About this episode
Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about Sean Doolittle ’s delivery and Steve Pearce’ s even/odd-year pattern, then discuss current record chases (involving Cody Bellinger , Christian Yelich , and the Orioles’ pitching staff), whether it’s possible to have exciting record chases based on Statcast stats, the significance of five-tool players (and scouting tools) in 2019, and more, plus a bit of one-sided banter about the Mets.
