In Episode 70, Bradford and Craig chat NBA playoffs and then tackle five mostly baseball topics.

1. Protocol Me Maybe: Zach Please has a blog, the Cardinals are back on the field, and baseball has some more (new) guidelines

2. Around the Horn: The unbalanced schedule is leading to some bad nights for Red Sox pitching, and J.A. Happ had a meeting that could have been an e-mail, or something like that.

3. Weights and Measures: The ball is un-dejuiced?

4. Welcome to Planet Earth, a debacle: Well, we agree with the overall sentiment, Joe. Kelly, but maybe less so with the specific point you are making.

5. A Look Forward: Bradford likes finesse pitchers. Craig wants to see if the Dbacks have what it takes (to make the playoffs along with half the league).

2. The First Rule of Fight Club is Hide Behind Your Teammates: The Astros have another dust up.

3. Around the Horn: Quick thoughts on an iconic four-base error, a pitcher with your grandpas mustache, and a pitcher with a 1990s mustache,

4. 2 Legit 2 Quit: Some teams are off to a hot start, are they for real?

5. A Look Forward: Good pitching matchups abound.

In Episode 68, Emma and Jeffrey tackle five mostly baseball topics while Craig gets new windows installed.

1. Protocols Me Maybe: Baseball has new (old) actual (actual this time) protocols. Also a lot of doubleheaders

2. This segment does not get a punny title: Ryan Christenson made a gesture that looked an awful lot like a nazi salute in an MLB dugout.

3. Weights and Measures: The ball is no longer juiced

4. Thanks, I hate it: Blue Emu ads and Blue Jays roster weirdness

5. A Look Forward: Jeffrey and Emma both pick series with division title implications as we approach the quarter point (not pole) of the season. Also, a drone interlude.

1. Protocols Me Maybe: Things aren't getting any better for the Marlins or the Phillies or the Cardinals or...well, baseball.

2. Then I saw an ace, I'm a belieber: Shane Bieber might win the AL Cy Young. He'll definitely win it if baseball gets canceled Monday.

4. Thanks, I hate it: A Teddy Bear Jamboree in the stands and a new hard seltzer

1. Protocols Me Maybe: The Marlins have an outbreak, and MLB doesn't seem to have a plan.

2. The Bard returns to the stage: Daniel Bard made it all the way back and is throwing 99

3. Also, he's a pitcher: Verlander and Kluber go down with major arm injuries, is this just correlation, or is the quick ramp up to blame?

4. Small sample size, small sample sample size (TM Ted Berg): We look at the first 3-4 games of baseball and pick out some standout performances. Are they for real?

5. A Look Forward: Our upcoming games to watch.

In Episode 63 Bradford and Craig tackle the five teams in the AL East, again, as we wrap up our 2020 MLB preview.

1. The Yankees are both really good and really fun, truly America will embrace them now, right?

2. The Rays roster is confounding, and Bradford sneaks in some Willy Adames hype while Jeffrey is briefly away from his headphones.

3. The Red Sox man, the Red Sox.

4. The Blue Jays still do not have a place to play as of recording or publishing, or probably Opening Day,

5. We did the Orioles preview again too, because we are professionals.

1. Well the Gavin Lux chat in the Dodgers segment didn't age well.

3. The Padres continue to be more fun than good, and that might not be good enough for AJ
Preller's continued job prospects.

4. The Rockies continue to confound both of the hosts.

5. Well the Wilmer Flores chat in the Giants segment aged well.
