Keith Law (MLB Writer, The Athletic): I would be really surprised if someone came along who could throw 110(mph) and do it enough that he can last.  Please check out other RES productions: Overreaction Monday: http://apple.co/overreactionmonday  What the Football with Suzy Shuster and Amy Trask: http://apple.co/whatthefootball Learn more about your ad choices.

Segment One— MLB: If I say Aaron Judge I go right to Paul Bunyan because in the history of baseball, there are only a handful of guys of his stature that are doing who are doing the kinds of things that he has done.  Segment Two—On Independence Day, enjoy what we have now because it feels like we’ve hit a new horizon in terms of having less freedom and spending more as sports consumers.  Segment Three— Gabe Lucques MLB Writer USA Today: The Phillies are playing .663 ball which is certainly no fluke on the 4th of July.  Learn more about your ad choices.
