NPR on Twitter: “1/ At ballparks these days, a hot dog is no longer just a hot dog. A sub is no longer just a sub. Meet the bulgogi hoagie, a concoction found at Nationals Park that’s piled high with Korean BBQ beef, caramelized onions and “kimcheese wiz.”

Kyle discusses his experience at MLB Food Fest, and the age old question of “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” is debated.

Kyle challenges Andrew to guess which baseball team is responsible for each “food item” he had at the MLB Food Fest.

This week’s Minor League Team of the Week is the Louisville Bats the Derby City Mint Juleps. At least until we review the replay and decide to disqualify them in favor of the second-place finisher.

Chris Davis ends futility streak, turning mock cheers into Red Sox pain

Davis ended his record slump at 0 for 54 and drew applause from rival fans at Fenway Park, lining a single and two doubles while driving in four runs as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 9-5 Saturday to stop a four-game losing streak.

“That’s a long time without getting a hit,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but obviously something special.”

Davis broke into a smile when his bases-loaded, two-run single in the first inning broke the drought.

“It meant a lot to me,” he said.

He tried to make the most of his terrible stretch.

“I said it a couple of weeks ago: ‘You have to embrace it at some point,’” he said.

Davis walked to the plate in the first to what mostly appeared to be mock cheers when he was announced. But many of those quickly changed when he hit a liner over the head of second baseman Dustin Pedroia, ending the longest hitless streak ever by a position player.

J.A. Happ tried to be like Bartolo Colon on this play, but he’s not him and nobody is

Opening Day happened, and baseball that counts feels way different from Spring Training. Revenues are up! Lots of inside baseball talk.

We start by, uh, listening to some baseball (Reds vs. Braves). We describe what’s happening. We also spend a not insignificant period of time discussing the safety equipment that baseball players (baseballmen?) wear.

Also discussed: pine tar, RBIs, double switches.

Kyle watched the Reds @ Dodgers game on Pi Day. There was only one audio stream. It was just crowd noise. Kind of wild. Kyle recorded some of it.

Then Kyle watched a game on St. Patrick’s Day. MLB goes all out for St. Patty’s. Lots of green. It was… confusing. Then, we discuss Guinness.
