In this fifth episode of Balls, Strikes, & Bourbon, the guys discuss what makes an act by a pitcher legal or illegal, Josh tries a "Farm to Barrel" bourbon, and Bernnie has a tasting of three bottles that showed up on his doorstep by surprise.

This week, the guys talk about the basics of properly running the bases, Josh drinks whiskey, and Bernnie drinks a gimmick-y beverage (that is actually quite tasty), the previous week's relatively-uneventful games are recapped, basketball is briefly discussed, and the stage is set for next week.
