Thinking about thinking! Keith Law makes his return to the show and discusses how the minor leagues could be impacted by the ongoing stoppage in play and his new book, The Inside Game, researching behavioural economics and the history of cognitive bias among baseball decision-makers. Keith shares some of the people he spoke with for the book, including former Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos, and weighs in on whether or not family ties in pro baseball could be part of the same conversation. Plus, we discuss the punishment handed down to the Red Sox by Rob Manfred and what differentiates it from the Astros scandal, how both could impact the role of video replay in baseball, and we look ahead to the start of the Korean baseball season.

Keith's new book, The Inside Game: Bad Calls, Strange Moves, and What Baseball Behavior Teaches Us about Ourselves, is available now at
