Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss Bryce Harper pandering to Londoners, Kiké Hernández’s error during an in-game interview, the debate over banning player scouting cards to lower BABIP, the impact of widening foul lines on home runs, Yusei Kikuchi, Tyler Soderstrom, and a hypothetical scenario involving foul territory. They also talk about crediting managers for sacrificial ejections, Aaron Judge’s hot streak, Luis Gil’s performance resembling Gerrit Cole’s, the Yankees’ candlelit clubhouse, Matt Waldron’s success in a small sample size, and Tarik Skubal and Cole Ragans as a dynamic duo. The hosts also touch on non-hated dynasties, the Angels’ attendance, a mid-PA pitching change, and a lighthearted discussion about pterodactyls and dinosaurs. They close with banter about Buster Olney’s hacked-Twitter Luis Robert Jr. trade rumors.
