In what is now officially a tradition, Theo Epstein is throwing out the first pitch in Starkville this season. He continues his mission to make Major League Baseball more entertaining so we’re covering potential rule changes and how they could impact the sport. From the pitch clock, to limiting shifts in the infield AND outfield to moving second base to PitchCom, robot umpires and more.

Jayson and Doug also make their predictions sure to go wrong, look back on a 29-8 Spring Training game and of course... trivia!
