Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Robin Ventura truthers defending Ventura on the thirtieth anniversary of his brawl with Nolan Ryan, Shohei Ohtani‘s 2023 WAR matching his full-season 2021 WAR and whether this Ohtani season would’ve gained him an MVP award in 2022, the Yankees’ dealing with of Anthony Rizzo’s belatedly recognized post-concussion syndrome, whether or not this 12 months’s shift restrictions are resulting in extra pitchers being hit by baseballs, and what successful or dropping the commerce deadline is definitely price, then (52:44) Stat Blast about gamers with the very best and lowest percentages of pulled homers (and the longest streaks of pulled homers), gamers who bat righty and throw lefty, probably the most matching pitch counts and speeds in a single recreation, a document date for MLB birthdays, and the gamers traded probably the most instances on the commerce deadline, adopted by (1:11:54) a dialog with former main leaguer J.A. Happ (and FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen) about what it’s wish to be dealt on the deadline, Happ’s intensive commerce historical past, the retirement of Cole Hamels, and extra, plus (1:51:26) a Future Blast from 2042.
