Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter in regards to the Mariners clinching the AL West, the advantages and downsides of MVP debates, the ability of nice gamers to reinforce a season for spectators, the Cardinals’ and Giants’ reciprocal eliminations, the near-extinction of the 200-inning pitcher, the Nationals’ new head of baseball ops, and the way predictive a monitor report of adept drafting is. Then (53:15) they reply listener emails about whether or not a participant might/ought to ever problem a ball/strike name that went their manner, whether or not elevated pitcher accidents have contributed to the shortage of nice groups, sticky-stuff inspections on broadcasts, what number of pitches it takes to judge a pitcher, whether or not/why baseball managers incur followers’ wrath greater than different sports activities’ coaches, whether or not groups are turning fewer double performs than they used to, and Trey Yesavage’s many 2025 teammates, plus (1:40:47) a postscript.
