Steve interviews Adnan Virk (00:09:58) from DAZN and MLB Network. Adnan reflects on the end of his run at ESPN, talks about being a father, and debuts a fantastic Chris Russo impression. Adnan also talks about podcasting with Michael Lombardi, his love for baseball, and rips Forrest Gump to shreds.
Also, Greg Wyshynski(00:44:47) from ESPN joins us to talk about the NHL Playoffs. Greg talks about the Carolina Hurricanes and their reliance on analytics and explains why the St. Louis Blues aren't as big of a darling in the analytics community. Greg also talks about his New Jersey Devils winning the draft lottery, his career at ESPN, and the pros and cons of Patreon.
Steve starts the show with rusty and talks way too fast. If we are being honest, the intro is trash and Steve stinks. The book club gets serious about the new book by Blake J. Harris and has no idea what is going on with Bob Klapisch and his book about the Yankees. The show ends with one last thing about Steve's health failing, his surgery, and the effect it has had on his family.
