I have audio now.

Did they do an anecdote about how Maldonado cheated last night and there were no consequences and they treated it like a cute little story?
Didn't watch game 1. What happened exactly?
He used a bat sent to him by Pujols. Those bats haven’t been legal since 2010 but Pujols was grandfathered in because he was using them prior to that. I thought I heard the barrel is slightly bigger.
Yes, they discussed it. Said it was illegal. Said he switched back to his bats. No comments about consequences. So basically, yes, a cute little story.

I’m sure the one black hole in the Astros lineup wasn’t looking for any sort of competitive edge.

It looks like the bat was banned for safety not because it gives an advantage. Basically they shatter easier and leave large shards of wood

It’s just hard to believe anything with the Astros. Like, that might be why the league outlawed the bats, and Maldonado wanted to use the bat because it has a bigger barrel. Both can be true.

two run shot Schwarber and we have a game again 5-3. Nevermind 5-1. They changed the call to foul. Schwarber almost hit another one, but it got caught at the wall.
