Episode 18 -- Pete Rose, Ohtani Conspiracies and Wow the Rangers Cant Hit... Plus Mike's Out.

Bitter Mike is on the IL for Personal Reasons.... We kid. He's out on a well-deserved R&R trip with his lovely bride -- but as Mike says -- the show must go on. Aric was joined by Guest Host Fred Davis aka Freddy D and the two touched on Pete Rose's recent ban being lifted -- thanks to him dying -- and what his Hall of Fame chances are now. Fred also floats a Ohtani-interpreter-betting conspiracy he saw on X in relation to the Pete Rose ban. 

The two also discuss Mike Trout and his oft-injured reputation; what has happened to the Rangers' bats and why betting and social media have introduced a dangerous slant to player criticism.
