About this episode
Kevin Hasting from Pitcher List and the "On The Wire" podcast joins Sara and Shelly to discuss some key player takeaways one quarter of the way into the MLB season. Discussions: Blue Jays hitters have underperformed since the renovations to the Rogers Centre and Bo Bichette is off to a particularly slow start. Is there cause for concern or is it just a cold stretch? William Contreras is the fourth most valuable hitter in baseball according to the FanGraphs player rater, is this a breakout or just a hot streak? Closer chaos: closers get pushed up every draft season, but the most valuable closers so far weren't in the top tier during draft season. Are early closers a good investment? The Rays are Raysing and this time Jonny DeLuca and Richie Palacios find themselves fighting for playing time -- who do we like more rest of season? Michael Massey has been hot recently would you rather take a chance on Massey or stick with a proven guy like Jeff McNeil ? Jack Flaherty is off to a great start, is it sustainable? Love it or Leave it Baseball is better when everyone competes and we love seeing the Nationals, Tigers, Royals, Athletics and other teams hovering around .500. Gunnar Henderson had an epic Star Wars bat for May the Fourth be with you celebrations. Dexter Fowler was drafted out of high school but promised his parents he'd finish his degree. He kept his word and graduated from Penn State this week.
