Our summer was crazy! And a lot has happened since June. But we are here and have a lot to say. From Legion World Series to the upcoming MLB Playoffs Ethan shares his thoughts. Aaron promised to get Ethan on a rant and there was success! Is Ohtani going to be worth the money? Blake Snell on the move? Do the Astros care about the regular season?
