Dylan Cease has hit the IL for the first time in his career. As the news hit during the recording session, Justin and Patrick discuss the ramifications. Vladdy took a pitch to the elbow and is out of the lineup today, but it isn't a serious concern. He should be back in soon. The guys preview the pitching matchups with the Marlins, and play a fun trivia game to open the show.

Summary

After a 3-1 start for the Toronto Blue Jays, Justin and Patrick break down the series win against the Yankees and the win in the Rangers home opener. 

Steven Matz was electric. Julian Merryweather is apparently the closer now, Jordan Romano and Ryan Borucki look scary good, and Rafael Dolis needs to get his sinker over for strikes. 

Ryu was great on Opening day, Stripling got away with mistakes, and T.J. Zeuch earned another turn. 

On offense, Vladdy and Grich Daddy are off to hot starts while Bo and Cavan are starting to heat up. Marcus Semien has been excellent with the bat and the glove and George Springer should be ready for the Home Opener! 

The guys also talk All Star Game, Reds vs Cardinals, Yadi a Hall of Famer, and Lindor’s big extension. 

We’ll be back Sunday night to break down the first “home” series against the Angels.
