Show Notes
DVR and Al discuss where to add recently-promoted Mariners pitching prospect Emerson Hancock and what changes to expect in the Orioles’ rotation in the coming weeks. They also consider whether the ranks of teams to stream pitchers against has changed over the course of the season, and whether Matthew Liberatore has earned our trust in favorable matchups. DVR and Al talk about the growing ranks of young players on the Athletics’ roster, and they conclude by looking for saves in the Tigers’ bullpen.
