As always, Jackson's Bullpen dives into something only Jackson could cook up. Start, Bench, Cut vacation homes...where do we land?

Listen in to this week's episode to get the full gambit from all 3 of us. Topic number 2 this week focused on the NL Wild Card. The teams are basically set, but the seeding is very much not. Who will play whom, what matchups do we want to see, and who stands out as a x-factor for each of those 4 teams playing in the Wild Card round?

The biggest trade so far this season happened this week and Ryan/Jackson discuss what it means for both sides. Connelly Early heads to the nation's capital with Curtis Mead on his way to Beantown. The Nats are likely selling Mead's stock at its high point with Early on his way back from rehab. It could be a leverage point for both seasons as they push to the post season. Jackson uncovered 5 players that he believes have flown under the radar to this point in 2026, while he and Ryan highlight their performance. Jackson's Bullpen explores a few guys that could help certain postseason teams make a push down the stretch in August and September.
