Later, how long is the leash on Clarke Schmidt in the Yankees rotation, and what are the Yankees saying by whom they’re playing in the outfield?

David, Justin and James are scratching their heads wondering why we are hearing from so many MLB owners at the start of spring training, which should only produce happy thoughts. David pays tribute to the late Tim McCarver, who was on the call for David’s perfect game in 1999. The crew each gives one starter and one reliever who they believe has the most to prove in 2023. The hosts respond to why MLB has decided to create its “economic reform committee.” They discuss how Mets owner Steve Cohen is beginning to ingratiate himself into baseball operations, and later, touch on the arbitration process and approach that seemingly went over the line as it relates to Brewers star Corbin Burnes. Finally, is Aaron Judge actually part of the Yankees left field solution? Could a new pitch for Clarke Schmidt put him in position for a starting rotation spot?

The gang then reacts to the extensions given to Yu Darvish and Christian Javier, and whether new Astros GM Dana Brown will copy the model he worked with in Atlanta by signing Houston’s young, core-players to team friendly extensions. The hosts touch on the crackdown of position players pitching, the adversity in front of the Rays and whether we need to temper expectations with the Yankees starting rotation in the wake of Nestor Cortes’ injury.

David believes negative comments had to be made by the Braves in their recent arbitration hearing with Max Fried. Coney then answers what Carlos Beltran can provide pitchers in his new role with the Mets.

The hosts dive into some of the recent comments made by the ownerships families from the Reds and Orioles, and how the three model franchises (Dodgers, Astros and Braves) have largely been idle when it comes to big free agent spending. The hosts discuss Max Fried’s contract situation with Atlanta, and what pitching coaches around MLB should be preaching during spring training with new rules being introduced.

The crew praises the Phillies acquisition of Gregory Soto and pick their top National League bullpens with a month to go before spring training. The hosts explain what the Yankees addition of Brian Sabean and Omar Minaya to their front office staff means for the future.

David, Justin and James usher in 2023 by taking a look at what may happen with Trevor Bauer’s immediate future as a MLB pitcher. David and James believe the poison of the entire situation will be too much for other teams to deal with if the Dodgers release Bauer. Justin believes Bauer will receive another chance somewhere because history has shown that you will get another opportunity if you have elite talent. The crew also discusses whether the Yankees should be monitoring the holdup between the Mets and Carlos Correa, just as the Mets did with Correa and the Giants. They go through which contender still has the most to do when it comes to addressing pitching, and Justin presents an elite name that these teams should go after via trade. David reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Yankees purchase by George Steinbrenner. Also, who could follow Judge and Ohtani as AP Male Athlete of the Year?

The crew goes over his increased K-rate the last couple of seasons, the range of fastball velocity he possesses, and David believes Rodón shouldn’t tweak anything that has brought him to this point until he has to. Coney believes the versatility of the Yankees rotation is what could make it great. The crew also drew comparisons to Tino Martinez when it comes to Rodón’s arrival in the Bronx. Elsewhere, the hosts think the rumor of Max Fried being available is something we all should keep in the back of our minds. What should the Yankees do next?

David, Justin and James react to the news that Aaron Judge agreed to re-sign with the Yankees for nine years and $360 million. The crew feels this wraps up a masterful year of negotiating tactics by Judge and his advisors. They also give credit to the Yankees for bringing Judge back, but feel this is a moment where the organization has a chance to go even further and add another blue-chip talent like Carlos Rodon. The hosts also praise the Padres for, despite not coming away with Judge or Trea Turner, operating like a financial power within the game when they are in the bottom third in MLB in market size.

David thinks we should focus more on potential trades over the next several days rather than free agent signings. The crew discusses the White Sox signing of Mike Clevinger, and how that could end up being a steal for Chicago. As far as the starting pitchers at the top of the free agent class go, the hosts wonder whether Carlos Rodon signs before Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom. The crew is split over whether they’d rather have Verlander or deGrom if money wasn’t an issue. They also discuss how the shortstop market is tied directly to Aaron Judge.

David provides insight from a discussion he had with Houston Astros owner Jim Crane in regards to the team’s decision to move away from GM James Click. Both Coney and Justin wonder how much will it take for Justin Verlander to come pitch for your team in 2023. David believes the Yankees could be in play again. Justin believes the Mets would be better served with Verlander on a short-term deal over re-signing Jacob deGrom. Producer (and noted Aaron Judge stan) Dan Rourke joins the discussion as Aaron Judge’s free agency takes center stage. As the Giants are rumored to be in pursuit of the slugger, what would David tell Judge about signing with his hometown team? How could the Yankees address other areas with money in the event Judge signs elsewhere? What about if he stays? David and Justin also discuss the important Rule 5 and non-tender deadlines that team’s are making this week that could open the floodgates to off-season trades and signings.

David, Justin and James believe the more talented team in the Astros has found a grip on this World Series. David feels Justin Verlander delivered a master class in how to pitch around certain hitters in Game 5 on the way to picking up his first career World Series win. The crew also discusses Christian Javier’s role in a potential Game 7, and examines how Javier’s “invisa-ball” has become one of the best pound-for-pound pitches in MLB. The crew talks about the two numbers fans should watch for when Zack Wheeler starts Game 6 on Saturday.

