About this episode

The episode discusses clutch players and season predictions in baseball with guest Michael Baumann.

Matt is far away, so FanGraphs' Michael Baumann pinch hits once more to talk about Derek Hill as the most clutch player alive, top-heaviness with hero ball, and how this season doesn't necessarily mean another 2012 is brewing.
