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 second episode is all over the place, in a good way - it covers the first week of sticky stuff enforcement and the guys thoughts on how that's going and the reduction in spin rates and increase in offense across baseball; the specifics of the situations around Gerrit Cole and Scherzer-Girardi; Pete Alonso's announcement he'll defend his Derby crown (and that Vlad Jr. won't be joining him); Dallas goes off on a Pirates tangent for a few minutes; the guys give their thoughts on the All-Star Game uniforms released this week; and, of course, the 7th installment of the Mt. Rushmore franchise, this time focusing on the Kansas City Royals!
