In the third episode of "Big Time Baseball," Josh Lewin and Jon Heyman discuss whether or not to buy into teams' hot or slow starts, including the Mets' up-and-down pitching, along with poor outings from the Phillies' Aaron Nola and Red Sox's Chris Sale. They also dive into White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson being suspended for his altercation with the Royals before digging into the NL Central, including Christian Yelich's big numbers and the Pirates' sitting in first. Later on, they chat with Brewers manager Craig Counsell about Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and the team's pitching before bringing on WEEI host Lou Merloni to dissect the Red Sox. Josh and Jon wrap it up by breaking down the biggest rumors around baseball, including whether or not Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Kuechel will sign anytime soon.
