    Episode 18 - The 14th player fallacy
    Aug 31 2025
    It used to be that, on or shortly after September 1st, MLB teams would promote a handful of players as the 25 man roster was bumped to 40. It's a popular article around that date. And the 14th man is a fallacy.

    Episode 15 - Lineup sclineup
    Aug 22 2025

    Episode 13 - Jed Hoyer's deadline decisions
    Aug 22 2025
    While the criticism for Jed Hoyer's deadline activity was rather loud, it has quieted. After all, the cost of acquiring an SP with 0 innings this season was a second rounder in the 2024 draft. (Shane Bieber to Toronto.)
