A day later than usual because we were traveling and distraught from watching the #Mets lose their 11th straight. News of the week includes the sudden passing of #Angels great Garret Anderson - so sad. #Dodgers Edwin Diaz to undergo surgery and will miss at least half the season.

Yordan Alvarez leads #MLB with 10 HRs and #Yankees Aaron Judge is right behind with 9. Who are the players with the highest bat speed in baseball? Which is more important to OPS - on-base average or slugging? We answer all in this fast-paced quick hitting episode!

Pitcher injuries are mounting especially if you wear an Astros uniform. We didn't mention the passing of Davey Lopes which was our mistake. Lopes stole 552 bases and was a member of the Dodgers infield for 10 years.

No teams have made much noise aside from the #dodgers. #pirates rookie Konnor Griffin got paid inking a 9-year $130M contract. #yankees are succeeding despite getting less than expected from reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge as well as being swept by the #Rats.

Do you know who invented the split-fingered fastball? It's made a resurgence and we talk about the history of the pitch, why it fell out of favor, and why it's back better than ever!

When #MLB started measuring players in order to more fairly deploy the ABS Challenge system, MLB players who had not been measured for years came up tinier! Why are they shrinking?

The season is already 5% gone and by the end of the week will be 10% in the rear view mirror! Can 162 games go by quickly? We discuss Jo Adell's amazing virtuoso defensive performance on April 4th. Any surprises in where teams are in the standings? We talk about that too!

The topic of the week is WRC+ - Weighted Runs Created Plus. It's cooler than it looks we promise!
