Summary
Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features an interview with Cincinnati Reds left-hander Amir Garrett, who walks us through everything from 'The Fight' to his dogs in a wide-ranging, delightful 90-minute interview (46:29). The crew also gets into the ongoing labor and return-to-play conversations (4:45); the talk of Armando Galarraga and 'fixing' his perfect game mistake, along with changes to the MLB Draft (2:16:35), before finishing up with Twitter questions and some final thoughts on the Next Decade Draft!

| 0:24.9 | a happy anniversary, Dallas, a 10-year anniversary of the perfect game. |
| 0:28.4 | Thank you, my friend. Thank you. We're a little late, but worth the wait. I appreciate that. |
| 0:32.8 | Yeah. Well, I did. I did write a nice blog. |

| 0:40.5 | I woke up. I thought my testicles were sweating and then I realized, no, but I think I'm just like |

| 1:14.8 | propped up by, you know, the teammates that surround him. And we can argue about whether a perfect |
| 1:21.3 | game or a perfect podcast is a greater achievement, but I mean, |
