Episode 231 -- Jason and Brice talk about how Jonah Heim and Khris Davis have looked so far this spring, the Rangers allowing a packed park for Opening Day, and Brice gives an extremely bold take for the Texas Opening Day roster.

Of course, there is plenty of talk about their disdain for the Houston Astros on the podcast too. Because that disdain runs deep and took up so much time, there will be a part two to this pod releasing on Thursday!

Episode 228 -- Today's show starts off with a rundown of all the rules changes coming to minor league baseball in 2021, and which levels they'll be happening. For instance, Triple-A is making the bases bigger, while Double-A is figuring out ways to limit how much teams shift.

In the second segment, Jason gives his opinion on the A's bullpen outlook with the struggles of Nik Turley this spring. Does this open up a door for Cole Irvin, Wandisson Charles, or Miguel Romero?

Jason also goes over what the lineup could look like with a lefty starter on the mound, particularly at DH.

Finally, the Houston Astros signed Jake Odorizzi over the weekend in a move they had to make with Framber Valdez going down, but Jason doesn't think he's enough for Houston to keep pace with the A's.
