Description

Eno and DVR discuss early fallers among hitters and pitchers, the Dodgers' replacement options for Dustin May, the new look Ryan McMahon, and the viability of banking more saves in the first half of the season with a reliever-heavy lineup before making up ground in the second half with more starting pitchers.
