Then the conversation shifts to the NBA, where the guys discuss growing expansion rumors and the bidding war to bring an NBA franchise to Las Vegas. At 2:30, ESPN play-by-play announcer Roxy Bernstein joins the show to discuss the Padres-D-backs series, the struggles both clubs have dealt with this season, and the outlook for the remainder of the year.
