2 Tools Baseball Podcast

EP 135: This episode, Alex selects six topics to breakdown for a six-pack, starting with the Dodgers and their lack of dominance compared to last season. Then, he covers Anthony Volpe's shortcomings and how they impact the Yankees' aspirations, before highlighting the bright spots in the Yankees offense that are keeping the team going. Alex discusses Luis Arraez's offensive nosedive which calls into question his hitting approach and the manager's decision to feature him prominently. This contrasts with how Roman Anthony has been a driving positive force at the top of the lineup for the Red Sox, as their season has U-turned since trading away Rafael Devers. Alex closes the episode with a discussion on how the savvy Brewers have developed their team into World Series contention, while the Angels have fallen short in player development for another consecutive season.
