Speaker 2: see you, Tom Tons the Garner and God Welcome and
Speaker 2: Lambing hangout. Opening day is in the books, and Peter,
Speaker 2: I have an issue, but I have my solution to
Speaker 2: the pirates went to extra innings they played twelve. The
Speaker 2: Cubs went to extra innings, they lost. The White Sox
Speaker 2: lost one nothing. So all three teams that I really
Speaker 2: like identify with a very stressful days. So I said
Speaker 2: hello to my old friend Evan Williams. What do you
Speaker 2: got going on right now? I'm drinking water. I don't
Speaker 2: need any liquid courage.
Speaker 1: My Yankees and one Soto were giving me so much
Speaker 1: hype right now.
Speaker 2: What a game? What a game? I love you, One Sodo,
Speaker 2: All right, I'll relax, I'll relax.
Speaker 1: But I mean I I was smiling as I mean,
Speaker 1: I wasn't smiling at the beginning. But as the game
Speaker 1: went along and won, Zota did One Soda things. I
Speaker 1: just thank the good Lord. Wad Soda is a Yankee.

Speaker 1: rest of the games and just talk Yankees for like
Speaker 1: forty five minutes?
Speaker 2: Or no, No, we cannot. I want to talk about
Speaker 2: all thirteen games. I want to talk about the nine
Speaker 2: games that happened this afternoon. I want to talk about
Speaker 2: all thirteen games that happen on Thursday, and then, like
Speaker 2: we did draft the two games that were postponed until Friday,
Speaker 2: that was Mets Brewers and Braves Phillies. But we'll kind
Speaker 2: of preview those games at the tail end. I do
Speaker 2: want to start with the first game that was kind
Speaker 2: of a loan in the window. It was the first
Speaker 2: domestic game at three o'clock. Also, really bad scheduling by
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball having the first game of the year
Speaker 2: not start until three o'clock. It was my one o'clock
Speaker 2: first pitch.
Speaker 1: Not their fault. Brewers versus Mets got postponed. That was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the one o'clock Was it at one o'clock? Okay,
Speaker 1: can't blame I can't blame them, but I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there at one pm. I even tweeted
Speaker 1: it out that I'm just pacing through my apartment waiting
Speaker 1: for action. I need my opening day one pm game.
Speaker 1: And the fact that it got rained out, I felt
Speaker 1: like it was pursting the season a little bit. But
Speaker 1: thankfully we had a great opening day. It was a
Speaker 1: great opening day. What I will also say, you know
Speaker 1: I'm a big college basketball guy.
Speaker 2: Yes you are. I got a text that Clemson was
Speaker 2: beating Arizona at halftime, and my literal response was, oh shit,
Speaker 2: I forgot college basketball was on. I forgot about the
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen because I was so enveloped in Opening Day.
Speaker 2: And is that more of a testament to Opening Day
Speaker 2: or is that more of an indictment on college basketball
Speaker 2: this year. I think it's a nice hybrid of both.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good in Medley. Having said that,
Speaker 2: I'm going to give all the credit to Opening Day.
Speaker 2: This delivered, And I want to start with Angels Orioles
Speaker 2: in Baltimore because the vibe at Camden Yards was immaculate.
Speaker 2: And you've got Mike Trout taking Corbyn Burns deep in
Speaker 2: the first inning, and then Corbyn Burns retires sixteen in
Speaker 2: a row and punches out eleven in six innings of
Speaker 2: one hit ball, Corbyn Burns, I'll tee you up in
Speaker 2: a moment, but before we get to that, this O's offense.
Speaker 2: Baltimore won this game eleven to three. I texted our
Speaker 2: big Just Baseball group text. I was like, yes, Like
Speaker 2: this lineup is the deepest in baseball because of the personnel,
Speaker 2: but it's also exhausting, Like they are so far and
Speaker 2: away gonna lead the league in pitches per plate appearance
Speaker 2: one through nine. This Orioles team is never gonna lay down.
Speaker 2: I feel like we won't see an uncompetitive at bat
Speaker 2: for one sixty two.
Speaker 1: And Adley Rutschman just continues his opening day dominance. I
Speaker 1: know he went two for two in his first two hits,
Speaker 1: and that means he was seven for seven in his
Speaker 1: last few opening days.
Speaker 2: He's only two because he came up mid season in
Speaker 2: twenty one or in twenty two, So opening day twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three and opening Day twenty four his career on
Speaker 2: opening day, he's what he's He started seven for seven.
Speaker 1: But I like how you mentioned pitches. Her played appearance
Speaker 1: that this team is going to see a lot of pitches,
Speaker 1: because you're one hundred percent right. You would expect a
Speaker 1: young team like the Orioles, with a lot of young
Speaker 1: guns trying to make their name in the show it's
Speaker 1: opening day, to be super aggressive to get out of
Speaker 1: their approach. Nope, it looked like a bunch of veterans
Speaker 1: who have been there for ten years. And what was
Speaker 1: kind of the Orioles problem in the playoffs, right, it
Speaker 1: looked like the lights were a little bit too bright.
Speaker 2: When they went up against Texas.
Speaker 1: Now we understand the Texas Rangers won the World Series,
Speaker 1: so it's not a bad loss to lose to them,
Speaker 1: but it did seem like a couple of players on
Speaker 1: the Orioles just looked their age. They certainly did not
Speaker 1: look their age. Mike Trout Homer's in the first inning,
Speaker 1: was any Orioles fan worried? And then instantly it was
Speaker 1: a waterfall of runs. They are dangerous, They're overwhelming. And
Speaker 1: when we were doing our win total bets, right Jack,
Speaker 1: we thought to ourselves, I mean, the Yankees had a
Speaker 1: great game, and I'm excited about them, But how can
Speaker 1: the Orioles not be the favorites in the American League
Speaker 1: and at least in the AL East.
Speaker 2: No, I think they have to be the favorites in
Speaker 2: the American League East. I do think that Houston should
Speaker 2: be considered as the co favorite in the American League
Speaker 2: just because of the pitching depth.
Speaker 1: I know that the Yankees beat them, so like now
Speaker 1: it's it's really Yankees versus Orioles. And when you consider that,
Speaker 1: you know the Yankees have won Soto, maybe it is
Speaker 1: the Yankees.
Speaker 2: You're right, I have no rebuttal that was awesome. Perfect.
Speaker 2: How about Corbyn Burns a bottom dude?
Speaker 1: Okay, we saw one quick joke. Quick do you remember?
