Are there rules about the length of sliding mittens?
Ben Clemens
8:55
they actually just talked about this on the broadcast
noted that there was some momentum towards a limit, but also that Story's glove isn't huge

How drastic should the change be in your odds of winning required to challenge as the game goes on? (i.e. should you challenge on a 10% chance in the 9th)
Ben Clemens
8:56
easily yes
because, despite the rules, you can just ask the umps to review it and they will if it's close late

that's true, but they had non-wild-card 3 game series in 2020

Karl Ravich shouldn’t write a “wear what the players are wearing” check that his butt can’t cash when I go to store.mlb and search ‘Nate Lowe Dickey’
Ben Clemens
9:00
if you look at all 3-game postseason series throuhgout history, it's 2-22
which is not great!
Guest

Can't be often that the team coming out of Game 1 with the better bullpen rest is the winning team

Meg talking about Tim Hill’s “bootlegger face” was a great moment in EW history
