Summary

Before closing with a fantastic David Peralta story, Mike Ferrin, MLB Network Radio host and Diamondbacks broadcaster, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball for a conversation about what's changing within baseball -- for the better. With the Nolan Arenado Show and the Cardinals' victory in the second game of a series against Arizona as the backbone of a wide-ranging discussion, Ferrin and St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold mention rule changes, foreign substance crackdown, and strike zone shifts that could improve play. But they also explore how younger fans connect with the game through on-demand highlights and how emotions that are celebrated in October are finding their way into a series in May -- and it's time to embrace that. Baseball has become a power game, for hitters and for pitchers, and now the power of some personalities are taking over, for the better. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of StlToday.com, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Derrick Goold.
