09. The Hollow Sadness of a Game-Ending Balk, with Aaron Anderson


Listen Later

Aaron Anderson is an electrical foreman and friend of mine of a couple of decades. We talk about a balk we saw in Seattle, what is and is not a balk, when umps should “swallow the whistle" and not be narcs, summer wildfires, doing an escape room while color blind, tufted puffin research, a Seattle crime scene, Justin’s $5 shorts, Justin Duchsherer’s 14th inning balk in 2004, the 2021 Giants, hellish Wild Card play-in games, fantasy baseball ethics, adding a balk category to our fantasy league, Dodger fandom in Northern California, and The Distillers.
