Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter in regards to the impressiveness of a prediction by Carlos Estévez, how you can say the rating from the dropping crew’s perspective, and getting hit within the head by a scorching canine. Then (23:13) they focus on getting hit within the head (or the palms) by a baseball: how usually it occurs, how harmful it’s, and whether or not (as Whit Merrifield argues) MLB should act to discourage it. Then (58:28) they brainstorm about visiting groups’ first-inning drawback and reply listener emails (1:08:42) about Triple-A groups as playoff warm-up acts, an obscure Wealthy Hill report, post-PitchCom efficiency in previous sign-stealing conditions, headfirst sliding vs. feet-first sliding (and whether or not operating extra may cause one to hunch on the plate), the idea of a “pure place,” and the ethics of a UCL exclusivity deal.
