Jen, Sarah and Mary celebrate 52 weeks of THT Audio episodes by counting down their five favorite moments of the podcast. They also discuss two different injuries affecting the Dodgers: Rich Hill lobbying for pitchers to be allowed to tape their blisters while pitching and Clayton Kershaw’s return to the disabled list. June is also Pride Month, so they take a look at recent trends with MLB teams hosting Pride events. They suggest you take a look back at friend of the show Mina Dunn’s piece on the Nationals’ Pride Night from last season.

THT Audio is joined by The Athletics’ prospect writer and Detroit Tigers minor league writer, Emily Waldon, to discuss the upcoming MLB First Year Player Draft that starts on Jun. 4. Be sure to check out Eli Ben-Porat’s latest piece for The Hardball Times called Visualizing THE BOARD, which takes a look at different trends with the draft.
