Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Meg’s methods for dealing with report warmth in Phoenix, revisit an earlier dialog about whether or not the pitch clock has boosted MLB attendance (and reminisce about when the reason for elevated sport occasions was nonetheless thought-about unclear), rejoice their latest want about digicam angles on broadcasts coming true, focus on the resurgences of Jason Heyward and Cody Bellinger, marvel at Mickey Moniak’s continued resistance to regression and the Orioles overtaking the Rays within the AL East, use Jarred Kelenic’s fractured foot to advocate for padded dugout surfaces, and attempt to decide whether or not Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera had the extra shocking steep decline. Then (1:11:46) they reply listener emails about burnishing Shohei Ohtani’s legacy (and his doubtless profession path), letting All-Star starters return to the sport after being eliminated, Elly De La Cruz if he had to aim steals, and the space to bullpens, plus a Future Blast (1:42:20) from 2035 and a postscript on old-timer house run derbies.
