They do have a naturally separation point coming up, but I think it'll be as much about whether he wants to stay as anything else. Those sorts of lineup decisions always rankle, but the Angels' problems aren't of his making for the most part.

There should be a rule that if you are as big as Aaron Judge and you git a 340-foot ball over the wall, it is an automatic out. Tell me I'm wrong.

Why would you take away a fun thing and make it a bad thing?

How many players do the Mets trade before the deadline?

Meg Rowley

1:01

I think you'll see all the ones you expect, and then some random pitchers.

Think the Rockies would be open to trade Gray now that they've sent him down?

Meg Rowley

1:02

He's having such a weird year and was good so recently, I'd be surprised. They might actually have a good pitcher in there. Seems like the Rockies should hold on to those.

Previously, you've said you think the Red Sox take the division due to their better rotation. How does Johnny Lasagna break that opinion?

Meg Rowley

1:03

I did say that. I am much less inclined to say that now, and think after the deadline I won't say it at all.

True/false: position players pitching is more entertaining than pitchers hitting.

Meg Rowley

Very true. It might be the perfect baseball thing because every outcome is a good one. He does well? Amazing! He doesn't. Awww shucks buddy, thanks for trying!

I have some time off at the end of July and want to go to a baseball stadium I haven't seen. Been to: PIT, BAL, ATL, TB, COL, LAD, LAA, SD, CHC, CWS, and NYY. Bearing in mind I'm in the southeast, any ballpark you recommend?

Meg Rowley

I have only been to New Yankee and Coors from that list and really love Coors.

Do you think another league could ever rise up to be a legitimate rival to MLB's dominance?

Meg Rowley

1:06

Domestically? No. Internationally? In time, maybe.

Alright friends, I'm going to cut it off there. Apologies for what I didn't get to. I hope everyone has a safe holiday.

See you next week!
