-Is it too soon to panic over the Mariners start?
-Could a ball/strike challenge system help the game?
-Do hitting coaches matter?
-Tweaking the 3-batter pitching rule
-Do ballplayers care what's going on with other clubs?
-Should Red Sox go into full sell mode?
-Would the Cardinals trade Nolan Gorman for Xander Bogaeerts?
