Ben Lindbergh Joins the Podcast!!!

Dylan, Henry & Ryan are joined by The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh! Like Dylan & Ryan, Ben is both a Regis H.S. & St. David's School graduate and also hosts a podcast: Effectively Wild.  On this episode, the guys break down 2 main concepts around the league: analytics and sticky stuff. After starting with a discussion about Ben's 2 analytic driven books, DHR & Ben talk about to what extent analytics should be used in comparison to emotion, the eyeball test, old school scouting, and clubhouse camaraderie.  Then they get to the league's big issue. Topics include Max Scherzer v. Joe Girardi, Sergio Romo's pants, Clayton Kershaw's theory, Mickey Jannis' knuckleball and Tylor Megill's MLB Debut.  Finally, with an official BBWAA writer on the pod, Henry gives his best effort to convince Ben why Coco Crisp deserves a Hall of Fame Vote!  To join the fun, interact with the guys, and be featured in a future episode, contact us on twitter @SideRetiredPod, DM's are always open!
