Episode notes
First Pitch Moments Honoring Fans And Terrence Gore
- The Royals and Diamondbacks used ceremonial first pitches to honor Terrence Gore and celebrate Bowdoin Baumkircher meeting Corbin Carroll.
- Chris Rose described Zane Gore throwing to Alex Gordon and Bowdoin, who uses prosthetics, meeting Carroll at the D-backs home opener.
Corbin Carroll Looks Fully Back
- Corbin Carroll delivered early in the Diamondbacks home opener, including a second-inning homer off Justin Verlander that turned a tight game into a slugfest.
- Chris Rose and Trevor Plouffe noted Carroll's triple and energetic on-field reaction as signs he's returning to form after health struggles.
Verlander's Stuff Is Solid But Durability Is The Question
- Justin Verlander's return to Detroit showed he still sits 93 mph and has his arsenal, but the D-backs punished him and the strikeout and swing-and-miss numbers were worrying.
- Plouffe emphasized Verlander's second-half 2025 form justifies the Tigers' signing while cautioning about age and innings.
