Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter a few wave of baseball advertisements for cryptocurrencies and NFTs coinciding with crashes within the crypto and NFT markets, accidents to Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw, the dominance of the Dodgers, Yankees, and (particularly of late) Astros, the early NL West race, Robinson Canó getting a job as Jarred Kelenic loses one, the Mariners’ participant growth and the franchise’s future, the managerial line of succession and an unlikely player-manager situation, and Devin Williams and the boundaries of efficient wildness, plus three “How are you going to not be pedantic about baseball?” terminology questions on describing scoring and strikeouts and recalling gamers, and some closing followups.
Audio intro: Joan Armatrading, “Down to Zero”
Audio outro: The Byrds, “Take a Whiff on Me”
