What's the least depressing thing about talking Detroit Tigers baseball? Well, it keeps us from talking about Rob Manfred...

*(We actually used a much stronger word.) Ken Schultz is on the road in NYC this week and he's joined IN PERSON by the podcast's first repeat guest: comedian Kevin McCaffrey (Late Show).

So Ken & Kevin spend 50 minutes putting them all on blast--from the cheating Astros to the poverty stricken Red Sox (Huh?) to the baseball hating Rob Manfred, no one is spared their disgust. Except Kris Bryant. Kris Bryant still rules.