Speaker 1: So Arum picked Corbyn Burns as his cy young pick
Speaker 1: and Corbyn Burns gives up a home run to Mike
Speaker 1: Traup and I texted the group chat, Hey nice cy
Speaker 1: young pick arm. Look at what he's doing. He didn't
Speaker 1: give up a hit after that. I looked like a
Speaker 1: total dunce and I was more just making fun of Arham,
Speaker 1: but he was just surgical. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's like the Angels lineup, you know, did them all
Speaker 1: the favors in the world. But he was still on
Speaker 1: and he looked like vintage Corbyn Burns. Think about it,
Speaker 1: Orioles fans, you're kind of now used to this offense?
Speaker 1: Are you used to a guy an opening day shove
Speaker 1: in six innings, one hit, one earned eleven k's down
Speaker 1: the Angel's throat. The only problem with the Angels is
Speaker 1: there pitching. It's not the offense that's a major issue.
Speaker 1: And Corbyn Burns shut it down.
Speaker 2: It was sick. So the curveball is not new to
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns' arsenal at all. It is his second most
Speaker 2: used pitch. He throws it fifteen to twenty percent of
Speaker 2: the time over the course of you know, each of
Speaker 2: the last three seasons. If I'm going back to twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty one, he was eighteen percent of the time,
Speaker 2: eighteen percent of the time in twenty two, seventeen percent
Speaker 2: of the time in twenty three. That curveball felt almost
Speaker 2: remastered in Start one, and we saw Corbyn kind of
Speaker 2: roll out of the gate slow last year with Milwaukee,
Speaker 2: and maybe he was just frustrated, but like, remember that
Speaker 2: opening day start last year was not great, and the
Speaker 2: first month or so of Corbyn Burns was not great,
Speaker 2: and then he settled in and it was Corbyn Burns again.
Speaker 2: But man, like this felt like an invigorated Corbyn Burns.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you see it with the cutter, surely, but
Speaker 2: I really saw it with the curveball, and I saw
Speaker 2: it like how he kind of tinkered with it. And
Speaker 2: I was listening to the radio broadcast for a little
Speaker 2: bit for the Orioles and they were talking about how
Speaker 2: he really is hunting with with that curveball. Now, I mean,
Speaker 2: we saw it, and we saw him locking dudes up.
Speaker 2: It was the curveball that stole the show. When it
Speaker 2: feels like any other time we talk about Corbyn Burns,
Speaker 2: it's that cutter at ninety nine, doted on the corner
Speaker 2: and we love it and there's nothing anybody can do
Speaker 2: about it, that bender man. If Burns is right, if
Speaker 2: Bradish is back in early May, I hope he's back
Speaker 2: early May, and you get the best version of g Rod,
Speaker 2: or at least the version of g Rod that is
Speaker 2: improved from last year. I mean, that's a front three
Speaker 2: that I think can contend with really any team in baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna add anything more to the Corbyn
Speaker 1: Burns part because it's like one of those games where
Speaker 1: Steph Curry shoots sixteen and it's like, yeah, he's real
Speaker 1: good at shooting. Yeah, It's like, how much better do
Speaker 1: I have to talk to you about how good Corbin
Speaker 1: Burns is? He was, I mean, he was vintage one
Speaker 1: of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. On Opening
Speaker 1: Day at home, Birdland is out there spurt and water
Speaker 1: for their guys. They don't have to do shit for
Speaker 1: the other team because they weren't scoring. One more point
Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring up about this game. Were
Speaker 1: you listening to the Orioles broadcast when you were watching
Speaker 1: the game, or you listen to Angels Orioles. Did you
Speaker 1: hear the interview with their new owner David Rubinstein.
Speaker 2: I did not, but I saw Kevin Brown tweet that
Speaker 2: he loved their conversation at the second inning.
Speaker 1: It was if I was a fan of the Orioles
Speaker 1: after everything that they've been through. To hear this man
Speaker 1: talk about what he wants to do. Ugh, I wished
Speaker 1: I was an Orioles fan during that entire statement, because
Speaker 1: you know when like Hedge fund guys come in or
Speaker 1: any owner and they want to take a big role
Speaker 1: in the team. Maybe it was their dream as a
Speaker 1: little kid and they want to pull a Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: where they're part GM part owner. No, he said, I
Speaker 1: have Michael Ias. I'm gonna let him do whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: And as an Orioles fan, knowing that Michael Oas is
Speaker 1: fantastic in the margins but hasn't had the ammo to
Speaker 1: go make the big move, and now these guys are
Speaker 1: coming in and they're like, well, we can help sell
Speaker 1: season tickets, we can help you know with charities, but
Speaker 1: like we're just trying to make the Orioles a better
Speaker 1: team financially to help Michael Lias continue to grow this team.
Speaker 1: He made some jokes about the Magna Carta. He asked
Speaker 1: if there was a mercy rule in the second inning.
Speaker 1: I love David Rubenstein. I just came away from that
Speaker 1: big like I wish you were my owner.
Speaker 2: So you're kind of done with the Steinbrenners. Huh. You know,
Speaker 2: you know we want to know, we're want to know
Speaker 2: you are. So I am going to go back and
Speaker 2: listen to that second ending conversation because everything that I've read,
Speaker 2: I really love the vibe and that just sounds like
Speaker 2: somebody that I would immediately latch onto. And you think
Speaker 2: about the people that are trying to replicate the Jerry
Speaker 2: Jones template. It never works. But the people that find
Speaker 2: their own way to be involved with the team and
Speaker 2: still trust their lead decision makers on the baseball front
Speaker 2: are the ones that are great at this. It did
Speaker 2: feel like Steve Cohen was overstepping his boundaries a little
Speaker 2: bit with Billy Eppler, and hey, it's not working. We'll
Speaker 2: see if Steve Cohen continues to overstep boundaries with David Stearns.
Speaker 2: I assume not be because he brought the right guy
Speaker 2: in to do it. But those two working in tandem
Speaker 2: is so important. That's why the Padres got really good.
Speaker 2: Peter Seidler loved the San Diego Padres. He wanted to
Speaker 2: see them be really good. He trusted AJ Preler and
Speaker 2: AJ Preller. While we think he's a madman, he's maybe
Speaker 2: the best drafter in Major League Baseball. They develop like
Speaker 2: very few others can, and man like when they're right,
Speaker 2: When they have that farm system replenished, he can go
Speaker 2: move for the big fish. Mike Elias just developed an
Speaker 2: organization that last year, at this time last year March
Speaker 2: twenty eighth, twenty twenty three, you could argue is twice
Speaker 2: as good as any other farm system in baseball. You've
Speaker 2: got that guy in place. Give him the keys to
Speaker 2: the Ferrari. He was driving a Honda Civic for the
Speaker 2: last five years.
