Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about Willians Astudillo’s first strikeout of the season (and whether strike three should have been a foul ball), then answer listener emails about Alex Verdugo and whether it’s better to play full-time in Triple-A or part-time in the majors, what baseball would be like if players had a finite number of career or seasonal plate appearances, Ichiro Suzuki with different hitting mechanics, the optimal way to distribute WAR across a roster, and whether pitchers have uneven arms, plus a Stat Blast about an ill-advised managerial move with the bases loaded.
