Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s week away, Julio Rodríguez’s sizzling streak and the Mariners’ surge, and the White Sox firing Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, plus a seize bag of subjects that caught Ben’s consideration whereas he was in Sweden: the Dodgers signing Kolten Wong; a Cubs adult-diaper advert; an oddly ricocheting Luke Raley residence run; errors and official scoring, one other incident that made Miles Mikolas mad; Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and the Tigers’ rebuild; Bobby Witt Jr.’s sophomore breakout; Nationals extensions, CJ Abrams, and Joey Meneses; the same seasons of J.D. Martinez and Justin Turner; the potential for good groups to overlook the playoffs, and radical realignment; Jon Singleton returning to the Astros; Dallas Keuchel persevering with to pitch; a nifty Brewers commerce revisited (and Christian Yelich’s bounceback); the sale of Fogo de Chão; John Angelos’s newest groaners; preseason prediction philosophies, and extra, plus a Future Blast (1:32:04) from 2049 and some follow-ups (1:33:37).
