Athletics TV Broadcaster Dallas Braden joined FT to tell us where the A's stand in the AL West, what to expect from Gage Jump, and if Shea Langeliers can continue to build an MVP case. He also ranted about Seattle's decision to piggyback Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller.

(25:39) Kiké Hernández returned from the IL and he brings a different energy to this Dodgers team. We also found out just how bad his elbow injury was, and why he wanted to let Andrew Friedman know about it. Disclaimer: this conversation happened before we learned that Kiké strained his oblique.

(31:49) Gage Jump's Triple-A adjustments pitching in a hitter-friendly environment in Las Vegas could help him moving forward with the A's. Baseball America's JJ Cooper has the report.

Hosts: Pierzynski, Kratz, Braun
