Betting Nets Lifetime Ban for Marcano, Déjà vu for Tucker with Shin Injury, Yanks/Phils Continue to Flex Muscles, Gerrit Cole Nearing Return, Rhys’ Grand Return to Philly | 12

Welcome back to TableSetters, your go-to podcast for all things baseball! Steve and Devin are back, diving deep into the news of Padres’ Tucupita Marcano being banned for life from MLB for betting on baseball & Rhys Hoskins’ grand return to Philly.

Buckle up as we discuss the injuries to Kyle Tucker (eerily similar to one he had before) & Blake Snell hitting the IL. We also discuss Gerrit Cole’s rehab start and what he means for the surging Yankees’ when he returns. Are the Yanks & Phillies on a collision course for October or will another team hop in to challenge them?

But that's just the tip of the iceberg, folks. We discuss all the under-2 ERA clubs. Is anyone new to the club? Tommy Pham wants to fight someone, and the Blue Jays’ GM gets testy about being asked if trading Guerrero Jr. and Bichette is on the table.

We also talked more about umpire issues and what could fix this. Laz Diaz targeted Lars Nootbar and said he has no right to complain about the strike zone. Is this just the precursor of the robot umps?

And hey, remember to follow us on Instagram and Twitter @tablesetterspod for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and interactive fan polls. We want to hear from you!
