Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci highlight the Braves changing their 3rd base coach and how rarely you see that happen.  We touch on the Knicks moving on from Tom Thibodeau and Joe explains why he doesn't understand the move.  Was the rundown with Orioles rookie Coby Mayo just bad base-running or was it a dirty play?  Joe thinks this could show the importance of spending time in the minor leagues.  Why does Tom think the game needs more players like Brewers RF Sal Frelick?  Joe reveals how you create a shift in the types of players you're coaching.  Plus, Joe thinks he's seeing a trend at the plate, but do the stats support it?
