Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter a few participant/league/umpire spat over on-screen strike-zone plots, whether or not “Ok-Zone” and its ilk have had a dangerous impact on the sport, the place they stand on a hitter vs. pitcher dispute concerning the mid-game use of superior pitching machines, the promotion of Nationals prime prospect James Wooden (and the way forward for Orioles prime prospect Jackson Holliday), and Byron Buxton’s current success. Then (59:08) they determine and talk about the groups, hitters, and pitchers which have most surpassed or fallen in need of their preseason projections midway by means of the common season.
