DSH 25 - Call-Ups and Billionaire$

Dugout Study Hall

Expert layman Matt Goodwin (@TheCorkedMatt) and fake baseball economist Alexander Chase (@chase_rate) talk about mid-season call-ups, making sense of their minor league data, how it compares to Major League data, and what to look for as they accumulate more big-league at-bats. We also discuss the stadium situation in Oakland and billionaire owners.
