Description
MLB.com's Keegan Matheson joins Blake Murphy to discuss the implementation of a pitch clock in the Majors next year, which pitchers would be affected the most, if we'll see an increase in stolen bases, when can we see Gabriel Moreno with the main squad before the end of the season, and how much depth the Jays have in potential starters coming from the minors (5:00). The Athletic's Levi Weaver, jumps on to chat about the Texas Rangers struggling to take the next leap this season, Marcus Semien's impact in the clubhouse, why they're bringing up their #2 prospect, Josh Jung, to the main roster, and who the Jays will be facing on the mound with Dane Dunning (34:00). Then, FanGraphs' Ben Clemens weighs in on the upcoming rule changes, how left handed batters could benefit from the banning of the shift, if the increase in the size of bases will have a big impact, whether there's a negative side of speeding up pitchers, and the chance for Ross Stripling to increase his changeup usage (01:00:00).
