The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon exploring some of the rule changes coming to baseball this season.  Joe really likes one rule specifically and thinks it should've happened a long time ago.  Tom feels like 'pace' of the game is more important than how long the game takes.  How long does Tom think it will take for players to adjust to the changes?  With the shift no longer being allowed, Joe is curious to see if it changes pitching at all.  We wrap up with the one statistic that Tom expects to see have an increase this season after these rule changes and the recent music playlist that helped Joe through a tough spot while traveling.

The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
