How to Savor September, and MLB's Home Run Future (Ep. 111)

The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh and Michael Baumann begin by recounting
the best listener-submitted nicknames for their guest on the
previous episode, Blue Jays hit-by-pitch machine Nick Sinay
(01:30). Then, with most of the pennant races decided, Ben and
Michael list some of the best reasons to pay attention to the rest
of regular-season baseball, from the few remaining playoff races to
team records to individual accomplishments (04:00). Lastly, they
bring on FanGraphs writer Travis Sawchik to discuss whether home
runs will keep coming at record rates (30:30), and how the current
high-home-run environment complicates scouting and team-building
(41:00). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
