The Windup: A show about Baseball

In this basketball-baseball mashup, Tas and Joel discuss what would happen if position players could re-enter the game after being subbed out. Or, if players and managers were ejected after receiving two 'technical foul.' Or, if there was a 'restricted area' around home plate. The fellas then debate MLB stars that could play in the NBA, and NBA players that could suit up on the field. All that, plus what MLB can learn from the NBA, whether a non-American can be the face of baseball, and Joel finishes off with some basketball-baseball hybrid trivia questions for Tas.
