The great Patrick Dubuque of the mighty Baseball Prospectus joins the show. We lament the various trials of children of a certain age, marvel at the Seattle Mariners being projected to have one of the American League's best teams despite having so many bad baseball players, and find ourselves deeply curious in the financial loss leaders of the Pittsburgh Pirates ownership group.
There's a fair amount of chatter about the ways we like to consume baseball, its utility in our daily lives, and some lamenting about how many of the sport's paths can be drawn back to online gambling. But, as Patrick was clear to articulate, none of us is free of sin. Let's go Mariners.
