EP 169 - SHI DAVIDI on the Toronto Blue Jays and Major League Baseball's Pitching Problem.

The Bob McCown Podcast

Sportsnet's SHI DAVIDI hops on the podcast today to discuss the Blue Jays and some of Major League Baseball's glaring issues surrounding their starting Pitchers.

With an increase in injured pitchers, not only on the Blue Jays, but across MLB the gentleman wonder if the way Pitchers - especially the starters - are being trained is the issue.

With pitchers throwing less balls and player less inners than ever before, why do they keep getting hurt? is the commitment to velocity ruining the sport?

The three also discuss the overuse of analytics and how the "Win every matchup" mentality using statistics can actually have a negative effect on a teams future.

To end the show the three shift their talk to the Blue Jays, their future and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s potential to be a star.

They also question Nate Pearson's future with the club - is it too early to say he's a bust?
