Evan Drellich, a senior writer at The Athletic and author of Winning Fixes Everything, was a guest on Fantasy Baseball Beat to discuss the Houston Astros scandal, which was the result of a larger issue in baseball that had been in the making for the last 10-15 years. He believes punishments for the scandal didn't fit the crime, that people should re-evaluate the relationship between the means and the end in sports, and that winning is often seen as the only thing that matters. Evan also discussed MLB's new rules to speed up the game, the success of the pitch clock, and the debate between young and older fans. He suggested it takes at least half a season to determine if a faster game is successful.
