Ken's Mailbag | Where did all the starters go?
About this episode
Ken checks in this week from Boston where he, along with the Red Sox and Astros are getting ready for Monday night's Game 3 of the ALCS. A series that may be suffering a serious lack of starting pitching. That's where the podcast begins and then it's on to your questions in the mailbag...
-Why did MLB assign umpires with low ball-strike accuracy to the Dodgers-Giants series?
-Will the Dodgers-Giants series be the catalyst for MLB to change its playoff seeding system?
-Will MLB return to Europe in the near future?
-Why don't the Braves get any respect?
-What would compensation from the Mets for David Stern look like if he was to make the move?
