(48) “Beneath the Traditional Numbers”: Explaining the Cardinals, Defending the Mets, Denying the Juiced Ball, and More

In our last episode, Pesach and Scott were utterly mystified by how the Cardinals keep winning with.. well, basically nothing.

The pod also revisits the Mets’ trades at the deadline, and argues that winning the World Series may actually be besides the point. Plus: listener feedback on the home run discussion, and Verlander writes another line on his HOF plaque.
