We discuss the major points of MLB’s memo on sticky stuff and how the real referendum for pitchers is coming on June 21, when MLB will start enforcing the rules (10:15). Then, we discuss the Athletics and Giants, two teams that are overperforming expectations so much that we’ve started to wonder if they’re both going to win their divisions (34:00). Finally, we preview the best series of the weekend (52:00).
