Chase Burns' dazzling debut, A's break ground in Las Vegas & All-Star voting explained

Imagine this. You get the call that you're headed up for your MLB debut. Even better, your first start is at home against the Yankees. You step onto the mound and strike out the first two batters. Aaron Judge steps to the plate, he goes down swinging. The next inning you repeat the same process, striking out three of the next four batters. Well, this was reality for the Reds' Chase Burns on Tuesday. The second overall pick in the 2024 draft is the only pitcher in the last 50 years to strike out the first five batters faced in an MLB debut. Jake and Jordan break down Burns' dazzling debut. The Atlanta Braves have taken the first two games in their series against the New York Mets this week. The guys discuss the Braves' recent success over the Mets and the momentum they have going right now. They also dive into the Mets' recent struggles. Losers of 10 of their last 11, the Mets still sit only 1.5 GB in the NL East. Is it time to panic yet at Citi Field? The former Oakland A's, who are currently in Sacramento, broke ground in Las Vegas yesterday. The drawn-out move to Las Vegas took a crucial step, on Tuesday, with the team announcing that the new stadium will be ready by Opening Day 2028. Team owner, John Fisher, and MLB Commissioner, Rob Manfred, spoke at the ceremony. Jake and Jordan discuss the continuance of the A's to Vegas saga as they dive into what was said and what this move to Vegas might mean for the A's and MLB. The All-Star Game is just around the corner, and the first voting period is almost complete.
