Adapting to the New Pitching Environment

Which pitchers in the new wave of starters can we trust? With the greater-than-usual attrition that we've had this spring, Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson have had to reach into a different pool of starters to fill their rosters, and will go over those players. Plus, we discuss the latest on Shohei Ohtani, Kevin Gausman, Paul Sewald and the Cardinals outfield.

00:00 - Shohei Ohtani. Doesn’t really matter if we believe him. Will there be a fallout that will impact his playing status?

08:15 - Kevin Gausman looked great on Monday. Back to being a 2nd round pick?

13:00 - Dylan Carlson is hurt and the Cards are running out of OFs. Lars Nootbaar took soft toss and is making progress. Victor Scott!

18:00 - Garrett Mitchell to IL. Joey Ortiz to 3B? Drop Mitchell?

21:00 - DLJM to IL. Is he worth waiting for?

25:30 - Paul Sewald to the IL. Kevin Ginkel time?

32:30 - Bryan Woo to IL. I don’t think that Emerson Hancock is a must-add, but he’s interesting.

36:15 - Justin Verlander to throw 2 innings of BP on Tuesday. 

39:00 - All the new SPs. Because all the ones who were going in Rd. 24-30 in early March are now either being drafted earlier or are injured 

41:15 - Max Meyer

45:00 - Ryan Weathers

48:45 - Jordan Hicks

50:50 - Casey Mize

52:20 - Jared Jones

54:30 - Ryne Nelson

58:15 - Bowden Francis

1:01:30 - Garrett Crochet, Tylor Megill, Luis Gil, Tyler Alexander.
