Then Mike and Dave start talking about things that are on their minds. Like old men shaking their hands at the clouds (Simpsons reference), they discuss:

• Why the possibility of the league introducing a new ball is the latest in a long line of unnecessary changes
• Why the landscape of predicting bullpens is nearly impossible these days
• Why knowing too much about the game of baseball is a bad thing
• Why fantasy leagues need to change their rules

Finally, in our Mental Health Moment, the guys talk about letting their feelings show and why it's important.
