Show Notes
The second edition of SSS on the Farm features Weekly Update writer Darren Black, reviewing the first six games of the season for each affiliate. We review most of the players Darren highlighted in his piece, including all of the MVPs of the week.
Here’s some of the stuff we drill down into:
- The two of us travel through the southeast, in both the SSS on the Farm-mobile, and also using the SSS on the Farm parasail, lack of Vox Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance be damned
- Are they using the old MLB balls in Birmingham, by way of explaining the Barons early slugging?
- Gavin Sheets is selling out for power, and will the resulting poorer K/BB rate hurt his shot at the majors?
- Darren has a theory for some early and exotic position changes (Romy González, Bryan Ramos): It’s the White Sox’s new “just stick some players anywhere” theory
- Talk about the K&K Boys in Birmingham, and the J&J Boys in Winston-Salem
- Eventually we will see and read that law school slacker Julie Brady on the podcast, but meanwhile Darren and Brett have to carry the mail
- Hey, you might have heard Brett is high on José Rodríguez. He maybe mentions that again in this podcast
- Yes, Brett remembered to plug in his microphone
