#087 - Second-half nonsense, Eury’s perfect hook, and our over/under achievers

Rolsey and Spoon are holding the fort this week, starting with a quick discussion about Eric’s absence and whether we should be concerned, impressed, or used to it.From there, the boys get into the whole “first half / second half” thing in MLB. It’s not actually a true half of the season, but every year everyone gets swept up in the idea anyway, so we talk about what matters, what doesn’t, and which splits are actually worth caring about.Then it’s a quick Destiny Draft check-in, with a massive couple of days coming up. Head to baseballexpats.com and click Destiny Draft on the homepage to follow the live scoreboard.After that, we get into Eury Pérez being pulled after seven perfect innings, only for the Marlins bullpen to promptly implode, because baseball enjoys making everyone miserable. Rolsey adds some historical context around near-perfect games and what makes these situations so weird.That leads us into the Marlins’ season more broadly, plus a look at some of the league’s bigger overperformers and underperformers so far.Then Spoon closes us out with his best picks for the slate.Love you.
