The hosts of the Hot Corner, a baseball show on WCCU Radio, discuss the free agent market for pitchers Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. It is believed that their agent, Scott Boras, is asking for too much money, which has caused them to remain unsigned. The hosts also discuss potential landing spots for Snell and Montgomery, as well as other baseball news, including the rankings of MLB stadiums and Joey Votto signing with the Toronto Blue Jays. They also briefly mention the top 100 players list for the upcoming season. You locked the door. Hello and welcome to the first edition of the Hot Corner, our new baseball show on WCCU Radio, student run radio station. My name is Danny Sullivan. I am from Boston, Massachusetts, and these are my two co-hosts. Go ahead and introduce yourselves, guys. Hi, everybody. My name is Jake Ward. I am from Long Island, New York, and here with me, a third co-host is my roommate. Tim Reardon. I'm from Long Island, New York, as well. Yeah. All right. Two Long Island fellas. Yeah. So we're just going to start with a couple of big news stories going on in baseball today, and the first one is that two of the main pitchers on the free agent market, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, both remain unsigned, and it's believed that a lot of the reason for this is because their agent, both are represented by Scott Boris, is asking for far too much money from these teams. Would you guys like to comment on that in any way? I previously saw that Blake Snell was asking for a largely, about nine-year, $270 million contract, which I know many teams were not willing to offer him because he is 31. They don't really want to sign a guy for that much money into his 40s, especially being a pitcher. Anything could happen with his arm during his career. I just think, I think he's settled down looking for now a one-year contract is probably better in his favor. Yeah, Bob Nightingale reported the other day that he was now a little bit more willing to settle, and the Angels were a potential contender to land him on a short-term contract with opt-out opportunities in the first year or two. I think that would be a good place for him because just losing Shohei, he'd be a good replacement for the pitching staff and the rotation. I think he'll, if he ends up there, that would be good for him. He'll have a good spot. Jordan Montgomery, his ERA has actually been increasing since he's over Cardinals. It was 3.4. Last year, it was 2.7. So, he should be a hot target for the Yankees. Rumored to the Red Sox, actually. Much better organization. And we are back talking about Jordan Montgomery, part of the contract hold-up with Montgomery currently is that he is looking for a seven-year deal. And as a 31-year-old pitcher, that would carry him into his age 38 season, which can be problematic because pitchers have a tendency to wear out as they get older, and their arms can become fragile, and it can hurt their velocity and accuracy. Anyone have any thoughts on Jordan Montgomery? Leisure report says that the number one landing spot for Jordan Montgomery is going to be the Giants. The Giants. You know, they had to make a splash for agency. No one goes there anymore. Yeah, who else is on there? Actually, just signed third baseman Matt Chapman the other day. Oh, yeah. Matt Chapman. Matt Chapman. Aging legend? No, not aging. Age. Oh, age legend. All right. I was going to say, he's still, he's not up there yet, but I remember his days. He's an age legend who is now aging. Well, he's been aging for many, many years now. Probably 30 years of his life. Well, one could say it's probably speeding up a little bit. He did provide a sleeper bat last year for the Blue Jays. Not many people talked about that. Did you guys see the A's stadium? The projected stadium? Yes, A's stadium was the 30th ranked stadium, worst stadium. No, the new one, the new one. Oh, I did see the new one. 1.7 billion. It's like the whole, like, top screen. It's in Vegas. It's going to be on the strip. Yeah, I did see that. Cube? I don't know the name of it, but. Well, wait, so now they have the sphere and the cube in Vegas? No, the cube might be the soccer team stadium, but if you, I'll pull it up. So, you made me pull it up. While you're doing that, I just want to mention, I was talking about the Oakland Coliseum, which was actually ranked the 30th worst stadium for the league this year, which puts them in dead last. And on the hindsight of that, though, number one is PNC Park. I think that's a very nice stadium. I really like the backdrop, the lake, the river behind the stadium and the Golden Bridge. I think it's a very nice stadium. You know what I would put at number one in that rankings is actually not a major league stadium. It would actually be Polar Park. Oh, the Woodstock. Home of the Wooster Red Sox, home of Bobby Dahlbeck. 