Summary

Hembo and Buster discuss the Dodgers’ feasible path to 117 wins, the San Diego Padres extending Jackson Merrill and the Boston Red Sox extending Garrett Crochet, Aaron Judge chasing a number you won’t expect, and whether they’re panicking over Roki Sasaki and Rafael Devers. Then, Eric Hosmer talks about his reaction to the torpedo bats, how worried he is about the Braves’ start, Jurickson Profar’s 80-game suspension, how he would clean up the sport from PEDs. Later, Washington Nationals pitcher MacKenzie Gore on his 13 strikeout Opening Day.
