In Episode 70, Bradford and Craig chat NBA playoffs and then tackle five mostly baseball topics.

1. Protocol Me Maybe: Zach Please has a blog, the Cardinals are back on the field, and baseball has some more (new) guidelines

2. Around the Horn: The unbalanced schedule is leading to some bad nights for Red Sox pitching, and J.A. Happ had a meeting that could have been an e-mail, or something like that.

3. Weights and Measures: The ball is un-dejuiced?

4. Welcome to Planet Earth, a debacle: Well, we agree with the overall sentiment, Joe. Kelly, but maybe less so with the specific point you are making.

5. A Look Forward: Bradford likes finesse pitchers. Craig wants to see if the Dbacks have what it takes (to make the playoffs along with half the league).
