They look at the frustration surrounding Roman Polak's usage and why he won't go anywhere until a suitable replacement is found. 

David brings up the Steve Simmons article about Auston Matthews' usage on the powerplay. Richard also tells some people to relax because the Leafs are finally good again and nothing should be coming easy. 

(50:30-) In the final segment Josh Donaldson got a payday from the Blue Jays and look at his future. They discuss how the team can still compete despite the improvements other teams in the AL have made.
