Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David Cone reacts to Zack Britton's Yankees criticism

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 23:35:10 +0000

David, Justin and James discuss what’s next for the Phillies pitching staff now that Aaron Nola is returning, and whether they need more rotation help. What could the Braves be up to with their recent activity? The group also touches on the aggressive nature of the front offices in Atlanta and Philadelphia. Plus, why Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson don’t cut it for the Cardinals, a realistic expectation for a Yamamoto contract, and Brandon Woodruff’s options. In the Yankees chat, the gang discussed Zack Britton’s recent comments and whether a reunion makes sense with either Sonny Gray or Jordan Montgomery.

114 | David Cone reacts to Juan Soto Yankees trade rumors

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 18:15:38 +0000

David, Justin and James examine the first two games of the World Series and wonder if we’ll see another seven inning performance from any pitcher the rest of the series like we did from Merrill Kelly. What should we realistically expect from Max Scherzer? How can Texas tame Arizona’s running game?

David, Justin and James wonder out loud what the Astros and Dbacks can do to get back in their respective series. Arizona will have to be the more creative team with their pitching moving forward. Who has been the best starting pitcher in October? Would you invest more in Jordan Montgomery or Aaron Nola in free agency? What’s preventing other teams from following the Rangers quick rebuilding model? The hosts also touch on Kim Ng’s future and why Craig Counsell may be the most important person in the sport this offseason. In our Yankees chat, the hosts grade producer Dan’s offseason blueprint.

110 | David Cone gives his Yankees offseason plan

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 19:48:37 +0000

David, Justin and James try and catch their breath after an amazing Game 2 between the Braves and Phillies. Despite one heart-breaking defeat, Coney remains bullish on the Phils. While none of the hosts feel the layoff for teams with byes is “a thing” just yet, is the layoff *too* long? Do fans need to recalibrate their minds for what the postseason has actually become? The hosts assess the Braves pitching staff, whether we ended up asking too much of the Dodgers rotation, why the Twins hold the pitching edge over Houston and which homegrown core they’re rolling with between the Orioles and Rangers. Touching on the Blue Jays and the Berrios/Kikuchi pitching move, Justin wonders why front offices still try to maintain the illusion that they don’t make game decisions. If they had a seat at the table at the Yankees end-of-season meetings, what is each host pounding the table for?

102 | David Cone on how to fix Luis Severino, the Braves lineup, MLB Wild Card races

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 18:31:06 +0000

David, Justin and James examine why several pitchers are thriving early with their new teams following the trade deadline. The trio believes the Mariners can continue to win, and they look at other teams in the wild card hunt who could go on an extended run. Coney assesses where Luis Severino is for the Yankees, and why Michael King transitioning into a starter makes sense.

101 | David Cone on the Dodgers rotation, Shane McClanahan's injury, Yankees' fate

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Wed, 9 Aug 2023 21:45:45 +0000

With the expanded playoff format, David, Justin and James wonder whether the trade deadline needs to be extended by two weeks. The hosts size up the Rays chances without Shane McClanahan, the Dodgers chances with an improving Julio Urias, and which division race intrigues them more: the AL West or NL Central? We’ve reached the point where we wonder whether the Yankees offense can pick up New York’s starting rotation. Former catcher Rick Cerone joins the show!

After the trade deadline, all the focus is on the AL West race in Texas. David believes Max Scherzer will make the biggest impact for his new team, the Rangers. James and Justin believes it will be Justin Verlander for the Astros. The hosts recap the historic day for the Astros, which ended in Framber Valdez’s no-hitter, and the polar opposite historic day for the Mets. Did the Dodgers, Rays and Orioles do enough?

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 20:07:24 +0000

David, Justin and James tackle some big topics with a week before the trade deadline. Have we seen the Rays at their low point, and what deals can they swing to put them over the top? The hosts do their weekly check-in on the Shohei Ohtani situation in Anaheim, and stress the fact that if the Angels decide to hold on to Ohtani, they need to be big buyers at the deadline. What did front offices learn from the Josh Hader trade last summer? Also, how are the best teams in baseball approaching the deadline? Coney believes the Yankees addition of Andy Pettitte to their staff is another example of teams trying to copy the Braves blend of real experience and new information.

David, Justin and James go all in on Shohei Ohtani! Will he break Aaron Judge’s AL home run record? How do the Angels separate business from baseball with Ohtani’s impending free agency and the trade deadline two weeks away? Do east coast teams need to trade for Ohtani to entice him to sign during free agency? Also, which clubs make sense for pitchers on teams already waiving the white flag? In the Yankees discussion, the crew wonders how perilous the Yankees season is at the moment, and whether it should force them to loosen up their “bullpen rules.”

