We discuss the news that Phillies clubhouse managers have tested positive for COVID-19 and what that means for scheduling concerns just one week into the baseball season (1:43). Then, Bradford William Davis of the New York Daily News joins to discuss the way that MLB has handled demonstrations and kneeling during the national anthem during the first week of games (22:07). Finally, we debut a new in-season segment—“The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla”—in which we share one good thing from the last week, one bad thing, and one bizarre thing (42:35).

Hosts: Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman
