Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Bryce Harper pandering to Londoners, Kiké Hernández booting a ball during an in-game interview, banning player scouting cards to lower BABIP, the effect on home runs of widening the foul lines, Yusei Kikuchi, Tyler Soderstrom, and a foul-territory hypothetical, crediting managers for sacrificial ejections, Aaron Judge’s scalding hot streak, Luis Gil performing like Gerrit Cole, the Yankees’ candlelit clubhouse, Matt Waldron as the small-sample best pitcher in baseball, the dynamic duo of Tarik Skubal and Cole Ragans, follow-ups about non-hated dynasties, the Angels’ resilient attendance, a mid-PA pitching change, and pterodactyls and dinosaurs, plus closing banter about Buster Olney’s hacked-Twitter Luis Robert Jr. trade rumors.

As a Nats fan I enjoyed rooting for Harper for six seasons (not 2018 so much, since he seemed pretty clearly to be playing not to hurt himself as he approached free agency) and wish him no ill. But I admit that my favorite Bryce pander is when, in his introductory presser in Philadelphia, he spoke of bringing a championship to DC! Yeah, it was a slip of the tongue. But it worked! (it was in 2019)
