David, Justin and James explain what jumps out to them from MLB’s opening week, what matters after a small sample size and what big trends may subside as the season progresses. The crew wonders if the Rays could be an elite pitching force even without Tyler Glasnow. They touch on certain pitching injuries to start the season, Kodai Senga’s debut, the Phillies rough start and David gives a refresher on the sweeper. The hosts and Dan Rourke discuss some Yankees topics, including Aaron Hicks’ comments to The Athletic and what intrigues them about the Bombers so far.
