This episode features a little bit of self-reflection by Bernnie and Josh. Their seasons are over and they are taking a look back at what makes them feel successful after a game and after a season, as well as diving into some standards they have heard others use for measuring success.

This episode features discussion about offensive, spectator, and umpire interference, and what snacks pair well with certain whiskies.

Episode seven of Balls, Strikes, and Bourbon features discussion between Bernnie, Josh, and three guests about common rules myths, made-up rules, whiskey, coffee, and some fun times on and off the field.

Josh and Bernnie discuss the on and off-field responsibilities of being a home plate umpire. This episode is the first of at least two that will discuss working the plate. Preparing for the game, starting the game, seeing the strike zone, and a handful of other topics are discussed, as are two delicious whiskies.

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.
