Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney discuss the Rays’ 9-0 start, getting contributions from across the roster and how it could be difference-making in the AL East. They also get into Oneil Cruz’s injury, Tim’s take on the Padres-Braves Hall of Fame conversation, the defensive metrics for the Brewers being off the charts, Shohei Ohtani hitting a ball at his ankles for a home run and the athleticism of the Diamondbacks. Then, Sarah Langs talks about Nick Castellanos, Jordan Walker’s nine-game hit streak to start his career and Nelson Cruz’s six RBI game. Plus, interviews with Bob Melvin and Cruz.
