Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9 podcast, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features an interview with current Twins masher Nelson Cruz, who talks with Jared about all sorts of things - his expectations for his debut season with the Twins, his run with the Mariners, his hitting experiences against Dallas Braden and much more. The crew gives plenty of love to two of the best team stories from April so far in the Padres and Rays; breaks down the controversial Ozzie Albies contract extension; discusses the injuries to Gary Sánchez and other Yankees, the demotion of Sean Newcomb and the impending arrival of Vlad Guerrero Jr. And, of course, Dallas and Jared also answer Twitter questions from the #groundscrew!
