Description:
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley rant about the practice of picking âbreakoutâ players who have already broken out, react (22:20) to the Oriolesâ Charlie Morton signing and discuss (38:24) Morton as one of the pitchers who best embodies his era, and answer listener emails (52:14) about whether the existence of the minor leagues suggests that baseball is the hardest sport to play and why MLBâs potential TV-driven decrease in revenue is worthy worrying about, plus a postscript (1:33:54).
