Baseball is often referred to as America’s pastime, but that title could just as easily be applied to another activity -- the card game poker. Like baseball, poker might have its roots in games from other countries, but poker as we know it today is generally considered an American invention, dating back to the early 19th century, and over the years it’s become stamped into the fabric of American culture.

Cole Uvila loves poker as much as baseball. In fact, he's actually made more money at the card tables than he has on the mound. In this episode, Cole shares how he got into the game and details how he can take the lessons he learns in poker and apply them to baseball.

Meanwhile, as the second half of the season continues, Cole's tinkering on the mound leads to a bout of wildness, prompting him to take a deep look at how to fix it.
