Chapter 3 Begins

Episode 643: The streak is over.

Winning one out of four has never come as a bigger relief. A hard-fought series comes to an end in Toronto, but more importantly, August 13th is Steve’s birthday. The guys talk about Steve and jinxes before talking about the incoming third chapter of the 2026 season.

Jared, Coley, Tyler, and Steve discuss the Blue Jays series, including Sonny Gray, Patrick Sandoval, and Payton Tolle recaps, the 4th Out Fiasco, and a Jared Carrabis “review” of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. A Carmen Electra and Pam Anderson appreciation session breaks out before the crew talks about Dave O’Brien’s extension.

After discussing the immense relief the fourth game gave everyone, the 10 talks about the interesting Rafael Devers story and other stories that may come out in the coming weeks before wrapping up with Stop & Shop and a weather lookahead in Pittsburgh.
