84 | John Smoltz responds to fans who say he hates baseball

Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David, Justin and James are joined by HOF pitcher & FOX Sports analyst John Smoltz, who touches on the evolution of the strike zone, the starter/closer dynamic, Shohei Ohtani and whether he actually hates the current game of baseball. The crew dives into the latest and best pitch by Ohtani, who is must-watch two weeks into the season and why the Rays and Dbacks are playing well. Later, how long is the leash on Clarke Schmidt in the Yankees rotation, and what are the Yankees saying by whom they’re playing in the outfield?
