In today’s episode, I address the one transaction made in the last week; the MLB moving the All-Star game away from the state of Georgia and my feelings about that situation; the passing of Bondscast contributor Sam’s dog; and the 3 game series against the Mariners, including Gabe Kapler’s management of the bullpen; Buster Posey’s rejuvenation batting in the 7th spot in the order; Longoria’s contribution; the impressive starting pitching performances; an update in the NL West standings; and the probable pitchers and match-ups in the week ahead.
