Grant Brisbee is a writer and podcaster for The Athletic. We talk about the iconic 2004 matchup between Eric Gagne and Barry Bonds, which one YouTuber dubbed “one of the greatest matchups of the steroid era.” Also discussed: 100+ mph pitches, intentional walks, steroids, hating Barry, loving Barry, the rise of baseball blogging, bonkers Bonds’ stats, Even Year Magic, whether the Dodgers championship has an asterisk, and the best Wilco album.