503 foot. 503 foot home run off a train. Yeah. Was that train in motion? The train was in motion. That's, is it an above ground trolley? I guess you could say that, yeah. That is awesome. Yeah, it runs behind the stadium. It's quite nice. Oh, if you guys could see photos right now, that stadium is amazing. That whole top is a, this is a jumbotron. Wow. I would encourage you to look up photos of the Oakland A's new stadium. 1.7 billion dollars covered on the Strip of Vegas. Looks like something in Disney. No, it's sick. They have five overlapping designs, so, and it'll show their team's penance. Alright, well. That they've won. Off that topic, and going back towards Matt Chapman, Toronto Blue Jays recently just signed Joey Votto to a one-year minor league deal. Votto, after being with the Rays since his draft in 2003. Cincinnati Reds. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The Rays. That, that slipped. Since being with Cincinnati Reds after, since being drafted in 2003. And now returning to a deal in his hometown. What do you think about that, Danny? What do you, what are your thoughts? I think it's nice. It seems to have lit a new fire under Votto that he is now starting back from the bottom. He had an interview with The Athletic the other day, as he gave them permission to follow him throughout his first day with the Blue Jays, where he said, it's a journey, that's for sure. And it's also a bit of a full circle experience for me. It's a journey? Because the way I feel right now is no different than the version of me at 18. Uncertain, completely uncertain about my future. Wanting to do my best. Wanting to work. Assuming nothing. And I think what that proves is that this is a fresh start for Joey Votto and he sees it as an opportunity to reinvent himself. Tim, I see you. Have you hand up over there? You know, it's a bit, I mean, he's the Reds. So let's go over that. No, it's not going anywhere. Ellie De La Cruz is the bright side here. But of course. No bright side in Cincinnati. Hey, Ellie De La Cruz, he's the bright side there. No, Ellie De La Cruz is. And Hunter Green. Hunter Green is very good. Young gun. I've heard Skyline Chewy is pretty good. That's Cincinnati, right? Bangles, they do have the, what is it? The Ohio River. It's behind the stadium. I didn't bring my map today. No, I'm just saying, it's a great aspect of the stadium. Wait, where? In the Reds? Behind the stadium, the Ohio River. You know those jerseys they would cut off? Are you thinking of San Francisco? That's a bay. Yeah, I've actually been there before. He was very well. No, it's here. Actually, I'll look it up. Have you seen that? Like sewage drain outside of City Field? Oh, have you seen the traffic outside of City Field? Don't even get me started. Sorry. Personally, I can't believe that they decided to put a bay next to a perfectly good baseball field. Honestly, like we could put so many parking lots on that body of water. You know which infrastructure we could build on the ocean? We could build a Walmart super center. It's the Ohio River right behind the stadium. That's a gross looking stadium. It's kind of cool. But I don't know. Joey Votto, good for him, man. He's going to try. I think he'll probably get back up there, at least for a little bit of it. But I think it's very cool. He's playing in his hometown. I'd imagine that's nearly every athlete, every professional athlete's dream at some point to play for the team that they grew up watching. John Tavares did that. Yes, he did. The Snake. Awful. Yeah. Eric Rose. Eric Rose, yes. Joey Butler, of course, drafted by the Bulls. Michael Bridges drafted to the Sixers and then immediately traded, heartbroken. Joey Votto is a consistent 200-hitter. Joey Votto had an amazing career up to this point. What do you mean by that? That's factually incorrect. Was that last season? Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. What is he now? About 39 years old, probably? 30, 40? 40. How do you think Joey Votto's limbs feel when he wakes up in the morning? Probably not good. Joey Votto lives on icy hot Nadville. Yeah, he was born in 1983 with a year of the pig in Chinese zodiac. What hospital was he born at? Winthrop. Wow. Winthrop Hospital. I hear that's one of the best hospitals around. All right. Well, you think it's time we discussed the top 100 players being we are about to start the MLB season in the next couple of weeks? Yeah, just tell me before we start. Where is Bobby Dahlbeck on that list? Bobby Dahlbeck? Number one of my heart? Not accurate on the list. Dude, what if Bobby Dahlbeck played college? I don't listen to college baseball. I was going to say. Did he actually? Pitched against Coastal in the