Bullpen Boosts, Springer's Resurgence & A New Statcast Leaderboard
Eno, Trevor, and DVR discuss another injury for the Astros with Luis Garcia's return to the injured list, a bullpen role down the stretch for Chase Burns in Cincinnati and the possibility of a similar approach with Roki Sasaki from the Dodgers. Plus, they consider how they might pitch to George Springer, who continues to have a resurgence in his age-35 campaign, and they look at the Framing Leaderboard against hitters.
