Reading Time: 3 mins read

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Kenta Maeda pitching effectively regardless of PitchCom making a gift of his indicators, spring coaching accidents (5:26), the upsides and disadvantages of pitchers starting to name their very own pitches with PitchCom (9:03), and the the explanation why hitters collectively appear to swing extra usually than they need to (20:18). Then they proceed (and cross the midway level of) their 2023 season preview collection by discussing the Los Angeles Dodgers (40:01) with Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, and the Chicago Cubs (1:19:32) with Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic, plus a Previous Blast from 1976 (2:07:56).
