Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9 podcast, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features an electric interview with our own Pat McAfee, who talks about his cross-over independent league baseball event and his growing knowledge of the game. Dallas and Jared also get into the biggest stories of the week, including the Astros red-hot play, the rise of Juan Soto, the Nationals acquisition of Kelvin Herrera and Hunter Strickland's self-inflicted injury. The crew also plays “buy or sell” on 8 possible realities or storylines from around baseball, including but not limited to: Mike Trout winning the AL MVP; the Braves being the best team in the NL East; and the Mets trading at least one of Jacob deGrom or Noah Syndergaard - and many more. The guys also answer questions from the #groundscrew!
