This week's whiskey/bourbon is Still Austin's Cask Strength Texas Bourbon Whiskey. We give our tasting notes, a breakdown of the characteristics, and rank it on our Barrels & Barrels rating scale. Will it make the All-Star team?

Our podcast this week is dominated by Shohei Ohtani talk. We have a debate on how much we think he is worth and how much we think he will be paid. Will he make it above 650 million overall? We discuss how incredible his June was and how impressive his season has been so far.

Ronald Acuña Jr. just made history this week. He and the Atlanta Braves continue to chew up and spit out the competition. How incredible has Acuña been? Are the Braves the best in baseball?

Episode 34: Shohei Ohtani to the Orioles?! Chicago Cubs angst, Machado or Harper?, and Larceny Barrel Proof A123 Review

Shohei Ohtani has continued his dominance into the second half hitting home runs and getting on base. We discuss his BAT FLIP and talk about which teams might make sense for a trade. Will he be traded, we give our thoughts on where he could go.
Are the Chicago Cubs buyers or sellers and if they sell, who are the big ticket players? Brandon and Michael have a rant about the Cubs and their performance. Cody Bellinger & Marcus Stroman are the two hot ticket items, but do they want to sell them?
Manny Machado hit his 300th home run... But who would you rather have on your team Machado or Harper? The Baltimore Orioles have had an amazing season. What moves do they need to make in order to improve? What players should they make a play for? Is Ohtani at play? Also, praise and love for Adley Rutchman.
This week's whiskey Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A123 from Heaven Hill Distillery. We give our tasting notes, a breakdown of the characteristics, and rank it on our Barrels & Barrels rating scale.
