				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The voices of the minor leagues make their appearance on Artificial Turf Wars, as <a href="https://twitter.com/jgoldstrass" target="_blank">Jesse Goldberg-Strassler</a> of the Lansing Lugnuts and <a href="https://twitter.com/benwag247" target="_blank">Ben Wagner</a> of the Buffalo Bisons stop by to discuss Andy Burns, top prospects and life at various levels of the minors. Greg, Josh, and Chris also run through the recent stories surrounding the team including the excellent starting pitching, some issues with Troy Tulowitzki&#8217;s glove, hitting woes, Ryan Tepera&#8217;s brief return to the club, and the bizarre way managers handle bullpens in the ninth inning. Finally the guys answer a few listener questions, look at a bizarre &#8220;shift&#8221; from Buck Martinez, and tackle the cliché of major leaguers being former shortstops.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biomechanist Dr. Thomas Karakolis stops by the podcast to discuss the new High Performance Department, as well as the new rule allowing MLB players to use &#8220;wearables&#8221; and how they can help prevent future injury. Also, Greg and Josh discuss the Franklin Morales signing and break down the first slate of games with a focus on Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez&#8217; dominant starts, Josh Donaldson&#8217;s injury, and some odd bullpen usage by John Gibbons. The guys also answer some listener questions, give out a Do-Over to Gibby and hand out the first ATW Cliché of the Week to the phrase &#8220;he handles the bat well.&#8221;</p>
