What makes a stud pitcher, Overrated stats, #AskHunter & Sudden Death HR Dual / The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence
What makes a stud pitcher, Overrated stats, #AskHunter & Sudden Death HR Dual / The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence and Grant Brisbee are back with some freshly brewed baseball talk. They are going to talk about what makes a stud pitcher, overrated stats in baseball, sudden death home run duals in the minors and some more #AskHunter questions. There are some surprising teams this year early part of the season and their starting pitching is the reason why. The guys discuss what goes into star stud pitchers in baseball. Hunter goes into what is harder to do- pitching or hitting. They talk about what stats they think are overrated in baseball and what ones are more important in their minds. Was Madison Bumgarner's 7 inning no-hitter a legit no-no? They talk about the smoking hot Oakland A's. And they take some #AskHunter questions and talk about a crazy new minor league rule that was just made for extra inning games - - Follow Hunter on Twitter: @hunterpence - - Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBrisbee - - Subscribe to The Athletic for just $3.99 per month at theathletic.com/baseballshow - Learn more about your ad choices.
