Pearson's got problems, Kay keeps struggling & Bichette, Semien slamming homers w/ Jonah Birenbaum

theathletic.com/spinrate If issuing walks and conceding home runs
defined a good pitcher, Nate Pearson would be Hall of Fame-bound;
however, this is not the case and, therefore, Pearson is pretty
bad. So, Drew and change-up specialist Jonah Birenbaum confabulate
about Pearson's...less than memorable outings this year. What going
on with the 24-year-old hurler's stuff? Why aren't his commendable
Minor League outings translating to the pros? Is it psychological?
Could he be DFA'd again? On the topic of underwhelming pitching
performances, Anthony Kay continues to struggle. Drew and Jonah
channel their Brandon Flowers and go all 'Mr. Brightside' on us,
praising both Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette's offensive production.
Lastly, a look ahead to Toronto's series in Atlanta. Follow Drew on