College World Series. He pitched, too? Yeah. Wow. He does everything. All right. Well, number one on that list, obviously, last year's National League MVP, Ronald Acuna Jr., having a record-setting year last year. 70 stolen bases, 40 home runs. First one to ever do it. I don't expect those numbers again from him this year, but I still expect him to be a 35 home run guy. Maybe 60 stolen bases this year. And I give him 110, 120 RBIs with probably like a 390 batting average. Staying on the Braves. They got to get over like 101 wins this year. Yeah, for any real success after this, I think it's about their time that they go back. Blossom. Yeah, Blossom fully. I think the 2021, that was 2021 they won the World Series, right? Yep. They got to get. I don't think that was their full potential. They got to get home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Yes. And they got to knock off the Dodgers. Yeah, they got to beat the Dodgers. And then moving to number two and three, we have Yankees. We have Aaron Judge in number two, last year's American League MVP. Yes, he's going to have an amazing season. Do I want to admit it? No. Stay out of the Yankees. They have a good season this year. They got to do something. Yeah. And staying on the Yankees, Garrett Cole. Yeah, Garrett Cole, out for two months. Undergoing an MRI. Yeah, but MRI results were in. There was no tear on the ligament. They're just going to follow up with more tests and see how it goes from there. But still staying on the Yankees. 2023, they finished two games over 500. So they got to get, they got to up the win count from 82 to like mid 90s. Yeah. Maybe high 90s. Well, staying on the Yankees now. Recent addition, Juan Soto. Juan Soto. 25 years old. Feel like he's been in the league for at least 15 years now. I mean, he's definitely going to bring some light to that team as well as Alex Verdugo. He's, I think he's a good signing. But you know, Soto, he has to start getting the bat working. Anthony Volpe's a failure. That's the only thing that Juan Soto does. You're telling me. Juan Soto is known as the best hitter in baseball who struggles with defense. Yeah, he has to get the bat working with a short, short field in left. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, I mean, you have to get that going. I thought you were insinuating that he hasn't done enough in recent years. The Yankees are going to win a World Series this year. They got to get one. Yeah. No, but they're not going to. Yeah, we'll follow up on this after. Freddie Freeman. Dodgers are stacked. We have a gift over number four, Mookie Betts here. Mookie Betts, Red Sox legend. I actually met the man once. Red Sox win the weekend, 2016. Yeah, I used to be part of the Red Sox. What was it? The kids club? I think that was what it's called. The one that was ran by, what's the milk company in Boston? A milk company? Yeah, like the milk place. Like they have the buildings that are shaped like the bottle. Nobody knows. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, as we are still discussing the MLB Top 100 players list released by ESPN yesterday. So getting back to that, we left off at number four, Mookie Betts, now shortstop of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See, I think that's a really interesting one because Mookie Betts did play second base coming up. Yes, he did. He transitioned to center field with the Red Sox and then eventually to right field, but shortstop is not a position he's ever played at the professional level. Excuse me. He is also a phenomenal bowler. He is. I remember he won that tournament and he bowled the perfect game. Is that what it's called? Bowled the perfect game? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? I am Mookie Betts. He retired. Yeah, he laid his eggs in the morning. Mookie Betts, World Series MVP. Bowled the perfect game. How do you get a 192? Okay, let's change topics. Top of the Carolina. Big win yesterday. That was a big win yesterday. Huge win. One of the biggest wins I've ever seen. Bad weekend for Wake Forest. Really bad. Yeah. Andrew Koshy, he had that ball. That was right down the middle. I thought he was pitching a beach ball. That was right down the middle. Roping him off, Koshy. Yeah. Quite frankly, the bullpen had nothing to say for themselves. As they just went through reliever after reliever. If anyone on Wake Forest coaching staff hears this, they have to hire all new pitching staff. All new. Yeah. The pitching coach is no good. The one with red hair. No, he's not. He was mean to us. Actually, after you guys left and I stayed, Big Red indeed gave somebody a ball. Yeah, it was probably... William Gervais. I said... Number one. Yes. His first 15 pitches. 