Summary
Frank is back but maybe Scott should remain the host after his great performance! Who were the biggest standouts from Wednesday's action (1:41)? Aaron Nola was incredible why Kyle Tucker has earned consistent playing time! Should we be more excited about Dallas Keuchel and Adrian Houser? ... Max Scherzer left his start Wednesday with a hamstring injury (9:08) but it sounds like he should be fine. .. In other news, Nick Madrigal was placed on the IL with a separated shoulder, Josh James is being moved to the bullpen, and Ozzie Albies also landed on the IL (11:08). Who are some second basemen you can add to replace him? We have more bullpen news and this time Rafael Montero is set to return for the Rangers while the Cardinals closer role seems wide open (15:21). ... Christian Yelich was out of the lineup Wednesday against a lefty (21:37). Is there any reason to be concerned? His approach has been weird thus far. ... We had a lot of randomly strong pitching performances on Wednesday (27:43). Who is more enticing between Kris Bubic, Randy Dobnak, and Kyle Gibson? Chris and Frank also remind Scott why they're fans of Tyler Mahle (36:04). ... After more clunkers, can you drop J.A. Happ, Sean Manaea, Lance McCullers, or Robbie Ray (40:30)? ... What is our concern level for Mike Clevinger after back-to-back five-walk games (47:02)? We wrap up with the latest closer performances from Wednesday (56:10)! ...