Speaker 1: Now you're giving Michaelias money. Be afraid, rest of the
Speaker 1: American lad.
Speaker 2: It's Andrew Friedman. You've got a guy that was working
Speaker 2: on financial constraints, and you take him from a kiddie
Speaker 2: pool and you put him in the Atlantic Ocean and
Speaker 2: he can roam free. Cross sport reference. The vibe from
Speaker 2: David Rubinstein is very similar to Matt Ishbia when he
Speaker 2: took over the Phoenix Suns. Have you been following any
Speaker 2: of that, not even a little bit so Matt Ishbia,
Speaker 2: do your reading if you're interested. But he was like,
Speaker 2: I want to build the Sun's back up, and they're
Speaker 2: doing it. And right after Ishbia took over, they traded
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant and they traded for Bradley Beal. So
Speaker 2: I'm all the way in on that. Should we move
Speaker 2: to the four o'clock first pitches? Let's do it. Let's
Speaker 2: start in Chicago Detroit and the White Sox pitchers duel
Speaker 2: who was better Crochet or Schooble.
Speaker 1: I mean, Scoople was unconscious, but Croche had a tougher
Speaker 1: assignment because have you seen this White Sox lineup?
Speaker 2: Mm? Hm, oh you have? What have you? I don't
Speaker 2: see it, but it's just listening. Have you seen it?
Speaker 2: I mean it was a dumpster.
Speaker 1: So I had Tiger's money line, for example, And I'm
Speaker 1: getting a little bit nervous in the later innings because
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what if the White Sox come back?
Speaker 1: They didn't never had a chance. So it's like Scoobal
Speaker 1: did scooble things. That's why I bet on him to
Speaker 1: win the cy Young Everything was working, but at the
Speaker 1: same time he's blown middle middle fastballs by guys It's
Speaker 1: just like I didn't I didn't come away from the
Speaker 1: start with Schooball learning anything new. I knew he was dominant.
Speaker 1: I knew that in his last two starts against the
Speaker 1: White Sox in the regular season in twenty three through
Speaker 1: twelve innings, only allowed two runs. Just dominates them. But
Speaker 1: how about Gerrit Croche?
Speaker 2: Holy shit, this was.
Speaker 1: His first start in professional baseball. The last time he
Speaker 1: made a start was at the University of Tennessee. Did
Speaker 1: you know that it was the first time the White
Speaker 1: Sox they're opening day starter when it's his first start
Speaker 1: since nineteen oh one with Roy Patterson.
Speaker 2: I mean it makes sense, Like why would you ever
Speaker 2: run a guy out? Think about this. The last time
Speaker 2: he threw the first pitch of a game was before
Speaker 2: the world shut down in March to twenty twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a long time ago. Did you see the cutter?
Speaker 2: It's disgusting, Like what he does, how he cuts the
Speaker 2: ball is disgusting. And he's a big dude that works downhill.
Speaker 2: He throws hard. He doesn't throw one hundred and two
Speaker 2: anymore like he did a Tennessee but man, like he's
Speaker 2: in the mid nineties and that is it classified as
Speaker 2: a cutter. I know he's got a slider that's gross,
Speaker 2: but yes, it was the three pitches that looked like
Speaker 2: they were classified.
Speaker 1: It was this ninety eight mile an hour heater that
Speaker 1: just gets on guys high ride, big body.
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet was he six six sixty seven.
Speaker 1: He looks enormous on the mound, just coming at you
Speaker 1: with all legs and it's like tight pants and it's
Speaker 1: just it's at you so fast. Then he has this
Speaker 1: ninety four mile hour cutter. He takes a little bit
Speaker 1: off it and just has that little bit of cut
Speaker 1: and guys just don't know what to do with it.
Speaker 1: And then the slider from hell. I was watching it
Speaker 1: big like, I mean, this is a diamond in the rough.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is incredible. But again the Tigers offense,
Speaker 1: I was also very disappointed with it.
Speaker 2: It's not good.
Speaker 1: I was just like, who are the guys in either
Speaker 1: of these lineups that are gonna make an impact today?
Speaker 2: So Luise Robert, Louise Robert is the guy in the
Speaker 2: White Sox lineup that's gonna make it impact. And then no,
Speaker 2: he didn't. And then you've got he went one for
Speaker 2: four with two punch outs, and then you've got you know, Tork,
Speaker 2: Like Riley Green's not at that level yet. I don't
Speaker 2: I don't even know if Tork's at that level yet. No,
Speaker 2: neither of them are. I mean they're both good. I
Speaker 2: both like them long term, but right now, I mean
Speaker 2: you can't compare them to Louise Robert right now. No, no,
Speaker 2: absolutely not. We were I just sent you a screenshot
Speaker 2: of the Guardian's lineup. I was like, this is really
Speaker 2: not good life. But it's like, Okay, Jay Ram is
Speaker 2: in the Luise Robert conversation, but aside from that, Bobby
Speaker 2: Witt Junior is in that conversation when it comes to
Speaker 2: you know, dynamic superstar hitters. But aside from that, the
Speaker 2: al Central is starved for talent. It was a one
Speaker 2: nothing game. It was a pitcher's dual. Schooble as of
Speaker 2: right now, is leading opening day starters in swings and misses.
Speaker 2: I think he got twenty whiffs in six innings. I
Speaker 2: mean he was discussing you combine Schoobling. Crochet's lines was
Speaker 2: twelve innings, eight hits, one run, fourteen punchouts, no walks
Speaker 2: between the two. Crochet I was expecting like three four walks.
Speaker 2: The fact that we got six innings, one run, eight
Speaker 2: punch outs, no walks amazing. I'm very happy. As a
Speaker 2: White Sox person, I'm I'm very happy. My dumb ass
Speaker 2: bet him under four and a half shrikeouts. He hadn't
Speaker 2: gone more than four innings in a spring training start.
Speaker 2: Then he goes six. I don't know what to do
Speaker 2: minute innings.
Speaker 1: One more thing that I wanted to run across you
Speaker 1: that I just found was interesting. Alex Lang is supposed
Speaker 1: to be the closer for the Tigers game one hundred
Speaker 1: one o one man our sinkers.
Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, but.
Speaker 1: I mean he's always thrown gas with the sinker, but
Speaker 1: one oh one, I haven't seen that out of folly.
Speaker 1: But it was chafin for four outs and then fully
Speaker 1: got the last two. And I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: are they saving Lang? Did he lose the job?
