In Part 2, Rex and Craig consider the Astros' plight, examine a challenge facing the WNBA stemming from a Caitlin Clark interview gone horribly wrong (we removed the reporter's name as he's milked this for enough clicks, but IYKYK), remember the last Boy of Summer, pitcher Carl Erskine, who died last week at age 97, and review the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions.
