Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays-Mariners finale as Cal Raleigh once again played spoiler to help give Seattle the 6-1 victory. Blair and Barker examine Raleigh’s post-game comments suggesting he has “beef” with Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider, Yusei Kikuchi’s standout nine strikeout performance, and Yimi Garcia continuing to impress in the bullpen. Shane Bieber, Spencer Strider, Framber Valdez, Gerrit Cole… so many of MLB’s top pitchers have been hitting the IL with elbow injuries early in the 2024 campaign. The guys call up world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon and Tommy John surgery expert Dr. James Andrews for his opinion on the number of injuries, if the pitch clock is a main culprit, and the advice he should share to parents of young pitchers (25:37). Next, Orioles reporter Roch Kubatko talks about top prospect Jackson Holliday getting called up and making his MLB debut at Fenway Park (49:54). Later on, MLB insider and author of The Arm, Jeff Passan weighs-in further on the pitching epidemic, before discussing the iron men across baseball who strive to be in the lineup everyday (01:17:02).
