Starkville | Cubs Catcher Carson Kelly joins us this week in Starkville. He talks about how special it would be to be named an All-Star, why he decided to sign with the Cubs, the changes in the catching position, growing up as a Cubs fan, how special he thinks his team can be this season and much more.Strange But True: The Orioles have a 0 sandwich in a game last week where they hit 3 homers in a row and still lost.Trivia: Question from Paul McCord- Gone are the days of pitchers with double-digit complete games any given year, but the era's career leaders are still among the best of their era. The active leader is Justin Verlander with 26 complete games. Only 4 others who debuted in the 2000s have more. Who are they?Follow Jayson on Twitter: @jaysonstFollow Doug on Twitter: @DougGlanvilleHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleProducer: Brian Smith Hosted on Acast.
