Don't look now but offensive numbers are UP across MLB in recent weeks. Tim McMaster and Ken Rosenthal discuss why. Then it's on to the mailbag...

-Is there proof that pitching limits lead to better health?

-Is it too soon to panic over the Mariners start?

-Could a ball/strike challenge system help the game?

-Do hitting coaches matter?

-Tweaking the 3-batter pitching rule

-Do ballplayers care what's going on with other clubs?

-Should Red Sox go into full sell mode?

-Would the Cardinals trade Nolan Gorman for Xander Bogaeerts?

Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email tabaseballshow@gmail.com.