David, Justin and James are scratching their heads wondering why we are hearing from so many MLB owners at the start of spring training, which should only produce happy thoughts. David pays tribute to the late Tim McCarver, who was on the call for David’s perfect game in 1999. The crew each gives one starter and one reliever who they believe has the most to prove in 2023. The hosts respond to why MLB has decided to create its “economic reform committee.” They discuss how Mets owner Steve Cohen is beginning to ingratiate himself into baseball operations, and later, touch on the arbitration process and approach that seemingly went over the line as it relates to Brewers star Corbin Burnes. Finally, is Aaron Judge actually part of the Yankees left field solution? Could a new pitch for Clarke Schmidt put him in position for a starting rotation spot?

The gang then reacts to the extensions given to Yu Darvish and Christian Javier, and whether new Astros GM Dana Brown will copy the model he worked with in Atlanta by signing Houston’s young, core-players to team friendly extensions. The hosts touch on the crackdown of position players pitching, the adversity in front of the Rays and whether we need to temper expectations with the Yankees starting rotation in the wake of Nestor Cortes’ injury.

David, Justin and James take a look at several promising pitchers who have the potential to elevate themselves and pitch like an ace in 2023. The trio discusses the current list of aces that MLB Network recently ranked on its “Top 10 Right Now” list and feel several names are misplaced, including Sandy Alcantara, Jacob deGrom, and possibly, Gerrit Cole. David believes negative comments had to be made by the Braves in their recent arbitration hearing with Max Fried. Coney then answers what Carlos Beltran can provide pitchers in his new role with the Mets.

The hosts dive into some of the recent comments made by the ownerships families from the Reds and Orioles, and how the three model franchises (Dodgers, Astros and Braves) have largely been idle when it comes to big free agent spending.

Justin asks which NL starting pitcher will receive an extension first: Max Fried, Julio Urías or Logan Webb? The crew praises the Phillies acquisition of Gregory Soto and pick their top National League bullpens with a month to go before spring training.

David, Justin and James usher in 2023 by taking a look at what may happen with Trevor Bauer’s immediate future as a MLB pitcher. David and James believe the poison of the entire situation will be too much for other teams to deal with if the Dodgers release Bauer. Justin believes Bauer will receive another chance somewhere because history has shown that you will get another opportunity if you have elite talent. The crew also discusses whether the Yankees should be monitoring the holdup between the Mets and Carlos Correa, just as the Mets did with Correa and the Giants. They go through which contender still has the most to do when it comes to addressing pitching, and Justin presents an elite name that these teams should go after via trade. David reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Yankees purchase by George Steinbrenner. Also, who could follow Judge and Ohtani as AP Male Athlete of the Year?

The crew goes over his increased K-rate the last couple of seasons, the range of fastball velocity he possesses, and David believes Rodón shouldn’t tweak anything that has brought him to this point until he has to. Coney believes the versatility of the Yankees rotation is what could make it great. The crew also drew comparisons to Tino Martinez when it comes to Rodón’s arrival in the Bronx.

The crew feels this wraps up a masterful year of negotiating tactics by Judge and his advisors. They also give credit to the Yankees for bringing Judge back, but feel this is a moment where the organization has a chance to go even further and add another blue-chip talent like Carlos Rodon. The hosts also praise the Padres for, despite not coming away with Judge or Trea Turner, operating like a financial power within the game when they are in the bottom third in MLB in market size.

The crew discusses the White Sox signing of Mike Clevinger, and how that could end up being a steal for Chicago. As far as the starting pitchers at the top of the free agent class go, the hosts wonder whether Carlos Rodon signs before Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom. The crew is split over whether they’d rather have Verlander or deGrom if money wasn’t an issue. They also discuss how the shortstop market is tied directly to Aaron Judge. More chatter on the HOF vote coming up this weekend, Astros playoff shares, Bo Jackson and James’ debut article in Baseball Prospectus!

63 | David Cone touches on the Yankees and Aaron Judge’s decision; Why the Astros parted with their GM

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 05:58:16 +0000

David provides insight from a discussion he had with Houston Astros owner Jim Crane in regards to the team’s decision to move away from GM James Click. Both Coney and Justin wonder how much will it take for Justin Verlander to come pitch for your team in 2023. David believes the Yankees could be in play again. Justin believes the Mets would be better served with Verlander on a short-term deal over re-signing Jacob deGrom. Producer (and noted Aaron Judge stan) Dan Rourke joins the discussion as Aaron Judge’s free agency takes center stage. As the Giants are rumored to be in pursuit of the slugger, what would David tell Judge about signing with his hometown team? How could the Yankees address other areas with money in the event Judge signs elsewhere? What about if he stays? David and Justin also discuss the important Rule 5 and non-tender deadlines that team’s are making this week that could open the floodgates to off-season trades and signings.

