Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about umpire Jen Pawol’s promotion to the majors, whether the MLB Speedway Classic lived up to its name, Nathan Eovaldi’s Gibsonian season, another big blow to the practice of pitcher hitting, a “breakout” question, an optimistic Twins take, the Yankees’ concerning (to Yankees fans) slide, Roman Anthony’s extension, whether MLB’s playoff picture is boring, Andrew Vaughn’s hot hitting, and the accuracy of a baseball scene on The Gilded Age.

Audio outro: Liz Panella, “Effectively Wild Theme”
