Welcome back to The Red Seat Podcast, episode #271. On this episode, Jake Devereaux, Keaton DeRocher and Bob Osgood discuss some hot and cold hitters throughout the first half of spring training, review the AL East from top to bottom, give their predictions for the division, and take some listener questions.
Starting with four up/four down, we discussed the positive starts for Triston Casas, Bobby Dalbec, Raimel Tapia, and Christian Arroyo, along with the slow starts for Rob “Mike Trout” Refsnyder, Adam Duvall, Enmanuel Valdez, and Ceddanne Rafaela. For pitchers, hot starts for Chris Sale, Kutter Crawford, Bryan Mata, and Josh Winckowski stuck out, while Nick Pivetta, Wyatt Mills, Brandon Walter, and Tanner Houck have had various issues.
