   S3: Episode 4 - How do you learn and grow?

   In this episode, the boys start off strong with a piece of later-corrected misinformation about one of America's most popular whiskies. After setting the record straight, the discussion turns to the subject of how umpires learn and grow, who umpires look up to, and how to get better.

   S3: Episode 2 - A little bit about balks

   In this unusually-short episode of Balls, Strikes, & Bourbon, Josh and Bernnie spend thirty minutes reminding everyone that deception alone is not enough to call a balk. That's it, that's the whole show. Bernnie forgot to add the email address for those of you who want to contact us, so here it is: balls.strikes.bourbon@gmail.com
