Eno and DVR discuss a few injuries from the long weekend including the potential for an extended absence for Alex Bregman, an opportunity for Marcelo Mayer at third base, Michael King's long-term outlook, and Tarik Skubal's Sunday morning gem in Detroit. Plus, Joshua Rodrigues joins the show to discuss how we might be able to re-think classifying hitters with the recently released swing data from Baseball Savant using a combination of swing traits.
