Then we talked to baseball writer Sam Miller about the most memorable things from the 2024 season (spoiler alert: there's a lot of Shohei Ohtani).

He walked us through the idea of ball, wall, ball and walked us through the best play he’s made in the minors . Note: After the interview, Chandler was the star of the minor league game at Rickwood Field on Tuesday (though he also left the game with a calf injury). He also told us all the different checkpoints he considers when thinking (or not thinking) about stealing a base. And he explained why he’s studying the hitting of Luis Arraez so closely. Jenn told us about how they used analytics as a way to calculate donations to LGBTQ-related causes, how the idea originated , MLB’s relationship with LGBTQ fans, and what a misidentified pair of socks can teach us about changing your thoughts when data presents itself to show that you’re wrong. Stephen explained his role at SIS and talked about some of the game’s breakout players in 2024. Thank you for listening.
