episode

To open the show, we debate whether the plethora of no-hitters and near-no-hitters this season is a bad thing for the league (02:00). Then, we discuss Jarred Kelenic&#039;s and Logan Gilbert&#039;s debuts for the Mariners and look back on the famous trade that brought Kelenic to Seattle (11:20). Later, we get into the A’s threatening to relocate from Oakland (38:40). Finally, things come to a close after we talk about writing off the Twins and trends we would like to highlight before they fall victim to the Ringer curse (56:00).
Hosts: Michael Baumann, Ben Lindbergh, and Zach Kram
