The 2024 MLB season is now three weeks old, and it’s time to give some early season evaluations. In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman go through all thirty Major League Baseball teams and discuss whether they are feeling better, worse, or the same about each club compared to how they were feeling before the season started.
Some teams have had their ups and downs so far. The Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees have lost their aces to injury, but the guys are only feeling better about one of those teams. They also talk about why they are feeling better about teams like the Los Angeles Angels (thank you Mike Trout) and the Milwaukee Brewers (thank you Jackson Chourio). However, they discuss why they are now down on the Los Angeles Dodgers and somehow even more down on the Chicago White Sox.
Later in the episode, Jake and Jordan discuss the long-awaited debut of the 2nd overall pick of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft, Jack Leiter, and what Texas Rangers fans might be able to expect from the 23-year-old.
The guys cover discussions on all six divisions – AL East, AL Central, AL West, NL East, NL Central, and NL West – in this episode.
