BREAKING: Merrill Kelly To MISS Opening Day Start For D-backs With Back Injury

from PHNX Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast · host Derek Montilla, Damon Fairall

Are the Arizona Diamondbacks about to start the season shorthanded? We have updates on the injuries to Merrill Kelly and Corbin Carroll, and we take a look at what the D-backs Opening Day lineup could look like without two of their biggest stars. We also have more on fans not being happy with the lack of Spring Training games available to watch online. Is MLB missing a major opportunity for revenue or is the juice simply not worth the squeeze? Plus, the ABS system is a hit with fans but not with players who crouch in their batting stance. We discuss why baseball’s measurement system might be fundamentally flawed. 0:00 Sad SkeeYee to you all...  1:50 REPORT: Merrill Kelly NOT ready for Opening Day  5:15 Corbin Caroll & other D-backs injuries  18:35 More Merill Kelly updates  20:30 Spring Training streaming issues  33:30 ABS Challenge system  47:35 Are you a Baseball Savant?  Limited-time offer!
