The whole panel was back together in this week’s episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio. Best of all, things went off without a technical hitch — unless you count Buck nearly losing his voice.

With our host somewhat ailing and rationing his larynx use, Tim and I carried most of the conversation, which consisted of analysis of the following stories:

• Matt Cain’s perfect game and how that may lead to starting pitchers hitting golf balls out of their respective home parks.
• Brandon Morrow’s trip to the DL and how the Jays’ rotation is suddenly falling apart.
• Tim’s impending use of a walker and a hearing aid.
• Jonathan Sanchez’s return from the DL and whether he’s worth a pickup.
• Joe Torre’s recent comments about Alex Rodriguez.
• Tim Lincecum’s struggles and what his owners can do about them.
• How good a hitter Robin Ventura was with the bases loaded.
• What were the Jays thinking with the whole Vladimir Guerrero ordeal?
• David Robertson’s pending activation what his likely role will be in the Bombers’ bullpen.
• Should pitchers hit? The rant was on!
• The merits of Sausage Races.
• How a starting pitcher’s career can be massively extended by being converted into a reliever.
• Tim’s sudden confession that he doesn’t think much of Tommy Milone after all. WTF?
• Brett Gardner’s setback with an elbow woe that could sideline him an additional few weeks.
• John Smoltz’s number being retired by the Braves and his inevitable enshrinement in Cooperstown.
