The Shallows EP 013 - First Class Crew

The Shallows EP 013 - First Class Crew Erik Hinrichsen and Carson Picard navigate through The Shallows, starting with a tribute to the late great John Sterling, the Captain's Report detailing injuries to Tarik Skubal, Carlos Correa, and Tyler Glasnow, as well as return of Jhoan Duran and Gerrit Cole's intentional plunking of a minor leaguer. Then the guys discuss the first class crew, or players like Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Andy Pages, Shea Langeliers, and Michael Harris, who have all had great starts to the season as hoped. Finally, they look at mound mirages, which are pitchers who are not to be believed so far this season, such as Justin Wrobleski, Nick Martinez, Michael King, and Clay Holmes. Welcome to The Shallows!

The Shallows EP 012 - The Trading Post

The Shallows EP 012 - The Trading Post Erik Hinrichsen and Carson Picard navigate through The Shallows, starting with the Captain's Report detailing injuries to Garret Crochet, Brandon Woodruff, and Trevor Rogers, as well as the future outlook for former number one overall pick Travis Bazzana, position eligibility updates for Fernando Tatis Jr, Ivan Herrera, and Sal Stewart, and how Cade Cavalli became the second pitcher this season with back-to-back double-digit strikeout games...so does that make him worthy of a pickup? Speaking of worthy, the guys then discuss if the hot starts from players like Moises Ballesteros, Carlos Cortes, Ildemaro Vargas, Liam Hicks, and Landon Roupp are worthy of those starts in a fun twist on "is it legit." Finally they visit the trading post to decide if players such as Bubba Chandler, Nathan Eovaldi, and Oneil, among others off to hot or cold starts, are worth buying or selling.