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: I was just I didn't I didn't understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: it worked out, didn't matter. I mean they could have
Speaker 1: thrown me literally in there and all. I mean these
Speaker 1: White Sox leeders that no shot, But I would have
Speaker 1: expected their closer in a one zero game an opening day,
Speaker 1: but I mean fully looked great.
Speaker 2: So did Chaffin. But again it's the White Sox. So
Speaker 2: I don't know, it is the White Sox. I don't
Speaker 2: know what happened with Lang. I don't have an answer
Speaker 2: to that, and I don't I haven't seen anything that
Speaker 2: aj Hinch said, so it remains to be seen. I
Speaker 2: guess I was looking for what aj Hinch might have said,
Speaker 2: and there was nothing. Nothing, nothing. Let's move to the
Speaker 2: Nick Martini game eight? Who the Reds beat the Nts?
Speaker 2: Nick Martini, a guy that play Snoden, our guy, our
Speaker 2: staff riter, it's just baseball was tweeting like why is
Speaker 2: he on the roster? And I'm with him, I'm like,
Speaker 2: why is Nick Martini playing when you could just dh
Speaker 2: India and have espen All play second? And then Nick Martini,
Speaker 2: in his first played appearance of the season, hits a
Speaker 2: tank and a half out to right field as part
Speaker 2: one of a multi homer day Reds win eight to two.
Speaker 2: Martini was awesome, Great, He's not gonna have one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty home runs this year. Frankie Montes might be
Speaker 2: that dude, though Frankie went with six scoreless four punch outs,
Speaker 2: no walks. Frankie Montas final line six innings, four hits,
Speaker 2: no runs, four k's, no walks. Amazing from Frankie Montas.
Speaker 1: I don't want to interrupt this game because I do
Speaker 1: want to keep talking about it. But as we are talking,
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks just put up fourteen runs in the third inning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sixteen to one. Not it ideal for cal Freelid.
Speaker 2: Not great. Hope you didn't have Rocky's money line. I
Speaker 2: did not, did not.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a little bit embarrassing, but we could
Speaker 1: talk about that at the end.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought Frankie Montas pitched really, really well. A lot
Speaker 1: of soft contact, breaking balls were working. It looked like
Speaker 1: the guy who was on the A's that the Yankees
Speaker 1: traded three or four prospects for, but he was hurt
Speaker 1: his entire time on the Yankees. And I thought Foolish
Speaker 1: Baseball had a great tweet Frankie Montas is just imitating
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray's career.
Speaker 2: I thought that was hilarious. But it's again like.
Speaker 1: I personally didn't pull a ton away from the start
Speaker 1: because I also thought the Nationals just showed up for nothing.
Speaker 1: I mean, Josiah Gray did not look good at all.
Speaker 1: The offense I thought just put up terrible at bats.
Speaker 1: They were swinging first pitch at bat, it at bad pitches.
Speaker 1: Like I did think Frankie Montas pitched well. But I
Speaker 1: think this game was more of an indictment on the
Speaker 1: Nationals than it was on the Reds.
Speaker 2: First, they were Yeah, I mean they were lethargic, like
Speaker 2: Joey Maness was two for forward to two singles. Took
Speaker 2: until Emelio Pegan came in for them to get on
Speaker 2: the board. It was a two run homer from Eddie Rossario.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I really didn't have much reactions from that game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought the Reds handled business against a guy and
Speaker 1: Joe Siagray, who I'm pretty down on this year. We
Speaker 1: saw him firsthand in spring training. I didn't think he
Speaker 1: looked that great. His peripherals were not good last year,
Speaker 1: and the Reds just took care of business with Nick
Speaker 1: Martini right. Yeah, I really didn't have any major takeaways
Speaker 1: from that other than Frankie Montoss looked good. But I
Speaker 1: need to see more because the Nationals I thought looked
Speaker 1: so terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Twins Royals in Kansas City Minnesota wins at
Speaker 2: four to one. The story here and listen, Pablo Lopez
Speaker 2: was great. Col Reagan's I thought was really solid. Cole
Speaker 2: Reagan's six two runs, nine punch outs, Pablo seven innings,
Speaker 2: a one run ball cade, seven no walks. Reagan's allowed
Speaker 2: a homer, it was to Royce Lewis, and then Royce
Speaker 2: Lewis goes first a third. It fucks up his quad.
Speaker 2: We're waiting on the severity of it. But man, this
Speaker 2: is unreal. What's going on with Royce Lewis. And you know,
Speaker 2: I made the equip and like I didn't mean it
Speaker 2: in a joking manner at all. He gets hurt and
Speaker 2: the Royals broadcast immediately flashes a Royce Lewis injury history graphic.
Speaker 2: It's like you have it stocked. That's where we're at
Speaker 2: with Royce Lewis, and he's so talented. I don't want
Speaker 2: to call it frustrating, because frankly, it's really sad. It's
Speaker 2: hard for me to latch on because as soon as
Speaker 2: we get that taste, it just goes away like that.
Speaker 2: All the time. I'm rooting for Royce. I hope it's
Speaker 2: just like tightness. I hope Justin Steele is just tightness
Speaker 2: at his hammy. But man, like this guy's fragility. If
Speaker 2: I was a Twins fan, I'd be I'd be stirring
Speaker 2: and I'd be losing sleep knowing that you got to
Speaker 2: deal with Buckston and Royce Lewis in this way.
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis, Yes, he takes Cole Reagan's deep on like
Speaker 1: a ninety seven mile an hour fastball and just pulls
Speaker 1: it out of Kaufman Stadium. But then I thought his
Speaker 1: next a B bullet slider eighty seven miles an hour
Speaker 1: on the black, and he takes it to left field
Speaker 1: on just a perfect swing.
Speaker 2: And then when he's rounding third, it's just the quad
Speaker 2: thing again.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not trying to toot my own
Speaker 1: horn at all, But isn't it exactly what I described
Speaker 1: when we were talking about our top one hundred or
Speaker 1: my top one hundred, where I was like, he is
Speaker 1: more talented than most third basement, but his inability to
Speaker 1: stay on the field is extremely frustrating because it's it's
Speaker 1: almost like a Buckston thing, right. I hope it never
Speaker 1: gets there, but it's immense talent but just cannot stay
Speaker 1: on the field, but Pablo Lopez looked really, really good.
Speaker 1: He gave up that first home run to Michael Garcia
Speaker 1: and he was throwing like ninety four miles an hour,
Speaker 1: and then the next dab it was back up to
Speaker 1: ninety seven and it was like, hey, I can't take
Speaker 1: it easy here, and he just cruised through this Royals lineup.
