Hour 3 kicks off with the guys discussing the Phoenix Suns' strong start in NBA Summer League, highlighting the play of Koa Peat, Khaman Maluach, and Rasheer Fleming as the young core continues to impress. They also recap the latest from The Open Championship, where Jackson Suber holds the lead heading into Friday's second round. Then the conversation shifts back to the Arizona Diamondbacks as the guys break down what it will take for the D-backs to stay in the National League Wild Card race. They discuss the importance of stars like Ketel Marte, Corbin Carroll, Geraldo Perdomo, and Nolan Arenado producing consistently, why Gabriel Moreno staying healthy is critical, the need for Eduardo Rodriguez, Merrill Kelly, and Brandon Pfaadt to anchor the rotation until Michael Soroka returns, the importance of contributions from Tawa, Troy, and Vargas, and why the bullpen must continue to be a strength. At 3:30, Cardinals beat writer Howard Balzer joins the show to discuss the latest surrounding the Arizona Cardinals as training camp draws near, including the biggest storylines to watch entering camp. The show closes with Lerner & Rowe One Call That's All.
