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 is a very special one, featuring an interview with the Ironman himself, the Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr, who walks through his childhood in the game, his influences, his thoughts on the modern game and much more. This podcast also represents the much-awaited Awards podcast, where the crew breaks down each of the awards - MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year - in both leagues. Mookie or Trout for AL MVP? Cora, Melvin or Cash for AL Manager? Soto or Acuna for NL ROY? Dallas and Jared break it all down. The crew also hits on the news of the week, including Bryce Harper's $300M offer from the Nationals, Lance McCullers Tommy John surgery, CC Sabathia returning to the Yankees, Dave Roberts and the Dodgers agreeing to an extension and the prospect of the Mariners blowing it all up!