Speaker 1: But again, like, yeah, I don't know what else to
Speaker 1: say about Royce Lewis. When he's on the field, he's
Speaker 1: what a top twenty five talent, Yeah, but he's not
Speaker 1: on the field enough. And then we just get this again,
Speaker 1: and like, if I'm a Twins fan, I'm just tearing
Speaker 1: my hair out.
Speaker 2: Like he got the win.
Speaker 1: It feels good. You deserve the win. Pablo looked great,
Speaker 1: Ils Cray look pretty damn good too.
Speaker 2: On Deepud look damn good.
Speaker 1: It's just it's disappointing. It's disappointing when you win on
Speaker 1: opening day. But there's already issues I'm feeling for Twins fans.
Speaker 2: There are a couple of guys to me that I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: if you are good, then baseball is better. Trout went
Speaker 2: yard today. I had that feeling.
Speaker 1: It's like baseball's just better when Mike Trout's great. Baseball
Speaker 1: is better when Anthony Rendon is sucking to strike out
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: Or the air strike out of the era. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is poetry good and then he had like a
Speaker 2: good three inning stretch there and then it was like
Speaker 2: I'm checked out now. Yeah, it's like reverse nap time.
Speaker 2: As soon as the clock hit like three point thirty
Speaker 2: for him, he was like, yeah, I'm ready to go,
Speaker 2: just a late start, But the game is great when
Speaker 2: Mike Trout is great. I think baseball is better when
Speaker 2: Carlos Korea is great. And I think that Carlos Korea
Speaker 2: is prime for a bounce back year. Is it great? Andess,
Speaker 2: I don't know, is it really good? I hope so,
Speaker 2: because he was only good last.
Speaker 1: Year the defense elite. There was a couple of these
Speaker 1: hit the slide that he does and then jumps back
Speaker 1: up and just.
Speaker 2: Fires over the very at that. He's a very unique cat.
Speaker 2: He's he's got one of the best arms in all
Speaker 2: of baseball and he's a big dude that knows how
Speaker 2: to use his body perfectly at shortstop. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: fun watch. You mentioned Oneo Cruz and like, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about him in a moment because he's a freakazoid, but
Speaker 2: like it's it's that kind of thing where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you are an unorthodox shortstop, but you play it in
Speaker 2: a way that I like watching. That's my thing with Korea.
Speaker 2: It's like he doesn't fit the mold of like your classic,
Speaker 2: silky smooth, six foot one shortstop.
Speaker 1: He's like a tree turner or like you know, a
Speaker 1: Lindor or you know the guy that plays it like
Speaker 1: a big guy. Yeah, he plays it like I mean,
Speaker 1: he looks like a third baseman playing shortstop, but he
Speaker 1: gets every ball and he fires it over there at
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour, and he looked great at
Speaker 1: the plate. It was just good to see like healthy
Speaker 1: Carlos Korea play baseball because people forget he is arguably
Speaker 1: one of the best shortstops in baseball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of one hundred miles an hour, talk to
Speaker 2: me about the one hundred and twelve off the bat
Speaker 2: from Vladimir Guerrero Junior in an eight to two win
Speaker 2: in Tampa.
Speaker 1: It was awesome, man, Vladdie hit that home run and
Speaker 1: he got a bunch more hits in that game, didn't.
Speaker 2: He Laddie was h one for five with a bunch.
Speaker 1: No, but hey, hey that home run, Like, let's celebrate it.
Speaker 1: And we're not going to talk about how Bashett went
Speaker 1: two for four with the double and you know, played
Speaker 1: really good defense. No, but Vladdie did hit that home
Speaker 1: run as a first baseman. He did hit a home
Speaker 1: run today. Good for you, Laddie. Hell yeah, you got
Speaker 1: your home run.
Speaker 2: I hope's got. He's got. What's o PS thirteen fifty?
Speaker 2: Oh it is? That's fuddy. Why'd you bring up Bladdy?
Speaker 2: By the way, Well, it doesn't fit my agenda. Zach
Speaker 2: Efflin struggled at home.
Speaker 1: No, he didn't struggle. I thought Kevin Cash just left
Speaker 1: him and for no reason. I mean, yeah, but like
Speaker 1: it was all in the later innings. I mean he
Speaker 1: was a five spoty yeah.
Speaker 2: Early, yeah. I want he pitched.
Speaker 1: I thought he pitched really well. It looked like he
Speaker 1: was gas at the end of the fifth and they
Speaker 1: just kept him in. I didn't really understand why. And
Speaker 1: then he got pelted in the sixth inning. So I'm
Speaker 1: not putting a lot of stock in Eflyn start. I
Speaker 1: didn't think he got killed. I thought he ran out
Speaker 1: of gas. At the end, and then the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: piled on and good for the blue Jays, they look great.
Speaker 1: How about Barrios? Yeah, I'm making fun of like Vladdie,
Speaker 1: I don't want to take it away from the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays performance today. No, no Jays, we're screwing around here.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're a Blue Jays fan because you
Speaker 1: do not have a good history in the trap. They're
Speaker 1: under five hundred in the last three seasons. I think
Speaker 1: they're like thirty six and fifty seven career at the
Speaker 1: trop it's just not good. But to come an opening
Speaker 1: day when you have the and for all those watching
Speaker 1: on YouTube quote unquote inferior picture, right, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people would say Eflyn is the better pitcher
Speaker 1: than Barrios. But Brios did not back down, right, Yandi
Speaker 1: Diez hits that leadoff home run, and I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: all right, this is a raised blowout, right, it's just
Speaker 1: the razor back. Nope, settled down and looked great, was
Speaker 1: surgical and it was really a picture dol until that
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, five runs sixth that was what put it away.
Speaker 1: But just question for you, who do you think was
Speaker 1: the MVP of that game. I'm just asking what do
Speaker 1: you think? Do you think it was a set?
Speaker 2: Peter? I think it was Bobachette. Okay, just curious. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna move on to the west coast before that
Speaker 2: quick break. We're not moving totally out west yet. We
Speaker 2: are going to the south and just west of the
Speaker 2: southeast for the Yankees and the Astros. The Yankees win
Speaker 2: that one, five to four. Juan Soto with a huge
Speaker 2: outfield assist Oswaldo Cabrera went yard in a big moment
Speaker 2: from Berg couldn't really throw a strike to save his life.
Speaker 2: Nestor struggled. This was a weird game, and I was
Speaker 2: really excited for this game. It was a fun game,
Speaker 2: but like in different ways, and I was expecting and
Speaker 2: hoping crazy game.
Speaker 1: The Yankees left ten runners on base and still one
Speaker 1: first inning ground ball double play with bases loaded. Second
Speaker 1: inning groundball double play, bases loaded. I think they had another.
