Thinking about thinking! Keith Law makes his return to the show and
discusses how the minor leagues could be impacted by the ongoing
stoppage in play and his new book, The Inside Game, researching
behavioural economics and the history of cognitive bias among
baseball decision-makers. Keith shares some of the people he spoke
with for the book, including former Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos,
and weighs in on whether or not family ties in pro baseball could
be part of the same conversation. Plus, we discuss the punishment
handed down to the Red Sox by Rob Manfred and what differentiates
it from the Astros scandal, how both could impact the role of video
replay in baseball, and we look ahead to the start of the Korean
baseball season. Keith's new book, The Inside Game: Bad Calls,
Strange Moves, and What Baseball Behavior Teaches Us about
Ourselves, is available now at BookShop.org Learn more about your
