In Episode 435, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about pitching metrics and the Pleistocene Era and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Houston, we have too many third basemen? The Astros are getting to 91 wins and a division win in the weirdest way possible.2. The Politics of Glory: Three new Hall of Famers, two catchers fall off the ballot, and other Cooperstown chat.3. There is no such thing as a free agency: Profar heads to Atlanta, while the Nats and Guards add arms.4. Around the Horn: The Mets are planning not to have Pete Alonso, and the league is planning not to have labor peace.5. A new game we all…like?
