Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features a wide array of topics - Max Scherzer's brilliant performance with a broken nose and black eye; Manny Machado and the preposterous Umpire's Union (and tweet); CC Sabathia's 250th win and Blake Snell's disappointing season; Show Some Love to Ketel Marte, Lance Lynn, Bryan Reynolds and several more; a reflection on Albert Pujols' return to St. Louis; and some on-the-spot thoughts on Jeff Passan's report about the Rays considering a two-city setup with Tampa Bay and Montreal; and, of course, Twitter questions!

You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. For more, visit barstool.link/barstoolbaseball