Speaker 2: One in the fourth.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they had three total, and it looked
Speaker 1: like a disaster early on. And as a Yankee fan,
Speaker 1: right we're going in two minute made at Houston against
Speaker 1: Framber with Nessa Cortez junior who hasn't looked that great
Speaker 1: in spring training. I kind of chucked it up as
Speaker 1: an l and then watching the first few innings, right
Speaker 1: the Astros put up four almost immediately, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: oh God, another season like this. Then Won Sotto hits
Speaker 1: the ball in the gap and you can just see
Speaker 1: the energy changing with the Yankees. Bot Be put up
Speaker 1: good abs, I thought, for Dugo put up some good abs.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Judge still got his hit. Judged did't look great, but whatever.
Speaker 1: Stanton did not look good, but whatever.
Speaker 2: But the energy.
Speaker 1: This is a game that the Yankees have lost over
Speaker 1: the past five years. They lose this game is but
Speaker 1: they won it today.
Speaker 2: And seeing Judge and Soto dap up in the outfield,
Speaker 2: that that had to get fired up, Like I haven't
Speaker 2: been this happy about Yankees baseball a long time.
Speaker 1: That get you aroused, Like, let's be honest. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to be graphic. You could use
Speaker 1: your imagination, do it.
Speaker 2: You let out like a sound where you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I mean we have one Soto. I think Won Soto
Speaker 2: on your team is a different beast. Yeah, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: That game was awesome and no Nester settled in though,
Speaker 1: you know, he got his punches. Command was a little
Speaker 1: bit better. The fastball velocity actually looked fine. It looked
Speaker 1: better than what it was in spring training.
Speaker 2: He just got it.
Speaker 1: He got roughed up early. Lowisega came in and looked
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 2: I'm banking on that guy to have a good year.
Speaker 2: I think Lewisaga is not the X factor, but he
Speaker 2: is an X factor for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1: Especially if Clay Holmes is a little bit fidgety. He
Speaker 1: did not look great in the last inning and one
Speaker 1: sort of throwing that runner out at home. Man, dude,
Speaker 1: I was smiling ear to ear when we finally got
Speaker 1: on the board and they just kept battling that energy.
Speaker 1: The Yankees have been without it for a while to
Speaker 1: come back the never say die. And then I love
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi in the booth with Paul O'Neil and Michael Kay.
Speaker 1: I just had a great time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like you had an awesome Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1: And Astros fans, I know you guys are listening. You're
Speaker 1: probably just so sick of here. Give me a break.
Speaker 1: You guys have been beating the shit out of us,
Speaker 1: like basically my entire adult life, and give me this one,
Speaker 1: give me this one.
Speaker 2: And hey, Jake Myers went yard like that's something to
Speaker 2: be happy about. Oh yeah, panick level with frombers scale
Speaker 2: of one to ten.
Speaker 1: Not really that panic because I thought his stuff look good.
Speaker 1: He just had no idea where it was going, which
Speaker 1: I more chalk up to just like early season woes.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, this was happening last year, right,
Speaker 1: so maybe this is a continuation. But the stream I
Speaker 1: was watching on it had like a different camera view,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching his sinker dart into the zone and
Speaker 1: his off speed pitches. This is disgusting.
Speaker 2: It's the Yankees.
Speaker 1: It's all hard and you're gonna get the Yankees credit here,
Speaker 1: Like Framburg did not look good, but the Yankees put
Speaker 1: up excellent abs. They were not chasing all those curveballs
Speaker 1: in the dirt that they've been swinging out for years.
Speaker 1: They weren't swinging at them. They had a plan and
Speaker 1: they attacked, and even when they went down, they never
Speaker 1: gave up. I'm over the moon, I mean that was
Speaker 1: I was smile a year to year, bab.
Speaker 2: I dig it. I forgot about one game on the
Speaker 2: East coast. We're gonna go back to it. Pirates beat
Speaker 2: the Marlins six' five and. TWELVE i loved that. GAME
Speaker 2: i like from seven, onward that was ALL i was.
Speaker 2: Watching Luis ortiz looked. Amazing did you see that O'Neal
Speaker 2: cruz home run that left his bad at one hundred
Speaker 2: and six miles an? Hour and if you haven't seen the,
Speaker 2: video go back and watch the video because it looks
Speaker 2: like he should have popped out to. Shortstop but he's
Speaker 2: such a big dude that swings so, hard so fast
Speaker 2: through the zone that that somehow left is bad at
Speaker 2: one oh six and found its way over the left field.
Speaker 2: FENCE i Love, depot which is a big which is
Speaker 2: a big. PARK i cannot believe. Him he is he
Speaker 2: does something literally, unbelievable and then we talk often about
Speaker 2: how MUCH i hate that, word AND i think that's
Speaker 2: starting to rub off To arm. Two he's like he's
Speaker 2: noticing every time he says the word. Unbelievable he's, like, yeah, no.
Speaker 2: Overused it's not overused with. Him he's, like you see
Speaker 2: that swing and you see the result six seconds, later
Speaker 2: and you're, like how did that?
Speaker 1: Happen he also has the most aesthetically aesthetically esthetically leasing
Speaker 1: throw over to first. Base it's like a sling. Shot
Speaker 1: AND i, was you, know we were talking About crayon comparing. Them,
Speaker 1: Yeah craya might have similar, velocity but it ain't close
Speaker 1: in terms of.
Speaker 2: Just thek that comes out of that.
Speaker 1: Man oh man In. Pittsburgh he's. Looser, yeah he's a dangerous.
Speaker 1: MAN i will say That keller didn't look. Good Mitch
Speaker 1: keller five and, two, third, seven, hit five, runs four
Speaker 1: of which.
Speaker 2: Earned i'm not. RESPECTFUL i thought he looked like ass
Speaker 2: good like it. Was it was a very laborious five and.
Speaker 1: Two also terrible for his, standards because his standards last
Speaker 1: year he was and then to do that no. Strikeouts
Speaker 1: the stuff didn't look. Great it looked like it was
Speaker 1: a tune up game for. Him it just didn't look
Speaker 1: right at. All that's WHY i thought he looked, terrible
Speaker 1: because it was more almost body language and velocity and you,
Speaker 1: know dibbling around the. CORNERS i was, like this Isn't Mitch.
Speaker 1: Keller this isn't The Mitch keller with a high nineties
Speaker 1: fastball when you should break it. Off that sweeper from
Speaker 1: hell looked like a water down version of. HIM i
Speaker 1: expect way more from.
