Episode Notes

In our last episode, Pesach and Scott were utterly mystified at how the Cardinals keep winning with.. well, basically nothing. But this week, Pesach offers some fascinating numbers that show where St. Louis excels, and why they win in the most boring manner possible. The pod also revisits the Mets' trades at the deadline, and argues that winning the World Series may actually be besides the point. Plus: listener feedback on the home run discussion, and Verlander writes another line on his HOF plaque.
