DSH 20 - Hey Now, You're an All-Star?

Dugout Study Hall

Expert layman Matt Goodwin (@TheCorkedMatt) and fake baseball economist Alexander Chase (@chase_rate) start off talking about the missive from MLB about pitchers doctoring the ball and then dive into the All-Star balloting, process, and results so far from the point of view of math, fans, and their own personal opinions.
