## Resource

In this episode, we discuss Pete Crow-Armstrong's MLB All-Star Media Day in Philadelphia after putting together one of the most impressive first halves in baseball. We reflect on his season, representing the Cubs at the All-Star Game, and what has fueled his MVP-caliber performance through the first half. From elite defense in center field to game-changing speed and an increasingly dangerous bat, Crow-Armstrong has emerged as one of the biggest stars in the game and a driving force behind the Cubs' success. We also react to the Homerun Derby last night from the ending with Jordan Walker winning to the broadcast crew that delivered mixed results. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
