The Windup: A show about Baseball

The 5 Best Things In Baseball This Week include the real prospect of a Legends Home Run Derby, Shohei Ohtani's quest for 60, the Naylor bros bashing bombs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continuing to hit home runs, and automated strike zone news. Tas and Joel then look back at some of their incredible (and horrible) 1st half predictions before looking ahead to some 2nd half storylines like underperforming teams that will bounce back, the Braves as the favorites, whether there will be a blockbuster trade, and more. All that, plus they debate the best start time for a game: 1pm, 4pm, or 7pm.*Today's episode is brought to you by:-Go to hellofresh.com/mlbshow50 and and use code MLBSHOW50 for 50% off plus free shipping!-Head to factormeals.com/mlbshow50 and use code mlbshow50 to get 50% off your first box.-LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.
