Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci look at the 'best' in the game right now starting with Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony's debut at Fenway Park.  Has the approach changed for bringing players up from the minors? Tom asks Joe how the young prospects should be handled.  What shows Tom that Pirates Ace Paul Skenes could be the greatest young pitcher EVER?  The Dodgers are supposed to be the best team, but why aren't they right now?  Plus, after seeing the Cubs' Nico Hoerner get ejected...Joe relives some of his finest moments with the umps behind the plate.
