Who is Russ Dorsey and what is his role in MLB?
Russell Dorsey, National MLB Insider for Yahoo Sports. Oh, he's fine. He doesn't need the attention. Russell will be fine. You're probably right.
We're going to have a conversation about some mediums when he gets in here. I tell you that.
Host of the Relay with Russ Dorsey podcast. Jacob Mizorowski is now must-see TV in Major League Baseball. And I think the thing to me when watching him on a nightly basis, he's gone from novelty of, oh, he throws 103 miles an hour to in a year's time. It's very short. is now one of the best pitchers in the world. Insider and analyst for MLB Network and Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV. I think adding some veteran starting pitching, a guy in their rotation that doesn't have to be a frontline starter, but a guy that's a serviceable veteran pitcher who has experience to help take some of that pressure off of some of the young guys in that rotation so that it can really make a serious push for the Elsons.
Russell Dorsey.
What makes Jacob Mizorowski a must-see player in MLB?
I'm Russell. On 104.3, The Score. The Score.
This is a day is made for us because we're outside. We're at Gallagher Way. We're in the baseball scene here. And Russ rolls up, our MLB insider for Yahoo Sports, MLB Network, Friday Night Baseball, and Apple TV, host of the Relay with Russ Dorsey podcast, where you can get on any of your podcast sources. And he suns out, guns out today. Sleepless Russ has entered the building.
This might be the longest time I've had since being on with you guys where I didn't go sleeveless shirt. Like, this is the first one of the year. I thought you had turned over a new leaf, and you were just like, you know what, I'm going to leave my guns at home. For the most part, yeah. It's just like T-shirts mostly, hoodies sometimes when it was cold, but like... Here you are devolving. I'm melting today and this week. So it felt... appropriate to bring out the sleeveless.
If not now, then when?
Facts. I don't know that any of it helps. When it's this hot... I mean, I know if you put on long sleeves and all that... And it's hot and muggy. Yeah, there's just not a lot you can do about it.
But Mark, like we talked about in the open, it helps get him a little more...
How can veteran pitchers influence a young rotation?
attention yeah yeah hey that that's that's i'm just glad he's wearing the shirt wearing clothes you're right gross that's all i ask do you have to work today are you going to the game i'm not no i'm here just for you guys oh that's nice here just for you guys you you have been working on some projects i know you you covered baseball yesterday yeah what can you tell us about just what you're working on what are some natural russ dorsey baseball questions that you have right now
In general? Yeah. Or about the Chicago Cubs?
I mean, either way, just where you're led. This is like a story brainstorming session with you in a way. We've done a lot of Cubs today. We talked about the Sox as well. But when you're out here, what are you working on that you can tell us about?
So one that I've been working on recently coming out next week is I'm writing about Jacob Mizorowski. and kind of the process and how the Milwaukee Brewers found him. He was kind of a guy that wasn't on too many people's radar and had this crazy growth spurt, turns into this guy that throws over 100 miles an hour and all of a sudden bursts onto the scene. So really wanted to figure out the process of how the Brewers scouting department, amateur scouting department, went about finding him. As a guy who didn't pitch his senior year in high school because of COVID, Had an injury his freshman year at his JUCO Crowder College in Missouri. So, yeah, that's one that I'm working on. Also, I'm really interested about this year's trade deadline for a couple of different reasons.
We've talked ad nauseum about how bad the American League is. this year and the lack of space between teams. But I think also when you look at the National League this year, the teams are better, but the teams are also very close together in that regard, too. Talking to people around baseball, this could very well be one of those years where the deadline is a dud, where because there are so many teams that are in it, because there are so many teams that can honestly say, well, we're only four and a half games back.
