Shohei Ohtani will have missed a full month to end the season. He’s still the AL MVP, right? The hosts size up the Dodgers potential rotation for a division series, which team in line for a bye has the strongest playoff rotation, and where the Yankees begin with self-evaluation.

102 | David Cone on how to fix Luis Severino, the Braves lineup, MLB Wild Card races Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

David, Justin and James examine why several pitchers are thriving early with their new teams following the trade deadline. The trio believes the Mariners can continue to win, and they look at other teams in the wild card hunt who could go on an extended run. Coney assesses where Luis Severino is for the Yankees, and why Michael King transitioning into a starter makes sense.

101 | David Cone on the Dodgers rotation, Shane McClanahan's injury, Yankees' fate Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

With the expanded playoff format, David, Justin and James wonder whether the trade deadline needs to be extended by two weeks. The hosts size up the Rays chances without Shane McClanahan, the Dodgers chances with an improving Julio Urias, and which division race intrigues them more: the AL West or NL Central? We’ve reached the point where we wonder whether the Yankees offense can pick up New York’s starting rotation. Former catcher Rick Cerone joins the show!

100 | David Cone reacts to the MLB trade deadline Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

After the trade deadline, all the focus is on the AL West race in Texas. David believes Max Scherzer will make the biggest impact for his new team, the Rangers. James and Justin believes it will be Justin Verlander for the Astros. The hosts recap the historic day for the Astros, which ended in Framber Valdez’s no-hitter, and the polar opposite historic day for the Mets. Did the Dodgers, Rays and Orioles do enough? What does it mean that the Yankees did close to nothing?

99 | David Cone reacts to the Yankees hiring Andy Pettitte, MLB trade deadline, Shohei Ohtani Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

David, Justin and James tackle some big topics with a week before the trade deadline. Have we seen the Rays at their low point, and what deals can they swing to put them over the top? The hosts do their weekly check-in on the Shohei Ohtani situation in Anaheim, and stress the fact that if the Angels decide to hold on to Ohtani, they need to be big buyers at the deadline. What did front offices learn from the Josh Hader trade last summer? Also, how are the best teams in baseball approaching the deadline? Coney believes the Yankees addition of Andy Pettitte to their staff is another example of teams trying to copy the Braves blend of real experience and new information.

98 | David Cone reacts to Shohei Ohtani vs the Yankees and his future Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

David, Justin and James go all in on Shohei Ohtani! Will he break Aaron Judge’s AL home run record? How do the Angels separate business from baseball with Ohtani’s impending free agency and the trade deadline two weeks away? Do east coast teams need to trade for Ohtani to entice him to sign during free agency? Also, which clubs make sense for pitchers on teams already waiving the white flag? In the Yankees discussion, the crew wonders how perilous the Yankees season is at the moment, and whether it should force them to loosen up their “bullpen rules.”
