Hour 2 begins with USA Today Baseball Columnist Bob Nightengale joining the Right Toyota Guest Line to talk about the state of MLB ahead of the trade deadline, including whether the Diamondbacks should move players like Eugenio Suárez and fully embrace a seller’s approach. Bob also shares his MVP picks and thoughts on this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame class. Then, Roc and Manuch look back at the most memorable moments from Arizona’s sports landscape in the first half of 2025—highlighting the Diamondbacks stadium bill passing, U of A’s Big 12 Championship, and ASU Football’s improbable College Football Playoff appearance. Later, ASU Associate Head Coach Charlie Ragle joins the show to outline expectations for the upcoming season, including the growth of quarterback Sam Leavitt, key additions on special teams, and the importance of explosive plays. The hour wraps with the “Random Fact of the Day” and “Football at 50.”
