After a very long hiatus due to a myriad of reasons, Mario and Pat are back! We went over three #PinchTalkQuestions, and also talked about the playoff races for the American League and National League. While we were answering questions and delving into our discussions of the playoff races in each, we went into segues about various things related to teams and the game itself. We were really excited to record this episode and publish it, and we hope the conversation is one you enjoy as much as we did. - Artwork by Yagami.
