    Toronto Blue Jays - Brent Cardy visits BaseballBiz On Deck - First games of 2023

    Toronto Blue Jays  -  Brent Cardy visits BaseballBiz On Deck - First games of 2023

     Brent Cardy, Analyst of all things Toronto Blue Jays visits BaseballBiz On Deck and gives us a peek into the 2023 season for Toronto & the AL East

    • What does AL East look like – 3 team race – Orioles & Red Sox not in that mix 
    • Toronto Blue Jays Pitching
      •  Alek Manoah, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Kevin Gausman, 
      • Kikuchi – strong mix with fastball, cutter & slider 
      • Ryu –what will pitching rotation look like if and when he returns. 
      • Chris Bassitt ditches PitchCom & calls his own unique 8 pitches 
      • Kevin Gausman generating a lot of hit and miss 
      • Alek Manoah maybe fighting his mechanics. Not the most beloved pitcher across the AL East 
    • Kansas City Royals pitcher, Ryan Yarbrough talked about
            "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable" 
    • Blue Jays lineup – George Springer, Bo Bichette, Vlad Jr, Alejandro Kirk, Chapman, Kevin Kiermaier, Whit Merrifield 
    • Kevin Kiermaier good solid player and fans love him. 
    • Dalton Varsho, Gold Glove finalist is a nice addition to the Jays – Toronto Fans appreciate a player who don’t say so much & play hard. 
    • Bo Bichette – Tampa Bay Native – a solid defender, a strong 2 strike hitter & a 3 year & $33 million contract. 
    • Long Road Trip - Jays season began with 10 games on the road before returning to Rogers Centre where renovations are being made to the facility 
    • Do shorter games mean less time to eat & imbibe alcoholic beverages. 
    • A drunk Solution: Extend the number of innings when a fan can drink. More drinks within a shorter period of time = more drunks per game? Bad math. 
    • Yankees legend & former Marlins Manager, Don Mattingly is the new Bench Coach for the Jays 
    • Balanced Schedule – what happened with Mets & Marlins fiasco 
    • Orioles – Rutschman, Urias, Bautista, Mateo, Mountcastle, Mullins & Hayes – will 2023 or 2024 be the year that Baltimore steps up 
    • Boston Red Sox in the basement & suffering, Devers & Verdugo looking good. Adam Duvall amongst the injured 
    • What do the Red Sox, Taylor Swift & The Tampa Bay Rays have in common? 
    • Will the Jays build up their bullpen? Everything else looks great 
    • Will the pitch clock impact pitcher injuries

    147 - Looking Back: The Top Ten Astro Prospects of 2013

    147 - Looking Back: The Top Ten Astro Prospects of 2013

    In this special Easter weekend episode, recorded March 21, we look back at the Houston Astros' pre-season top ten prospects, according to John Sickels Minor League Ball blog. There are some familiar names (Carlos Correa, Lance McCullers, Jr.) and some unfamiliar (Jarred Cosart, Rio Ruiz) along with some forgotten (Domingo Santana) and one Astro fans wish they could forget. On the whole, a solid crop of prospects with some big stars mixed in with hard-luck stories and players that just never made the final jump to become a big league regular.

    This is the first in a series for Hooks & Runs in 2023, focusing on Astro drafts and prospects.
