The Baseball Rabbi Podcast
Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn
(86) The Pirates' Predicament, Playoffs and Parity, Stolen Base Value, and Baseball's Mount Rushmore
Episode Notes
With the baseball season more than halfway finished, it's safe to say that the Pittsburgh Pirates are a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad team - and the tragedy is that this was management's choice. Pesach goes off on a rant about the mismanagement of the Pirates, and how this franchise differs from other currently bad MLB teams. The Baseball Rabbi also looks at the "Extreme Team" American League versus the "Everyone Has a Chance" National League, and more on contextual stolen base value (hello, Bert Campaneris!). Plus: Scott talks about the Mount Rushmore of the NFL and Major League Baseball. What four faces belong?