13 of them were balls. Oh! And then what about that other guy? Will, what was his name? William Gervais fell out of his chair briefly. Will Gervais. Got. No, no, no. 36. The other kid. Oh, that dude. He got shelled too. First pitch. That ball, maybe about two, less than a foot off from being a home run. Hitting the fence. That kid, Morningstar. Blake Morningstar. Number four, was it? 32. That's a cool baseball name, by the way. Morning... Well, that's not his Morningstar. All right. Well, while he's doing that, number five on the list, Freddie Freeman. He's a guy. You see him here regularly. Great baseball player. I've never seen Freddie Freeman at Coastal Carolina University once. On the list here. Top 100. He's number five. Well, if you want to look at it like that. Yeah. Tim, you got a sparkle in your eyes. Did we find out the nationality of Morningstar? Thinking probably like Irish. It's German. Oh, it's German. That's kind of fun. It's also, what does it also say there? My cousins played professional hockey in Germany. It's also... All right, that's enough about Morningstar. All right, number six, Corey Seager. How you doing? How you been, Corey? First ever guy to win a World Series MVP, National and American League. Way to go for Corey. I like Corey Seager a lot. Don't even get me started about him. Don't even get me started on Kyle Seager. Kyle Seager. Morningstar had a better game yesterday than all Kyle's career, and he lit up nine runs. Blake, which one's the best US dive keeper? Number seven, Garrett Cole. That's not. Okay, number seven, Garrett Cole. Out for two months. We already spoke about him. I think Garrett Cole's overrated. Also, something that we'll come to talk about later as it becomes more of a topic. There are very few pitchers on this list. There is. And then number eight, this guy, I think, is overall, he's just underrated in the league, and he's not spoken about enough, Jordan Alvarez. Had a very good, had a very, very great year last year. He had 42 home runs, 123 RBIs, 109 runs. Actually, sorry, that's his average per 162 games, which I guess you could say is a full year. You could definitely say that, but something else you could say about a full year is that he usually does not play them. Yeah, he's a great player, but he's been injury prone throughout his career. Yeah, and 27 now. He still has at least five or six years to figure it all out, get healthy, and still really be in his prime, I believe. Number nine. You can go. So I've looked up some stats here. Blake Morningstar pitched two games against Duke. Blake, two games against Duke, number six in the country. He let up no hits, no runs. He almost pitched perfect against these guys. And what, like seven pitches? Then 27 and 23. He doesn't let any hits up. So last night was, you could say, an uncommon Blake Morningstar L. No, Blake Morningstar let up one hit yesterday. He had one strikeout and one walk. Was that one hit? Then why were you being so hard on him? I wasn't. I'm a Blake Morningstar fan. Okay, dude. Calm down. I'm just a boy. Wasn't that one hit also a two run home run? No, that wasn't Morningstar. That was off of number one, William Gervais. That one got right. Ladies and gentlemen, we are incredibly educated on this podcast. We know everything about everything. Blake Morningstar went to Waisalong Valley High School in Pennsylvania. I wonder where that is. Waisalong, Pennsylvania. Who knows? Number nine, Shohei Otani. This year, after signing that $700 million deal with the Dodgers, he cannot throw. He can't throw this year. Yeah, but I think this is probably the last rating under five that Otani gets for the rest of his career. Yeah, I think realistically. Yeah, let's talk about his dog. Otani has a great dog. He named his dog eventually. Was it Nike? That's Bill Belichick. Theo Copen. What's it mean? Theo Copen. What's it mean in English? What do you mean? It doesn't mean anything. Theo Copen. Theo Copen. Look it up in English meaning. Word. It's instant. Oh no. Poor Shohei. Seems like Theo Copen. That's a weird name. I don't know. I think he's going to eventually decide he's no longer going to be pitching for the sake of his own career. And I think it'll be a DH and he'll probably hit 70 home runs once. I think that's a bunch of baloney. So many. What are we going to bring back? Steroid? I don't know what they're feeding them over there, but. In Los Angeles? You mean? Yes, they're giving them. Dude, all they eat is avocado toast. Come on. That's got to have some sort of superpowers in there. Allergic to avocado. I'm doing avocado. Are you a Corbin Carroll? I should early to put him at number 10. I found out like a couple months ago. There's no L. Are you serious? I thought it was always avocado, but it's avocado. All right. So number 10. Someone help this man. Number 10 is Corbin Carroll. I think it's