphy. The Brewers optioned the flamethrower shortly afterward.

(23:49) Craig Stammen appeared to lose track of how many mound visits he used in the third inning, resulting in Walker Buehler’s early removal. Stammen revealed postgame what actually happened.

(30:37) Anthony Volpe was recalled after Jazz Chisholm Jr. landed on the IL. What does his replacement, George Lombard Jr., think of his return?

(33:15) Jose Altuve reached 2,500 hits. Can he make it to 3,000?

(35:37) The Braves discussed trading Spencer Strider to the Rangers in a deal for Jacob deGrom at the trade deadline?!

Hosts: AJ Pierzynski, Erik Kratz, Scott Braun
