Starkville | First half awards and recapping the MLB Draft and Futures Game
About this episode
An All-Star edition of Starkville, recorded in the parking lot of Denver International Airport. What could possibly go wrong? Jayson and Doug hand out first-half awards and debate whether pitchers not named Ohtani should be considered for MVP. Then Baseball America's JJ Cooper joins the show to breakdown the MLB Draft and Futures Game. How are teams evaluating amateur talent knowing that sticky stuff may be in use? Finally, in this week's Strange But True, the story behind Daniel Camarena's unlikely grand slam off Max Scherzer. All of that, plus All-Star Trivia.
