Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about the non-running Royals and Terrance Gore , the Diamondbacks’ stolen-base success rate and Zack Godley ’s disastrous season, the Phillies’ roster crunch, Sam’s recurring nightmare, a Roman Quinn fun fact, and the outfield exploits of Vince Velasquez , whether the 40-man roster should be bigger, what Velasquez has in common with EW legend Ned Garver , the trials and travails of baseball’s forgotten “bullpen jeep” and the sport’s perpetual efforts to shorten games, lying about Babe Ruth , a new nickname for combined no-hitters, the Astros debut of Aaron Sanchez and Houston’s continued way with pitchers, plus a postscript tribute to the late, great unknown comic, Ted Berkelmann.