too early for him to be this high. No, he had a great season. He had a great season, but what do you have? 25 home runs. I don't think 25 home runs as a rookie deserves top 10. Corbin Carroll. Diamondbacks legend. Exactly. That's exactly what he would have said. Number 11. I do agree. This guy, this guy has deserved his spot up there. Adley Rushman. Number 11. I think that's. He reminds me of Buster Posey. He tackled Christian McCaffrey in college. He was a kicker. Yeah, tackle Christian McCaffrey. Wait, wait, wait. Play. Wow. I played at Oregon, I believe. Oregon State. Yeah, same thing. Go Beavs. Go Beavis. Yeah, when they were playing Stanford. Give me a B. Give me a B. Um, no, Adley Rushman is great. And now that he's going to have. I mean, he killed it last year and he was 20 throughout the entire season. Couldn't even drink. That's true. He's living a very healthy life. He's drinking his broccoli smoothies. Does anybody know what Dartmouth's unofficial mascot is? The beer keg. Keggy the keg. Will not be recognized by school. I don't believe they have another mascot, but for an Ivy League, just let Keggy the keg live it out. Keggy the keg will be not only acknowledged, but appreciated on the hot corner. Yeah, man. Yeah, but not not encouraged because drink responsibly. Pete Rose. Don't encourage that either. He just gambled. I was fine with that. Daryl Strawberry. Did some more things. Daryl Strawberry had the locker room. Popping. Show them Miguel Cabrera. Him and Dwight Gooden. Miguel Cabrera. Yep. Didn't know. Miguel Cabrera actually got arrested once and I believe 2010 and he blew like a 1.08. I don't know if these are the topics we should discuss on this show. Josh Hamilton. Josh Hamilton. I have four hours. Go to some club. I was a huge Josh Hamilton fan when I was a kid. I hope one day he got the help he so desperately needed. Act scrolling down 44 on this year's player rankings list. Nolan Arenado. It's so yeah. What? Yeah, I'm going through now. I'm finding like names like notable names. I believe generational pitcher. If Jose Fernandez, he would have been one of the best pitchers. He would have played that. Yes, he would have. He's great. I met him at a Mets game. The guy is humongous. For him and what was his name? Ventura. Shout out D Gordon. Johnny Cueto Johnny Cueto. All he do it radio station. This is the hot corner with Danny Jake and Tim. We just were talking about Wanda Franco at the break. He's got a great season. He is in jail for 20 years into the Dominican Republic. He is not going to have any season soon. Wait, what? Wanda Franco will never be seen or heard from again. I would actually like to talk about Wanda Franco is currently all prison first team. I would first I would like to bring up now Wilson Ramos. Wow, I believe it was 2010 or 11. He was kidnapped in his home country. I forget what country it was. David Ortiz was shot. Yes, but Wilson Ramos was kidnapped and he was he was held for hostage, but he was rescued safely. Isn't this just what makes baseball America's pastime? Gossip Americans America's pastime should be football. Remember that electrician in the world? Baseball was really just first to the punch. I think the Canadian pastimes better. What's the National Sport of Canada? Moose riding across the cross. That's cool down hockey. Okay. Do you guys remember when when the electrician from I think Jerusalem struck out showing how tiny in the world baseball classic? That was fire. Have you ever seen that? He's electrician. He was a day job electrician at home in Jerusalem. I like playing the world baseball class. I like the other teams are beating up like team like I think it was Croatia with the gym teachers playing. Can't have squat in Croatia. Yeah, Croatia is a pretty good country actually. It's very beautiful. I've heard of it. Croatia. It's Detroit. Exactly the same. A lot different. Hey, as long as there's an empty lot of Hellcat parts. Welcome back on this fine Wednesday Detroit Tigers have been making moves in free agency, Miami Marlins. Whatever. I'm going to Spencer Torkelson. I think he's still there. I think he actually had a decent close the last few seasons what I thought. Okay, let's do what I thought. Let's do this. Michael Kovac. Great bird. Yes. He's got a good arm. Great. He's got the white box though, right? Think so. He got divorced today supposedly. I remember his. I will be the show card. He was pumping like 103 and I couldn't touch it. Crucial piece of the Chris sale trade Chris sale. Yeah, I went from the white box to the Red Sox in return. I actually Michael Kovac and some other fellas. I got his autograph at a the Rhode Island Paw Sox when they still played there. I believe he is referring to the rocket Red Sox. Ladies and gentlemen. Yes. Yes. Yes. Sure. Sure. Two