Intro/Ben's Biz Banter (0:00)

Tyler, Sam and Ben open this week's edition of the podcast by talking about the front-office reaction to the start of the Minor League season and some of May's most Crooked Numbers.

Bowling Green's Karen Night (14:09)

The Hot Rods held Karen Night on June 3 that allowed anyone named Karen (regardless of spelling) to get into the ballpark for free. GM Eric Leach, along with a special guest, joins the show to talk about the promotion.

Three Strikes (22:54)

Tyler and Sam break down some popup prospects and Jackson Kowar's ascent to the Majors. The cohosts also debate whether it's really that important to touch all the bases on a home run following a call against Bobby Witt Jr. this week.

Ghosts of the Minors (49:34)

Josh Jackson really ties the podcast together (hint, hint) with another game-show segment about a Minor League team from the past.