Their message: don’t give them something to boo over. On to the World Series! Is there any additional strategy to having the Phillies start Aaron Nola in Game 1? How much do Nola and Justin Verlander have to prove in the opening game? We’ll see an all-time matchup in Verlander vs. Bryce Harper; who needs to set the tone for the series more? Will the Astros pitching staff go after Harper? Do the Astros have the bullpen personnel to get Philly’s big lefty bats out? Are two starters and four relievers enough for the Phils in this series? Length from Nola and Zack Wheeler will be paramount, win or lose. Plus, what an 11-0 postseason would mean for the Astros.

David, Justin and James recap where the Yankees fell short in the ALCS, and how natural it feels to second-guess every single move in the wake of the team losing. The crew believes that while pitching decisions could have been questioned, the offense was the culprit. Justin wonders how the Astros make the postseason not look like a crapshoot. They all agree something was off with how the Yankees operated the shortstop position this year, which didn’t do Isiah Kiner-Falefa any favors. The off-season will be a domino effect with Aaron Judge’s free agency. In the NLCS, the crew discusses the Padres decision to leave Josh Hader in the bullpen and not face Bryce Harper in the eighth inning of Game 5. They also praise Dave Dombrowski and explain why all other organizations can take something away from his approach.

David, Justin and James look back to the first two ALCS games in Houston and look ahead to Game 3 in New York on Saturday. The crew thinks too little credit was being given to the top two Astros pitchers as to why the Yankees offense struggled, but now, the Yankees have their top two pitchers going in Games 3 and 4. David didn’t have a big issue with the way the Yankees handled their pitching staff in Game 1, and says the pitching approach to Jeremy Peña is the biggest key moving forward. The crew discusses what allows Justin Verlander, at age 39, to reach cruise control. They focus on the NLCS as the series shifts to Philly, and how exciting it is to have stars excelling. David believes the Padres have figured out how to deploy Josh Hader, and it’s making a huge difference at the right time.

David, Justin and James get set for the Division Series and preview every matchup. David believes Gerrit Cole is going to succeed in his moment for the Yankees. The crew discusses why Aroldis Chapman’s absence may be addition by subtraction. They also discuss why the Mariners are equipped to pull off the upset of the Astros, how the Braves could utilize Spencer Strider and what Joe Musgrove has done to elevate his stature for the Padres. David and Justin feel differently about Buck Showalter’s decision to have Musgrove checked for a foreign substance. Overall, the biggest takeaway from the Wild Card round? Starting pitching is more important now compared to recent postseasons! Plus, Pedro, Shane Bieber and Sarah Langs.

Matt Blake rejoins the show to discuss the end of the regular season for the Yankees, what fans can expect from the bullpen during the playoffs and how the team survived its rough stretch late in the summer. Blake also details how the Yankees deal with the outside noise in New York and around the country. He explains the process of getting trade acquisitions (Lou Trevino, Scott Effross) acclimated and in a position to succeed out of the bullpen. David, Justin and James put a bow on Aaron Judge’s regular season. Coney believes the return to “the art of pitching” is what he’ll remember the most about the 2022 regular season. The crew discusses why the Texas Rangers could be the most attractive destination for prospective managers, and they make their picks for the Wild Card round.

Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie joins the show to discuss his breakout season, what it took for Cleveland to seize the AL Central, how he uses pitching technology during games and why he and his teammates are embracing the doubters as they gear up for the playoffs. David, Justin and James touch on Aaron Judge closing out one of the best offensive seasons we’ve ever seen, regardless of era. The crew examines what Spencer Strider’s absence means for the Braves, who could get big outs in the Dodgers bullpen during October, Luis Castillo’s new contract and reactive pitching as it relates to Gerrit Cole. Plus, Bob Gibson’s stellar start in the ‘68 Fall Classic, Tyler Glasnow’s season debut, Luis Severino’s reemergence and Kyle Bradish.

David, Justin and James touch on both Cy Young races and explain why players like Max Fried and Dylan Cease will have a chance to change the narrative for the award during the stretch-run. The crew analyzes Spencer Strider’s recent 16-strikeout performance and wondered whether it was the best pitching performance of 2022. Do the Braves have the best rotation built for the postseason? What do the Dodgers do after they clinch everything? Why haven’t the Yankees started Oswald Peraza every day? Also, the crew discusses The Athletic’s interview Joe Maddon, as he sounded off on how front offices handle analytics. Plus, Zac Gallen’s streak, Hunter Brown, Kody Clemens, ‘99 Pedro and this season’s home run chase.

David, Justin and James examine what it takes for teams to get through the “dog days.” David believes the Yankees calling up young players from AAA may help the struggling veterans. The crew recaps Verlander/Cease from Tuesday night, looks ahead to whether this next week will be “the week” for the White Sox, and handicaps the race in the AL Central. Do the Dodgers have enough starting pitching depth for the playoffs? Why can’t more teams operate like the Braves? Do the Giants and Red Sox still have a chance? Plus, a look at the new playoff format, and some love for Brady Singer and the Royals.

David is back! Coney has returned following his hip surgery and he and the crew highlight all the great technology that was seen at the All Star Game, and what it could mean for the future fan-viewing experience. David, Justin and James dive deeper into pitchers being mic’d up during the game, and how players are programmed coming out of the break. They also dissect some of Rob Manfred’s recent comments on baseball composition & minor league pay. Then, the crew discusses whether a Juan Soto trade will happen before the deadline, how the Yankees and other teams could approach potential deals for Soto and Luis Castillo, and whether the Mets need more pitching given the latest setback for Jacob deGrom. Each host gave their biggest pitching storyline to watch for during the 2nd half. Plus, the anniversary of David’s perfect game, and a look at how relief dominance was on display at the Midsummer Classic.
