MLB 2nd Half Storylines, Messi & Other Soccer News, Random Awards & Last Take Worst Take | S1E13

Welcome to Episode 13 of the Breaks-down Podcast! As always, we've got a random assortment of topics for your listening and/or viewing pleasure. We start it off with a little bit of housekeeping and discuss the latest news in sports, including the MLB All-Star Game, DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Titans, Carlos Alcaraz winning Wimbledon over Djokovic, the Jets being selected for Hard Knocks, Messi’s big unveiling for Inter Miami, a little bit of USMNT talk, and some soccer transfer news. 

We then get into Adam and Tom's One Big Thing for the week. Adam's OBT is that Romelu Lukaku is awful and is his unofficial arch nemesis. In terms of total transfers, Lukaku is the most expensive player of all time and is NOT worth the cost.

 Tom's OBT is the bad driving epidemic. Tom officially blows a gasket when he gets into his trials and tribulations on the road. The audacity of some people to use 2 spots for one car, truly sickening behavior. 

For Episode 13’s Meat, we get into some MLB 2nd Half Storylines that we’re keeping our eyes on. We get into some statistical accomplishments such as Ohtani’s dominance, Acuñas continued greatness and how he can surpass the great Rickey Henderson, Arraez’s unlikely quest to hit .400. We also discuss the Braves organizational brilliance. The Twins and Guardians mediocrity, The Diamondbacks, Orioles, and Reds not so shocking success. The Yankees, Mets, Astros, and Dodgers are no longer MLB’s elite? We leave no stone unturned.

As always, we finish up with everyone's favorite segment, Random Awards and our newest segment Last Take Worst Take.
