We quickly take a look at an explosive Matchup 1 of the 2025 RtG Baseball season, highlighting perhaps the luckiest and unluckiest teams of the week. After checking out some surprising points leaders for batters and pitchers, we jump to our IRL Baseball Segment of the Week: Rule Changes. We debate which of MLB’s rule changes over the past 100 years have been home runs and which we wished had never left the batter’s box.
