Dugout Study Hall

Expert layman Matt Goodwin (@TheCorkedMatt) and fake baseball economist Alexander Chase (@chase_rate) talk about thunderstorms, an off-season dynasty league trade, ERA, ERA estimators and substitutes, Luis Castillo, John Gant, Aaron Nola, Kenley Jansen, and more. Plus Matt gets deep about leaves. Apologies for the thunder in the background and Matt's mic issues.
