Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Julio Rodríguez‘s advanced, long-term extension with the Mariners, which wild card contenders Meg is most anxious about as a Mariners fan, George Kirby’s game-starting strike streak and the character of a strike, the brand new CBA’s influence on midseason callups, and Bryce Harper’s return, observe up on MLB gamers taking part in KBO gamers, “defended” vs. “defensed,” Munetaka Murakami’s homers, and Yankee Stadium’s design, share a Previous Blast (43:17) from 1895, and replicate on the twentieth anniversary of the primary MLB recreation stream. Then (54:40) they speak to listener and broadcast designer/director Chris Hanel about his analysis into the pitch-speed flames and rating bugs on baseball broadcasts, the most important rating bug errors and disputes, how rating bugs have developed, one of the best and worst rating bugs, the way forward for rating bugs, and extra.
