Summary: After another week off Jay, Mike and Sam are back with another episode of the podcast. The guys are coming into the final stretch of their seasons and look ahead to the next few weeks of both the MiLB and MLB seasons. Which September call up are you most looking forward to seeing in the big leagues? Here's what you'll get in this episode: With the MiLB season wrapping up and the MLB rosters expanding, we discuss the pros and cons of September call ups and whether or not they are still needed or wanted in today's game. We also take a look at the reasons why the MiLB season ends over Labor Day and explore the idea of moving the schedule deeper into the year, with a later start in April. Additionally, the MiLB playoff chases are in full swing and we examine the roster rules protecting playoff integrity. Is it fair for an organization to stuff talent from the higher levels to those below for the purpose of winning a championship? Do teams intentionally attempt to stack a roster? The get out of town segment enjoys its first email suggestion from a listener, a worthy candidate from the Tuscon Padres. Nick still owes us a trip to Toledo, and he is running out of time.
