## Resource

In Episode 545, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about ice cream sandwiches again, movies again, and ads that annoy us, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 1. Los Angeles is Burning: The Dodgers are fine, but also lost two games to the Giants, so are they really? 2. Sorry We Missed You: Miami Marlins: The Marlins are competent, but should they be yearning for more? 3. Sorry We Missed You: Baltimore Orioles: I just like the duck, I think it could use more pitching though. 4. Around the Horn: Injuries, call-ups, and an Andrew Stevenson check-in? 5. Better know a host's favorite team. Five and Dive is listener-supported, you can join our Patreon at patreon.com/fiveanddive .