Speaker 2: Him i'm with. YOU i Thought lozardo was. GOOD i
Speaker 2: thought the bullpen was not. GOOD i Thought keller was not.
Speaker 2: GOOD i thought The pirates' bullpen was really. Good pirates
Speaker 2: bullpen had Seven shutty was. GREAT i Mean Hunter, stratten
Speaker 2: a guy That i've spent the last two years with In.
Speaker 2: INDIANAPOLIS i love that that guy is shoving and he's good. Man,
Speaker 2: YEAH i think people are gonna realize that he's good
Speaker 2: and like a legitimate big. Leaguer and, remember No bednar.
Speaker 2: Either bennar never came. In No. Bednar we were, like
Speaker 2: where Is? Bednar but apparently he's still working his way
Speaker 2: back from a lat. Issue Ryan baruki hitting in a
Speaker 2: third two punch out snow, hits he went four, up
Speaker 2: four down or all. This chapman went three, up three,
Speaker 2: Down luis Or tis to scoreless innings and. Extras and
Speaker 2: Then Jose, hernandez, who LIKE i was sitting there At
Speaker 2: indians media day yesterday and we were, like where Is Jose.
Speaker 2: Hernandez he's supposed to be here and it's, like oh,
Speaker 2: no he's got to go To. Pittsburgh the injury he's
Speaker 2: he's the call up For Opening. Day kat gets a.
Speaker 2: Save he was supposed to be a media day In
Speaker 2: tripaa On, wednesday and he gets a save on Opening
Speaker 2: day On. Thursday that's kind of. Fun he has a
Speaker 2: good little breaket ball.
Speaker 1: There he was, Good NO i guy last. Year if
Speaker 1: you're A pirates fan after that, game you have to
Speaker 1: be over the. Moon the fact That Mitch keller gave you.
Speaker 1: Nothing you didn't really hit much Off. LOZARDO i know
Speaker 1: you got your two, runs but you know you didn't
Speaker 1: play well Against. Lozardo but he kept.
Speaker 2: Battling and That Miami marlins, bullpen it's not a bad
Speaker 2: bullpen by, oh Like nardi's. Good nardi got hit a couple,
Speaker 2: times but that's that's all, Right like looked.
Speaker 1: Good nardi was great last, year and The pirates came
Speaker 1: up and they did their business against, him and they
Speaker 1: just kept in it and kept in.
Speaker 2: It and DO i have to, repeat DO i have
Speaker 2: to say it?
Speaker 1: Again The marlins one run rule thirty three and thirteen last,
Speaker 1: year and now they're zero to one and they blew
Speaker 1: a three run lead and they lose the one run.
Speaker 1: Game it's gonna happen to The marlins this. YEAR i
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to be on the right side of.
Speaker 1: It that's ALL i gotta.
Speaker 2: SAY i Mean Tim anderson had a. Double okay to,
Speaker 2: that he did have a. Double, YEAH i really enjoyed.
Speaker 1: THAT i didn't really have many takeaways from The marlins,
Speaker 1: offense did You, NO i.
Speaker 2: DIDN'T i loved The ta. Double that was really.
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i just Thought Mitch keller looked. Terrible that's where
Speaker 1: they got the runs and they were. Capitalized then it
Speaker 1: just shut. Off so it's, like, YEAH i, again it's
Speaker 1: more of an indictment On keller. SOMETHING i didn't think
Speaker 1: that The marlins didn't play well. Offensively it's just If
Speaker 1: keller had his, STUFF i don't think The marlins would
Speaker 1: have scored at.
Speaker 2: All. Yeah, Also Connor joe saved In Odeo cruz throwing
Speaker 2: air that would have allowed a run to. Score Respect Connor,
Speaker 2: Joe respect My King. Joe let's go To San diego

Speaker 1: All there was nobody that really jumped out of. Me
Speaker 1: it's good to See junghu league at his first, hit but,
Speaker 1: overall this was one of the games THAT i also
Speaker 1: didn't really have any. TAKEAWAYS i thought it was one

Speaker 1: Pitch fine offense came in spurts against bad, pitches and
Speaker 1: The padres won the. Game i'm, sorry that's JUST i
Speaker 1: didn't also catch a ton of this, game but the

Speaker 1: performance by the, Offense just. Pitiful they had three, Hits
Speaker 1: goldie at all three of.
Speaker 2: Them.
Speaker 1: YEP i was so disappointed BECAUSE i also didn't think

Speaker 1: couldn't do shit with. It AND i Know glassdow even
Speaker 1: without his best, stuff is Still Tyler, GLASSNOW i get.
Speaker 1: It but the abs like there was nothing from The cardinals,
Speaker 1: offense and it looked exactly like this same team from last,
Speaker 1: year just, lethargic not trying to get. After it looked
Speaker 1: like as soon as The dodgers put up those, runs
Speaker 1: the game was. Over And i'm not even really talking About,
Speaker 1: Michaelis Like, michael's, yeah he got beat the hell up
Speaker 1: by The.
Speaker 2: Dodgers it's gonna.

Speaker 1: my Worst Opening, day AND i know it's just, joking
Speaker 1: but Like michaelis didn't pitch. Well If michaelis is Starting
Speaker 1: Opening day for This cardinals team and the offense shows
Speaker 1: up like, that it's gonna be another terrible season for The.
Speaker 1: CARDINALS i was just really excited to watch this offense
Speaker 1: come to, play especially in this series against The. Dodgers
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful day and they just laid an egg
Speaker 1: get in this. Shower they looked like. Ass they probably
Speaker 1: smelled like a. Too it was so disappointed with the.
Speaker 2: OFFENSE i really was when do you start blaming the
Speaker 2: lethargy on the guy on the top, step the dugout
Speaker 2: that just got. EXTENDED i don't even said at. Him
Speaker 2: they're obviously. SOLD i don't know what they're. Like, dude
Speaker 2: don't know what they're. Doing we were blaming the lethargy
Speaker 2: on him last, year and we were blaming all the
Speaker 2: media gaffs on him last year because it was him
Speaker 2: that was committed all the media. Guests The tyler O'Neill
Speaker 2: saga was, Stupid The Wilson contreras saga was. Stupid and
Speaker 2: now you see this team lay an egg on opening.
Speaker 2: Day come, on be, better be.
Speaker 1: Better and you have to, Remember cardinals, fans you're probably
Speaker 1: hearing this and being, like shut, up, guys one, game we.
Speaker 2: Hold no a higher. Stand this is one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty three. Games AND i.
Speaker 1: Agree that's WHY i was going to continue into it,

Speaker 2: to wrap a final in ten In. Arlington jonaheim walked
Speaker 2: it off four to, three the win over The. Cubs
Speaker 2: was it a foul?
