                  THE BASEBALL RABBI PODCAST

 

Welcome to The Baseball Rabbi Podcast - where Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn talk sabermetrics and baseball history, with a dose of fandom, fWAR, and Fenway.

Mar 24, 2020

In our final Spring Training (remember that?) preview episode, we look at the American League East, and its injury-plagued-but-it-shouldn't-matter Yankees, and the possible challenge they'll face from the we-won't underestimate-them-again Rays. We also look at the not rebuilding Red Sox, a Toronto team that could make some noise if a few things break the right way, and the pennant chances of the Baltimore Orioles. (See the end of this paragraph for our opinion about how many games they'll win this season.) We also do a deep dive into the Hall of Fame case of the Crime Dog, Fred McGriff, and compare him to Eddie Murray and... wait for it... Barry Bonds.

(Answer: Zero.)
