theathetlic.com/spinrate Drew and baseball analytics writer for The
Athletic, Eno Sarris, have a substantive conversation
about...substances...on MLB's new baseballs (5:00). Eno discerns
new and existing substances used on balls and how they may
influence the league's regulations. New substances are, ironically,
coating new baseballs (16:00). How is the Major League's newest
stitched marble impacting today's game? In what way can the league
alter the ball to possibly engage more casual fans? Eno spits
straight facts (depending on who you ask) about Vlad Jr., Bo, and
Steven Matz (23:30). Plus, Eno talks about being away from
ballparks and the latest beers to capture his attention and taste
buds (33:00). Follow Drew on Twitter: @DrewGROF Follow Eno on
