Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter concerning the scorching begin by Jarred Kelenic and when to imagine in a breakout, Jo Adell and the thriller of quadruple-A gamers, the chances of no Marlin hitting for the cycle till Luis Arraez did it this week, the Rays’ record-tying thirteenth straight win, new reviews about new guidelines, and extra. Then (51:12) they reply listener emails about the perfect city, non-ballpark setting for baseball, the MLB participant they might most wish to be stranded with on a desert island (with a digression on Matt Strahm and ballpark beer gross sales), a pitcher with one unhittable pitch per sport, and a black-box outfield, plus a Past Blast (1:26:19) from 1993.
Audio intro: Dave Armstrong and Mike Murray, “Effectively Wild Theme”
Audio outro: Chicano Batman, “Cycles of Existential Rhyme”
