Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features an interview with Texas' Hunter Pence, in the midst of a (surprising) All-Star game bid in his first year with the Rangers. Dallas and Jared also run through the big stories of the week, including the ongoing craziness in Queens with the Mets, the suspension of Frankie Montas, the injuries to closers Jordan Hicks and Blake Treinen, and the demotion of Mike Foltynewicz. The crew also dives into the recent hot/cold play of a variety of teams, including the Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Brewers and Indians.