David Cone reacts to Yankees press conference drama

David, Justin and James wrap up the postseason by dissecting the big pitching decision by the Phillies in Game 6. James and Justin don’t think the Astros should be referred to as a dynasty just yet. Ok, onto the off-season! How will the upcoming rule changes affect free agency? The crew also touches on the Yankee press conference with Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman from last week. They think Edwin Diaz’s new contract must signify the start of a big off-season for the Mets. Also, an important look at rule changes that should be coming after 2023.

60 | David Cone reacts to reported Yankees clubhouse drama and World Series preview

David, Justin and James begin by commenting on the SNY report that stated the Yankees clubhouse and organization felt crushed by the negativity from the fan base during the ALCS. Their message: don’t give them something to boo over. On to the World Series! Is there any additional strategy to having the Phillies start Aaron Nola in Game 1? How much do Nola and Justin Verlander have to prove in the opening game? We’ll see an all-time matchup in Verlander vs. Bryce Harper; who needs to set the tone for the series more? Will the Astros pitching staff go after Harper? Do the Astros have the bullpen personnel to get Philly’s big lefty bats out? Are two starters and four relievers enough for the Phils in this series? Length from Nola and Zack Wheeler will be paramount, win or lose. Plus, what an 11-0 postseason would mean for the Astros.

59 | David Cone reacts to Yankees getting swept by Astros; Phillies top Padres to advance to World Series

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:38:14 +0000

David, Justin and James recap where the Yankees fell short in the ALCS, and how natural it feels to second-guess every single move in the wake of the team losing. The crew believes that while pitching decisions could have been questioned, the offense was the culprit. Justin wonders how the Astros make the postseason not look like a crapshoot. They all agree something was off with how the Yankees operated the shortstop position this year, which didn’t do Isiah Kiner-Falefa any favors. The off-season will be a domino effect with Aaron Judge’s free agency. In the NLCS, the crew discusses the Padres decision to leave Josh Hader in the bullpen and not face Bryce Harper in the eighth inning of Game 5. They also praise Dave Dombrowski and explain why all other organizations can take something away from his approach.

Head to https://rapsodo.com/JOMBOY to receive a special discount up to $1,000 off Rapsodo’s PITCHING 2.0 unit

David, Justin and James look back to the first two ALCS games in Houston and look ahead to Game 3 in New York on Saturday. The crew thinks too little credit was being given to the top two Astros pitchers as to why the Yankees offense struggled, but now, the Yankees have their top two pitchers going in Games 3 and 4. David didn’t have a big issue with the way the Yankees handled their pitching staff in Game 1, and says the pitching approach to Jeremy Peña is the biggest key moving forward. The crew discusses what allows Justin Verlander, at age 39, to reach cruise control. They focus on the NLCS as the series shifts to Philly, and how exciting it is to have stars excelling. David believes the Padres have figured out how to deploy Josh Hader, and it’s making a huge difference at the right time.

David, Justin and James recap the Yankees ALDS victory over the Guardians, how pitching and home runs helped guide them to the ALCS and the performances from Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortes. The crew feels Clay Holmes answered the most questions in the ALDS. They preview the ALCS between New York and Houston, examine how to pitch to Yordan Alvarez and Aaron Judge, and who could be added to the Yankees roster. The crew reflects on why the Dodgers and Braves fell short, highlighted how superstars have filled up the NLCS between the Padres and Phillies and identify who on the Philly pitching staff could step up in support of Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola. David feels Manny Machado is the hitter that pitchers need to be most careful of.

sales@jomboymedia.com (Jomboy Media) — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 05:40:03 +0000

Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie joins the show to discuss his breakout season, what it took for Cleveland to seize the AL Central, how he uses pitching technology during games and why he and his teammates are embracing the doubters as they gear up for the playoffs. David, Justin and James touch on Aaron Judge closing out one of the best offensive seasons we’ve ever seen, regardless of era. The crew examines what Spencer Strider’s absence means for the Braves, who could get big outs in the Dodgers bullpen during October, Luis Castillo’s new contract and reactive pitching as it relates to Gerrit Cole. Plus, Bob Gibson’s stellar start in the ‘68 Fall Classic, Tyler Glasnow’s season debut, Luis Severino’s reemergence and Kyle Bradish.

Speaking of August 2, the crew explains how the Nationals hold all the chips in a potential Juan Soto trade before next week.

David is back! Coney has returned following his hip surgery and he and the crew highlight all the great technology that was seen at the All Star Game, and what it could mean for the future fan-viewing experience. David, Justin and James dive deeper into pitchers being mic’d up during the game, and how players are programmed coming out of the break. They also dissect some of Rob Manfred’s recent comments on baseball composition & minor league pay. Then, the crew discusses whether a Juan Soto trade will happen before the deadline, how the Yankees and other teams could approach potential deals for Soto and Luis Castillo, and whether the Mets need more pitching given the latest setback for Jacob deGrom. Each host gave their biggest pitching storyline to watch for during the 2nd half. Plus, the anniversary of David’s perfect game, and a look at how relief dominance was on display at the Midsummer Classic.
