Welcome to Talking Baseball. We've got a fun episode coming up an interview with a scientist

to tell us about the balls.

What's going on everybody? It is Talking Baseball. A little Friday episode. My name is John

Boy. I got Jake. I got Trevor. We got producer BBD with us and we have a very fun interview

coming up. How are you guys doing? Welcome to Talking Baseball, the podcast that we're all on

three days a week. How are you? I'm great. How are you guys doing? Fantastic. Fantastic. Left,

left, neck, shoulder, slash back area, really hurting. Trevor, if you've got some good stretches,

I'm open to that. Otherwise, I'm okay. You should just get in your jacuzzi in your back,

Jared. Yeah. Oh, God. That was a good one. I think we need to talk about Trevor's tidbits. Just

sort of a second before we go into this interview because last episode we did Trevor's tidbits. No plan

going into the episode right before we roll Trevor goes, I got some tidbits. Turns out, fantastic

episode by us. All your tidbits were right, man. Your first. Yeah. You know, it seems like

this podcast is about a week ahead of the rest of the world as far as your baseball news. So if you

need to be first with your baseball news, you know where to find us. Boom. We have a guest coming up

that Jake and I met at winter meetings in November. Blue, if I don't know how many times you

and Meredith have interacted, but she is a data scientist who has been studying baseballs for two

years. A whole long conversation all about the 2017 baseballs, the 2019 baseballs. What happened in

the post season and all of this stuff? Producer, BBC, can you hit us with two of those stats to remind

people how big of a difference the balls had on the effect of the outcome of the games?

Yeah, it's BBD first of all. What I say, I say that sometimes. Yeah, it's about the penis.

I don't worry about it, Dave. It's fine. It's the stat. Stat in 2019.

I'll check out the low number first or the high number first? Low number first. Low number first.
