With a few days of sample-size, Major League Baseball’s Vice President of On-Field Strategy Joe Martinez discusses the feedback he has received on the new rules and quicker pace of play from players, managers, and executives around the game (27:55). Blair and Barker end the show with the debut of their new phone line! They chat about if the Blue Jays should have signed a depth catcher after trading away Gabriel Moreno (44:47).
