Episode Synopsis

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?00:00 INTRO04:23 The Opener09:45 Pitchers who need to prove themselves in 2023?17:53 MLB creates "Economic Reform Committee"24:05 Steve Cohen speaks27:16 What's next for Max Friend and Corbin Burnes?36:54 Aaron Judge playing left field this year?43:16 Clarke Schmidt's new pitch46:45 OUTRO Learn more about your ad choices.
