Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley reply listener emails about Kyle Schwarber batting leadoff, groups paying their gamers to not do in-game, on-field interviews, the phrase “potential World Collection preview,” a crew buying and privatizing a useful public baseball web site, a participant who can’t hit something besides grand slams, a participant who homers in each recreation he performs however is normally injured, Justin Verlander’s Corridor of Fame plaque cap, and what constitutes a “teammate” (plus a real-time response to the Astros releasing José Abreu). Then (1:06:33) Ben meets main leaguers Daniel Schneemann and Jamie Westbrook and (1:17:58) briefly reacts to information about MLB disciplining “excellent” umpire Pat Hoberg for playing.
