Ep.268: Are Strider’s and Flaherty’s Days Numbered?

This week on Long Gone:

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss the early All-Star voting ballots and numbers and the often-ridiculous nature of the process, debating whether fans and media should rethink how baseball’s biggest stars earn their spots.

With trade deadline chatter heating up, the boys also rattle off the names they believe should be completely off limits in trade talks.

They then dive into Spencer Strider’s latest injury, comparing his career arc to Jack Flaherty’s and discussing how injuries have reshaped both pitchers. Is this the beginning of the end for either? And has Atlanta’s reputation for continuously developing elite pitching started to slip?

The boys also play a game of temperature checks, each selecting four teams and deciding whether their fan bases should be “Concerned,” “Panicked,” or have “No Worries” now that there’s a better picture of who these clubs truly are.

They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner, where Market Movers’ Nick Green joins the Hobby Huddle to discuss the latest hobby trends and what’s new in the Market Movers world.
