Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery. The Red Sox left-hander just hasn't looked the same for over a year. He's dealt with a myriad of injuries and setbacks now, and this is an opportune time to get such a surgery because the status of the 2020 season is still unknown. Was this predictable and is Sale simply over the hill? The Giants announced that Tyler Beede will also be getting Tommy John, as he was looking to become a truly established big-leaguer this year. All this (and more) on today's episode.

Bill Buckner will always be remembered for his error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Most of that blame was unfair because the game was tied and there was no guarantee the Red Sox would have won even if he did make the play. He became a scapegoat for a frustrated fanbase dealing with the "Curse of the Bambino". How does that moment compare to Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, where the Texas Rangers were one strike away from winning it all, but David Freese hit a game-tying triple just beyond the reach of Nelson Cruz? Should Cruz have caught it? All this on today's episode.

A look at the list of Major Leaguers who came from the 2011 MLB Draft class is eye-popping. Many of the game's biggest stars today were drafted that year. It's not unusual for first rounders to never make the MLB, so it's surprising when the majority of them from one class turn out to be household names. Arguably the best player in that year's draft - Mookie Betts - wasn't drafted until the fifth round. All this on today's episode.

Jose Bautista's bat flip in Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS was nothing ordinary. It was an exclamation point on a controversial inning and was an epic "ball don't lie" moment. Since then, bat flipping has become more widely accepted and fewer pitchers act salty about it. Did Bautista's bat flip impact baseball etiquette and culture? All this on today's episode.

Did a swarm of insects impact the course of Yankees history? Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS is remembered as "The Bug Game" because of the insects that invaded Jacobs field and particularly tormented Joba Chamberlain as he tried to pitch in relief of a close game. The Indians would win that series and Joe Torre would lose his job as Yankees manager. All this on today's episode.

Armando Galarraga threw a perfect game once. It doesn't show up in the record books, but everyone knows he did it. With two outs in the ninth inning, Galarraga's perfecto was taken away by a blown call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce. There was no instant replay in baseball at the time. Should the Commissioner have overturned the call? All this on today's episode.

George Brett was an elite player throughout his career. He's a Hall of Famer. However, most people who know of him primarily do because of the Pine Tar Incident. After hitting a go-ahead home run for the Royals with two outs in the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium, Brett was called out for having too much pine tar on his bat. This led to a massive outburst and the game was eventually protested, resumed, and won by the Royals the following month. What went into the League's decision? How did the Yankees try to sabotage the Royals' protest? All this (and more) on today's episode.

MLB was suspended Spring Training and delayed the start of the regular season by at least two weeks. Opening Day was previously slated to be March 26, but that has been pushed back due to the national emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic. MLB is not alone, as seemingly every sports league in the US has been suspended. All this on today's episode.

As several sports leagues around the world suspend play and impose restrictions on fan attendance, eyes are shifting towards Major League Baseball. The MLB season is still slated to kick off in two weeks, but that is not a guarantee at this point. The Mariners, A's and Giants are facing scheduling concerns due to restrictions on public gatherings in their cities. Pete Alonso got a hefty raise from the Mets, giving him the highest salary for any 2nd-year player ever. All this (and more) on today's episode.

It's pretty much safe to say Felix Hernandez will make the Braves rotation now. What kind of season will he have. Did Orlando Arcia suddenly become a consistent hitter? Kenley Jansen has been disappointing for a couple years now, but perhaps his winter at Driveline Baseball has changed that. Noah Syndergaard had a down year in 2019, but the early returns are good so far this Spring. All this (and more) on today's episode.
