From The Stretch

Cade gives you a brief crash course in Sabermetrics and what they're aimed to do.

Cade & Will are joined by guest Owen Reynolds, member of the NCAA D2 Baseball team for Metro State.

Cade & Will give their predictions on the Rockies depth chart after discussing the Yelich extension, the injuries to Severino, Judge, and Stanton, as well as Tim Tebow.

Cade & Will discuss the Astros scandal and make early playoff predictions.

In Episode 2 of the From The Stretch Podcast, Cade & Will discuss the recent trade made between the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Minnesota Twins.

This episode focused on the proposed playoff format as one topic. Based on the reactions from MLB players, and counter arguments from primarily Trevor Bauer, it doesn't seem the be the greatest idea. Marketing seems to be a much bigger failure by the MLB, rather than the playoff system. Cade & Will also discussed the prospect of the National League adopting a designated hitter. The expansion of MLB rosters to 26 men could tie into this idea perfectly for National League teams. Could this idea revive the careers of some older sluggers? After this, the off season of the Rockies became a more frustration filled conversation. The inactivity of Jeff Bridich is something that all Rockies fans share a common hate for. The (very) minor acquisitions of a few various minor league contracts were a topic of discussion here.
