WILKES-BARRE — Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders starting pitcher Josh Rogers joined host DJ Eberle on the phone from Pawtucket for Monday’s episode of Riding The Rails.

The RailRiders southpaw discusses his first season in Triple-A baseball, this past weekend’s trip to Buffalo, the Eastern Conference Finals, which features LeBron James, his favorite athlete, and his friend Terry Rozier, his relationship with RailRiders manager Bobby Mitchell, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre coaching staff and backstop, his excitement to make a trip back home to face the Louisville Bats at the end of the month, his love for horse racing, his apartment with Justus Sheffield, what it’s like to have “Homegrown: Path to Pinstripes” film crew around and much, much more.

Rogers answers questions rapid fire and gives his Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 prediction to close down the show.
