## Resource

Brent Gunning and Daniele Franceschi kick off the second hour with a look at Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season so far. They discuss his production at the plate, what might be behind his lack of home run power, and the factors that could fuel a second-half turnaround. Next, Brent and Daniele break down yesterday's World Cup action and set up today's exciting schedule featuring France, Argentina and Norway. After the break, Joe House (25:55) of The Ringer shares his reaction to the Knicks winning the NBA title and debates if this marks the start of a dynasty for New York. They wrap up with thoughts on this weekend's US Open and the most intriguing storyline going into the tournament.
