Description

As the calendar changes to May, Tim and Ken take a look back on the first month of the season. What can we take from the small sample sizes and what should we be waiting on before drawing conclusions. Then they open up the mailbag:
-Should batters be awarded two bases for being hit by a pitch?
-Could the Red Sox trade Xander Bogaerts?
-Is the building of bullpens changing as the game changes?
-Is the effect of base stealers on pitchers overlooked in MLB?
-Did Baltimore move the left field wall at Camden Yards too far?
-Can anything be done about Angel Hernandez and bad umpiring?
-Will the one-knee catching position go away when balls and strikes are called by robot umpires?
-Is Rob Manfred making good on his plan to visit more players and teams this season?

Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email tabaseballshow@gmail.com.
