About this episode
Eno, DVR and Jed discuss Tyler Glasnow's excellent outing Monday after a recent scratch due to back tightness, and the waning importance of the regular season for a team that is built to win the World Series. Plus, they examine several hitters having career years in hopes of determining which seasons are peaks, and which are the beginning of a new, sustainable level.
