He's the question that has baffled Padre's fans minds for the last two years: MacKenzie Gore. On today's episode, Javier discusses the solid spring training performance of Padres top pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore and whether or not he should make it into the starting rotation. He discusses the possibility of a 6-man rotation, other contenders (Chris Paddack, Nick Martinez, Ryan Weathers), the hot spring by Jorge Alfaro, not overreacting to Mike Clevinger getting blown up, and concludes with a little bit of talk on Trent Grisham batting leadoff. Happy Hump Day!!!
