Starkville | Braves IF/OF Whit Merrifield talks about the hit-by-pitch epidemic in MLB and what can be done to fix it or punish the pitcher who throws the pitch. He also talks about currently playing with a broken foot, playing for both the Phillies and Braves this season and how happy he is to see the Royals doing so well.

Strange But True- Jesús Sánchez does something that has never been done in MLB history when he gets called out after getting an intention walk. You have to hear it to believe it.

No Trivia this week, but instead we get to hear about Doug's Vision of Starkville

Starkville | Newly retired Joey Votto makes another appearance in Starkville. He talks about his season in the minors, how he knew it was time to hang em up, his love of the game and his approach to the game, how he will never forget his last official MLB game and much much more.

Strange But True- Diamondbacks Pavin Smith hits 3 homers in his first 3 at bats of the game vs the Astros on Sunday and of course some strange stats and facts came from it.

Trivia Question is from Michael-Joey Votto’s batting average slipped under .300 his last two years. Through 15 seasons, he was a .300/.400/.500 player. There are 6 guys who played in the 21st century who slashed .300/.400/.500. Who were they?

Starkville | Diamondbacks Manager Torey Lovullo talks about how his team knows how good they are, their roller coaster season so far, how he felt after losing the World Series, who his mentors are in baseball and much more.

Strange But True- Danny Jansen makes MLB history by playing for the Red Sox and Blue Jays in the same game. This has Starkville written all over it.

Trivia Question is from John Gagosian - As you know, Ohtani just became the 6th member of the 40-40 club. There are three other players who fell a single homer short of joining this club (i.e. they had 39 homers and at least 40 SBs in one season) Can you name 2 of them?
