Summary
The Blue Jays injury bug keeps getting worse... On this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, Whit and Lindsay break down Davis Schneider being sent down to AAA, Nathan Lukes returning to the lineup, and whether “King Louis” could actually enter the Cy Young conversation. They also dive into Toronto’s growing list of pitching injuries, why depth matters so much during a long MLB season, and the incredible story of Adam Macko making history in the majors. Plus, Whit delivers an all-time rant about modern MLB managerial decisions after the Royals’ brutal loss to the Yankees, shares stories from golfing with NBA legend Ray Allen, and somehow ends up debating the Rolling Stones, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Matthews Band, and Savage Garden. Between rookie debut memories, hilarious clubhouse stories, and baseball analysis you won’t hear anywhere else, this episode has a little bit of everything.
