Fixing a Hole (with Rick Peterson)

Brian and Roger talked to former Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson about what really happened with the Scott Kazmir/Victor Zambrano trade, how pitchers like Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz should handle their injuries, his thoughts on the physics of pitching, how humor and "reframing" pressure situations helped him reach the likes of Jason Isringhausen and Jim Abbott, his childhood ambitions, and more.

The boys of Good Fundies also turned the METCON machine back on and brought back "Soup or Savior" to prematurely judge Tyler Pill. There was also a deep dive into the mailbag where they determined what Michael Conforto's "Judge's Chambers" equivalent would be called, if Rene Rivera and Wilmer Flores could beat a pile of dirt in a foot race, and more. Highlights from that segment included two very good Tommy Milone questions and some Beaumont, Texas trivia.
