Jen, Sarah and Mary discuss All-Star Game rosters, the Cardinals firing Mike Matheny late on a Saturday night, Chase Utley’s planned retirement at the end of the season, Shin Soo Choo’s consecutive on-base streak reaching 51 straight games, multiple position players pitching in the past week, and Cleveland’s bullpen communication issues.

THT Audio is also joined by July FanGraphs Resident Alexis LaMarsh, getting her perspective on Matheny’s firing, how she became this month’s resident, and what she plans to explore during the rest of her residency.
