Then, Jake Peavy talks about how pitchers attack a torpedo bat, the Reds’ pitching staff and Spencer Schwellenbach coming for your lunch. Later, Sarah Langs on Corbin Carroll’s early resurgence. Finally, Todd Radom shares his thoughts on the latest City Connect uniforms, delivers this week’s Ballpark & Beyond, and administers the quiz.
