Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley joke about the unexpected power of Meg's sailors (and Jorge Polanco), compared to the Rangers' unexpected light lineup. They also discuss Jackson Chourio's comments about Julio Rodríguez, the long-awaited comeback of Lance McCullers Jr. and the quick comeback of Sandy Alcantara, literally Mookie Betts, Jose Altuve's self-knowledge, Rockies' theory, and Maverick Handley's presence. Then (38:11) Meg gives Ben some alone time with Tigers reliever John Brebbia, who talks about iPhones vs. Androids, social media, the prospect of becoming Ben's friend, indy ball, bears, spreadsheets, pitching for the 2024 White Sox, going from worst-to-first in the AL Central, being the new guy in a tightly bonded bullpen, pitch-calling, adapting, Brebbia's alma mater is an interesting baseball player (outside Brebbia), his post-future, potential new nicknames, and more, and a backup record (1:49:21).