Speaker 1: Ball?

Speaker 2: game WHICH i really. Appreciated did you see that foul ball? Yet?
Speaker 1: NO i, did like six hundred FEET i saw a
Speaker 1: SICK i just thought he had a foul ball THAT
Speaker 1: i thought.
Speaker 2: Was five hundred feet. Plus. Interesting, yeah it was good
Speaker 2: to See langford leg out his first. Hit that was
Speaker 2: like a fun. ONE i wish he went, yard but
Speaker 2: like infield single For Wyatt. Langford it's like the guy
Speaker 2: who you know has this crazy. Power he's gonna hit
Speaker 2: forty five in his rookie, year and it's like his
Speaker 2: field single first? Hit is it infield? Single that's baseball for.
Speaker 2: You wasn't That harper's first? HIT i don't. Know it
Speaker 2: might So harper's first hit was either an infield single or.
Speaker 1: It was wasn't it that bubble over the? Shortstop it
Speaker 1: was that ball to the other? WAY i, THOUGHT i
Speaker 1: remember Young. HARPER i don't know if that was his first.
Speaker 2: HIT i thought it could have been a double directly
Speaker 2: over the centerfielder's. HEAD i feel like it was In
Speaker 2: la and it was right Over Matt kemp's. Head fact
Speaker 2: check me and tell me in the YouTube comments like
Speaker 2: the situation that Brought Bryce harper his first, Pie but
Speaker 2: it wasn't it kind of the other? Way IF i
Speaker 2: think we're thinking about the same. Play, whatever let's talk
Speaker 2: about The rangers in the. CUPS i don't. Know it
Speaker 2: was a fun.
Speaker 1: Game steel going down was a, disaster, yeah but.
Speaker 2: It seemed like he was mouthing the word cramp and
Speaker 2: then then the official report was hamstring. Tightness, okay good.
Speaker 2: GOD i would assume that's. CRAMP i don't know if
Speaker 2: that's gonna result in an il. STINT i don't think
Speaker 2: it would result in an ile. Stint if it's a, cramp.
Speaker 1: Okay good because the way he went down after, it
Speaker 1: it looked like he tore his hamstring and then he's
Speaker 1: on his back and he had a limp. Off if
Speaker 1: that's the, case thank. GOD i, mean you get Royce
Speaker 1: lewis in the early. Game then On Thursday Night baseball

Speaker 1: fully on their, side and he comes in that with
Speaker 1: That mississippi. Fastball that was one of the more impressive,

Speaker 2: Early this From taylor McGregor Per Craig, Council Justin steele
Speaker 2: has a left hand string. Strain he will get AN
Speaker 2: mri tomorrow to determine. Severity ile stint quote likely according
Speaker 2: To Greg. Council hopefully it's not. Long hopefully it's not.

Speaker 1: talking you, know The a's or you.
Speaker 2: KNOW i still think they're gonna win sixty. Games but

Speaker 2: The Colorado rockies, either top of the. Six then he
Speaker 2: gets sixteen to One arizona over The rockies after a
Speaker 2: fourteen run. Third and this game is not at Quors,

Speaker 2: Oppo, okay. Okay Two Opening day games coming up. Today
Speaker 2: who wins and? Why at one In New, York Jose
Speaker 2: kintana gets the ball for The mets Against Freddy peralta
Speaker 2: and The. Brewers who wins?
Speaker 1: Why i'm gonna go with The, brewers BUT i think
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of those really close, games
Speaker 1: kind of similar To Cubs rangers Or Pirates, marlins where
Speaker 1: it might go into extra innings or. SOMETHING i just
Speaker 1: think that The brewers have the better starting pitcher on the.
Speaker 1: Mound we Love Freddy. PERALTA i still Think Jose gatana
Speaker 1: is a good. PITCHER i just would give the edge To.
Speaker 1: FREDDY i would also give the edge to The brewers',
Speaker 1: bullpen even though you still Get Edwin diaz and you
Speaker 1: have No Devin. Williams for The, brewers they're just so
Speaker 1: much deeper THAN i think The mets. Are but, OFFENSIVELY
Speaker 1: i would give the edge to The mets. Here The
Speaker 1: mets are also really good on their opening, day So
Speaker 1: i'll go with The. BREWERS i think they win in
Speaker 1: like a four to three type.
Speaker 2: Game i'm Going. Mets in a higher scoring. GAME i
Speaker 2: think six Four, mets because The mets course sticks And
Speaker 2: i'm not sure if The brewers can score six they
Speaker 2: really get.
Speaker 1: To freddy like that or do you think it's more
Speaker 1: bullpen or where are they getting the runs off?
Speaker 2: OF i don't. Know he feels like some middle inning
Speaker 2: fever dream type, shit like maybe an Old freddy and
Speaker 2: To freddy in a middle relief.
Speaker 1: Guy, yeah Like Hoby milner comes, in gives up a
Speaker 1: freaking three run.
Speaker 2: BOMB i can. See, Yeah Like Pete alonzo goes yard
Speaker 2: and it's like Oh alonzo and Then Ethan badowski are
Speaker 2: a social superstar just In. Texas the gator. Emoji it's,
Speaker 2: like oh that's. Sick, yeah, great whatever a gator does,
Speaker 2: anything he lets us. Know he went To. Florida, yeah
Speaker 2: he went To. Florida Stryder wheeler at three zero five
Speaker 2: the game Of Opening day that we had to wait
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. For i'm gonna be locked into this.

Speaker 1: One, YEAH i love this under for all my people
Speaker 1: ON mgm one and a half unit play for, me
Speaker 1: and you KNOW i don't often do. That It's strider
Speaker 1: Versus wheeler with fifteen mile hour wind blowing in At
Speaker 1: Citizens Bank, park one of the most affected ballpark's by
Speaker 1: wind In Major League, baseball second to only Two Wrigley.
Speaker 1: FIELD i think it's going to be a very very
Speaker 1: good pitchers. Duel wheeler's loss has been down a bit
Speaker 1: in spring, training but the numbers still look good in
Speaker 1: terms of a run prevention. Standpoint we know What streider's,
Speaker 1: done fully tuned up. BULLPENS i know everybody's really really
Speaker 1: excited to see these offenses go to, work but it
Speaker 1: might have to be the day after because he Got
Speaker 1: streider Against wheeler second and third best pitchers In Major
Speaker 1: League baseball for, Me cole now, hurt so probably first and.
Speaker 1: Second this is a pitcher's, duel AND i cannot wait
