In this episode, Paul Sporer and Eno Sarris discuss the injury news around Matt Adams and Scott Kazmir before finishing w/the brief injury scare around Wei-Yin Chen that turned out to be nothing… so far. They dive into the performances of Josh Donaldson, Alex Rodriguez, Hanley Ramirez, David Ortiz, Mark Trumbo, Noah Syndergaard, and Anibal Sanchez. They end with some talk about call-ups Buck Farmer and Eduardo Rodriguez, both debuting tonight, Farmer’s 2015 debut and Rodriguez’s MLB debut.

When are you guys going to stop mixing in the Daily show in the podcast feed? A “little while” has turned into 2 months. I don’t want to see their episodes in my feed anymore. Thx.

How long of a leash should Rusney get before I drop him, if someone like Billy Burns is sitting on the waiver wire? He’s getting demolished by Nick Martinez tonight.

RE: Alex Wood/Stras/Pitch shapes

My idea why theses things usually occur is they are tipping pitches. Its the most logical explanation to me. Just two cents. When nothing else seems to change but the results and change that dramatically, just seems like hitters must be waiting for it. Esp on Stras’s change.

You guys are great, as I often say, but even with Strasburg on the DL, I wouldn’t take any of the offers you floated for him (and I don’t own him).
