Today's word of the day is ‘commissioner' as in Rob Manfred as in Adam Silver as in MLB as in NBA. Let's start with baseball and what Rob had to say. He brought up expansion and salary caps and softball. What does it all mean? (15:50) Adam Silver then took the stage and he had some things to say: expansion, NBA Europe. (34:07) Review: Number One on the Call Sheet. (39:10) NBA playoffs are in full swing. The Lakers bounced back! Luka and LeBron were not going down 0-2. The Thunder and Grizzlies series is not a fair matchup. The Pacers and Bucks do not like each other and it shows. (41:40) Anthony Edwards keeps getting fined. He's up to $370,000 in fines this year. Is this form of punishment just not working? (44:30) NPPOD. (46:00) The NFL draft is tomorrow from Green Bay! But we'll focus on the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones teased a trade, but that was it.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins are swept in a three game series against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. The boys breakdown all of the missed chances throughout the series, along some questionable decisions from the manager, Rocco Baldelli. The guys discover a potential new rule to present to Rob Manfred, and walk through the numerous roster moves made by the Twins in the last few days. David wonders if it's time to let Rocco go, and Dan wants to know why it's taken Rocco this long to discover that stealing bases is a good strategic option with the increased base sizes and the limit on the number of pickoff attempts.

Deion says people are only griping about Shedeur's jersey retirement because of his name... why he's right, but not for the reason he thinks. Good news for Portland Diamond Project. Worst Day on the Web: Katy Perry may have been higher than the altitude at which she went to space. Rob Manfred says if you can't afford to go to a Dodgers game you should just go to an Angels game instead.

It's the boss' retirement party today! NBA Playoffs start tomorrow. Will some NBA superstars be on the move this offseason? Luka is one of us. Deion Sanders has very little self-awareness. Good news for Portland Diamond Project. Worst Day on the Web: Katy Perry might be less self-aware than Deion Sanders. Rob Manfred says fans should go to Angels games if they can't afford Dodgers games. Which playoff team is most likely to pull off an upset? An end to 5-year eligibility rule for college athletes? "Or" - NBA Playoffs edition. Quite possibly Mike Leach's most insane idea.

Ed and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to share their thoughts on the use of Torpedo bats in today's MLB. Rob Manfred said recently that he feels the bats are "absolutely good", but is it really that simple?

Maybe we spoke too soon. Dr. Elizabeth Strom, a professor of urban politics and policy at The University of South Florida and an editor at DRays Bay, a Tampa Bay Rays blog on SB Nation, returns to our podcast this week. Two years ago, Episode 143 to be exact, Dr. Strom appeared to discuss what then looked like a solid deal for a new ballpark in St. Petersburg. A lot has happened since - most of it not good for Rays fans, at least Rays fans that want the team to stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Dr. Strom spills the tea and brings us up to date in this episode.You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Bobby shares a dispatch from the Cactus League before he and Alex discuss a bevy of news items from the past week — including Gerrit Cole's impending Tommy John surgery, Fanatics and Ticketmaster teaming up to make a steaming pile of garbage, and reports that Rob Manfred and a cohort of owners are pressuring Stu Sternberg to sell the Rays so that they can stay in Tampa. Then, Bobby and Alex are joined by 'Eephus' director Carson Lund to discuss his debut feature — a unique and incredibly lived-in story about the final day of a men's adult baseball league and the emotionality baked into baseball (in its many forms).
