In Episode 402, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about Saberseminar and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 1. Judge, Jury, and Executioner of Middle-Middle Pitches: Aaron Judge had a good weekend, as did the very boring 2024 Yankees. Plus the inside scoop on his Paw Patrol spin-off appearance.2. August and Everything After: After chiding Craig for once again not getting another musical reference, we debated which of the Pirates, Tigers, and Nats we'd most like to root for going forward. 3. Around the Horn: Ohtani goes 40-40 and the White Sox go 100 losses. Plus, we discuss the prices of game-used jerseys.4. What to Watch: Not the Danny Jansen game (it already happened), instead try a World Series preview if there is such a thing.5. Games should not be this open-ended.Five and Dive is listener-supported, you can join our Patreon at patreon.com/fiveanddive.

SIS VP of Baseball Bobby Scales just watched Doyle play live and shares his thoughts on his game, as well as the outstanding defense of Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and third baseman Ryan McMahon. He also pays tribute to one All-Star close to his baseball heart (10:27). Then we're joined by Saberseminar co-founder Dan Brooks, who talked about the return of the baseball statistical conference this August in Chicago.
