## Resource

On today’s BD Baseball, Jake and I fire up the June Swoon Watch and take a hard look at the A’s, Cubs, and a few other clubs teetering on that edge between contender and collapse. Jake breaks down the Tigers’ wild 10–9 win over the Rays, Kerry Carpenter’s big return, and why Detroit went from best record in baseball last year to tied for the worst this year. We also dive into the ABS disaster in the A’s–Yankees series, how a frozen laptop cost Oakland a challenge, and what it means when the system that’s supposed to fix bad calls breaks down on its own. Then we hit on the new automatic check swing challenges in Triple-A, how there’s not even a clear rulebook definition of a check swing, and what that might look like if it ever comes to MLB.
