Ep. 71 — With help from special guest host Austin Zimmerman, the gang banters about Ichiro in Japan (prior to the games actually being played, sorry), Carlos Santana’s crusade against Fortnite, changes in minor league pay, a secret watch, and the union of J-Rod (or is it A-Lo?). Then they chat about some proposed rule changes that no one asked for and discuss what they could mean for baseball going for forward. They also get a firsthand spring training report from Austin, the Tipping Pitches resident scout, and throw out some blazing hot takes for the 2019 season. Follow Austin on Twitter here.
