Welcome back to Product Misfires, Thirdbridge's podcast where we uncover the challenges of digital product development and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
In this episode, PE sits down with Eric Gagné, former MLB pitcher and World Series champion, to explore the intersection of sports and technology—where some innovations knock it out of the park, and others completely miss.
Eric shares his perspective on some of the biggest tech shifts in baseball, from the 2017 Astros sign-stealing scandal to the rise of automated balls and strikes (ABS). They discuss how data and analytics have transformed the game—for better or worse—and why baseball’s deep-rooted traditions can make change so difficult.
As a player who’s witnessed both the human side of the game and the growing presence of tech, Eric reflects on his own experience with product misfires, and what it takes to bounce back.
Whether you're a sports fan, a product thinker, or just curious about how tech plays out in unexpected places, this episode offers a fresh take on innovation, timing, and the art of making change stick.
