Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley talk about listener responses to their banter about stunning Statcast throwing speeds, then (12:42) talk about Nick Ahmed’s unsung nice glovework, the A’s turning out to be (barely) much less traditionally horrible than they initially appeared, the AL West race, and the way the Rangers lacking the playoffs would reinforce conflicting narratives about baseball. After that (57:24), they reply listener emails about Mookie Betts overtaking Mike Trout in profession WAR, how you can inform when a crew will get good at participant growth, and the place it will be best to cover a smaller base amongst greater bases, plus a Future Blast (1:32:26) from 2056.
