Guest: Joe Weil, Winston-Salem Dash

The Rundown:

• Recap Hawk Day and ponder if AJ Pierzynski would be a good broadcast partner with Jason Benetti.  

• Our guest this week is Joe Weil of the Winston-Salem Dash as they head into the Carolina League Play-offs. He shares his thoughts about Nick Madrigal, Luis Robert, Luis Gonzalez, and if Omar Vizquel will be a one-and-done with the Dash.

Recorded 8-29-2018

The Rundown:

• The Chicago White Sox win two out of three in the Bronx! We discuss Reynaldo Lopez's unique pitch mix, the Ryan LaMarre Game, Game 2 bullpen collapse, and the outstanding defense from Yolmer Sanchez, Tim Anderson, and Adam Engel this series. 
• Preview the upcoming Boston Red Sox series while addressing the biggest question heading into this weekend: Will we see Eloy Jimenez?
• A pair of game theory scientists at NYU suggested a new rule called Catch Up. We debate if it's a good rule, and offer our suggestions if MLB is still trying to improve pace of play without drastically changing the rules of the game.
