We bounce around a busy week in baseball news, starting with some surprising names atop the All-Star voting leaderboards (2:12) and then discussing David Ortiz’s health after he was shot in the Dominican Republic (21:31). We finish by talking about whether the home run is diminished now that the ball is flying out of the park (37:51).
