Come for the jovial conversation and astute insight, stay for the 3-2-5-4-2-8-6 double play. Jayson and Doug roast their marshmallows in front of the St. Louis Cardinals' magma-like win streak. Kevin Kiermaier subterfuge! Raúl Ibañez, who serves as MLB Senior Vice President of On-Field Operations, catches up with Jay and Doug! The triumvirate talk pitching clocks, its efficacy in the Minors, and a hypothetical implementation in the Majors. Plus, more experimental rule changes discourse, such as shift limits and pick-off maximums. An MVP-Cy Young trivia question proceeds a time-traveling Strange But True!
