Published: Sept. 19, 2020, 10 a.m.

b'In Episode 78, Emma and Craig chat about Fernando Tatis jr, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.

1. There\'s a lot to commend it: Why don\'t they just build the whole season out of the expanded playoffs?

2. Doing a disservice: Actually, it\'s about ethics in Nick Pivetta\'s service time

3. AQWhy are we playing baseball: playing baseball doesn\'t matter, the planet is dying.

4. Injury Roundup: Matt Chapman is out for the season. As is Jed Lowrie. We only break the big news on Five and Dive.

5. Bubble Bound: Josh Donaldson told an umpire to take that call and shove it.
