Then the boys discuss the Yankees Mets series from over the weekend, the Braves closing...

In honor of the Labor Day weekend, the boys get a little off the rails for a majority of this episode.

The boys got their second guest! The wonderful and talented Aram Leighton joins the show to talk all things MLB Draft. He explains the concept behind modern draft strategy, talks about the best NL East draft classes, and digs into whether best player available is actually what teams want to do.  Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, the interview is cut short but that just means he'll...

Avoiding baseball talk at the top as the boys always do, they first talk about visiting the doctor, Brandon's tipping etiquette, and how many movies Sam did or didn't see.

The last morning zoo episode for quite some time, the boys get into some non-baseball talk right off the top as usual before diving into the Braves Dodgers NLCS rematch, the sticky stuff drama in MLB, and if Trevor Bauer is a liar or not. Then Brandon gets some sweet revenge and rubs dirt into Sam's open Marlins wounds as they discuss the Fish losing 9 of their last 10 games. Finally, they wr...

This week's episode opens up with Sam bombarding Brandon with Mets hate before combining their tiny little brains together to figure out what it is the Mets are doing so well to win these games. Afterwards, the boys examine individual WAR statistics for each team in the division, wonder if the Nationals are in full panic mode yet, and decide if Joe Girardi's anger towards the media is wa...
