Has Bob Melvin been a bad manager this year? In this Midweek Review our farmers sharpen their pitchforks while discussing the performance of Bob Melvin. Then they review the month 5 MVPs, Unsung Heroes, Most Improved and nominate candidates for next month's Most Improved. I bet you can guess which manger made that list.

In the Lightning Round the farmers go to jail, Matthew goes golfing, and Ben gives investment advice.

On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Martini while Matthew is drinking an Embassy Cocktail. Recipes below.
