Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Tim Kurkjian joins to talk about Jacob Misiorowski's latest historical performance: a 15-strikeout complete-game 1-hitter. Buster and Tim also discuss Tarik Skubal's return and what that means for the Tigers, the white hot White Sox, and Pete Crow-Armstrong's correlation to the Cubs' success.

Braves All-Star first baseman Matt Olson then joins to discuss one of the most underrated parts of his game: his arm. He also shares a surprising story about the closest he's come to missing a game during his iron-man streak and is wise enough to not share some inside secrets of his batting approach to Cam Schlittler.
