EP 26 - You can't spell Cactus League without ACL

  • Summary

  • J.P. Hoornstra discusses the season-ending ACL injury to Gavin Lux (1:20), takes a gander at the Dodgers' thin depth chart at shortstop (2:10), then looks at the thin group of remaining shortstops (2:50). Shawn Green joins to discuss the typical hitter's routine at the beginning of spring training (10:00), why exhibition games offer a weird dynamic between pitchers and hitters (13:00), why some great spring training hitters can never translate their success to the regular season (14:30), the love being showered on the Dodgers by the prospect-list makers (16:25), and the odds-on favorites to meet in the World Series (19:20).
