In this week's episode, the boys rave about Aaron Judge breaking Roger Maris' home run record. The 62nd home run ball was caught by someone who doesn't even need the money. This raises the question: what would Steve do if he caught this historic baseball? In other news, it's official, all teams have clinched their playoff spots.

When will he get it? Albert Pujols has joined the 700 club. The boys discuss how special that is and how special he is.

Who will be the next Randy Arozarena, Carlos Beltran or Pablo Sandoval this year? The boys then round out the show with Collection Corner and the last Fantasy Factory for the year.

The Detroit Tigers surprised the baseball world by poaching the Giants' GM Scott Harris to make him their new VP. The Tigers appear to be in good hands, but are analytics over the traditional way the method to go for this club? Los Angeles Dodgers great Maury Wills passed recently at 89. The boys go over his career and discuss why he isn't in the Dodgers ring of honor.  After, they take a hard left into one of their childhood favorites, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The boys kick off this week's episode talking about how his game is taking off to new heights, and how this modern day Superman won't quit, regardless of rumors. White Sox manager Tony LaRussa is recovering from having a pacemaker put in. This seemingly looks to be his last days in Chicago as their skipper. Who will the Sox look to next to lead them if LaRussa steps down? Love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta respect the Los Angeles Dodgers' greatness. Are we looking at a dynasty team?

The boys explain the young star's immaturity and what could happen to him if this current Padres squad proves to be successful without him. Aaron Judge sits at 46 homer runs on the year.
