Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Edwin Díaz’ s sticky-stuff suspension, a new name for the internal brace alternative to Tommy John surgery, Blake Snell’ s latest setback, the success and extension of Cristopher Sánchez (and the Phillies’ excellence), Shota Imanaga’ s regression and Meg’s preseason prediction about Imanaga vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto , Kyle Finnegan ’s first-of-its-kind clockoff, the respective impressiveness of starts by Bailey Ober and Pablo López , a follow-up Steven Kwan -versation, the much-improved Guardians offense, an incredible catch by a Baltimore fan, the latest slow start by Julio Rodríguez , and (1:27:17) Ben’s pedantic report about brand-new baseball movie Ultraman: Rising .
