What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. More in Pitching Podcasts from Pitcherlist.com.

My name is Nick Pollack. Today is March 12th. And yes, we are going to talk about baseball.

Lucas G. Alito through one inning, not televised, not on Stadcast. And then he was removed. Why?

Because he has a minor hamstring injury. It's tightness. He's trying to downplay it a ton, which is good.

He's saying, like, is it even an injury?

We don't even know.

He's going to get an MRI just to be safe, but he could make his next start.

I think we're going to see Woodruff, yeah, before April ends, and you want to be able to make that decision.

Is this someone that's actually real or not?

Because obviously we know the ceiling of Woodruff, so let's just see how that goes. Max Scherzer is scratched from his Thursday start tomorrow due to