color eyes. Yes. Yeah, that's what I'm on. Yeah. Look at his eyes. These eyes. Verlander. Verlander's got the back issue, but he's also got a what's her name? Kate Upton. Yeah. Hey, big up Justin Verlander. I'm giving a joke. Shout out Justin Verlander. And while we're on the topic, shout out to my guy Michael in the Red Sox season ticket office. If anyone from the Red Sox season ticket off, it happens to hear this promote Michael because he's been calling me once a week from since September. If I had the funds to purchase season tickets, I would do it from Michael. Me and this guy future with Ryan Gannon. That's what we call him. Are you bad from this or with us? You're bad. I'm stopping baseball. I'm not bad for city field. What happened? What was the run in the city field? The run in me and my friend Kenny. We were just hanging out. And then these two guys, the security guards thought it was us that threw our sodas off of the off of the section down on us. Those are sold in cups. That's city field. No, it is. Yeah, it was a cup. It was a sody. You sure it was a cup. Well, actually, let's get off that topic. I met just I met Matt Sheridan's wife. Let's city field new topic. I'm going to Zach Brian. Yes, big baseball fan. Nine dollars left in your bank account. He's a he's a Philly fan. Actually feel like the rock right now. Nine dollars in your pocket and a dream. Well, the rock. Have you told anybody in the rock?

I have cash to say and I'm going to probably gamble all of that tomorrow, New York Islanders and money line in Buffalo. We got Ilya Sorokin and net over 27.5 days. I'd like to remind you that gambling is not legal in the state of South Carolina. Unless you are using underdog fantasy. It's not gambling. It's fantasy. Which there are some parlay options, but it's prioritized as a fantasy app. You know, if you're first time joiner use the code the hot corner and you will get a hundred dollars in free bonus. That's so that's a complete fake advertisement. Please disregard that. What about okay? The strange Gordon, you know him? Yeah. Remember when his jersey wrapped around the other get rid of that actually. Yeah. Oh talking about that. All letters are the same size now. Yes. I actually I did a little bit about that. We're on computer. Actually got pull it up. Lake Morningstar. I want to get it coming up. I'm going to try to get in contact with him. So we're going to get on this. We're going to the show. All right. Well, we're going to get on the show. Yeah, get him on the show. But why are you talking about that? MLB has recently changed their uniforms in the upcoming season this year. The new uniforms were designed by Nike and manufactured by fanatics and this has led to many different opinions and backlash about the new uniforms coming from both players coaches and fans and to start the lettering for the for the players names in the back of the jerseys have decreased in size significantly from the previous jerseys worn by players and coaches and players have also come out with their feelings about the new material that the jerseys are made out of which is Nike Vapor Premier fabric, which uses dry fit ADV technology as an attempt to keep players cooler while playing during playing in the summer heat Nike says the new jerseys which were unveiled during last season's all-star game provide 25 more 25% more stretch and dry 28 times faster while nothing is scanned to their bodies for more than 300 players in order to get the right fit according to the MLB players must have their voice players have taken their voice to the media about the new jerseys and they're not and fanatics and Nike are not happy about what has been said player Tyler Taylor Ward of the Angels Taylor Ward looks like a while looks like a replica and it feels kind of like papery, but she said and Trey Turner has also said yes, Trey Turner. He's also said that I know everyone hates him. Wow. Look at Taylor Ward's wife. Oh my god, completely inappropriate. What if he hears this? Yeah, don't never don't never say big up to see you shot Taylor Ward. I told you this is a legend. I remember remember what was his name is Jared Walsh and Tyler Skaggs is death. I think he might have been I think he was no that hammered that was a federal for Skaggs. Yeah, that was Matt Harvey was involved. Was that are you thinking of Taylor Ward or Jared Walsh? Matt Hardy great WWE wrestler. He actually didn't play college Matt Hardy also recently got a divorce. You're divorced now. It's disturbing. Hey, I just got contact. I have my ear to the streets. I've got contact with Blake Morningstar because the show I'll be great. We'll say man Fred needs to retire if Reby Hardy happens to hear this. Give me a call. Oh Matt Hardy's ex-wife. Crazy. That's mildly inappropriate to say don't care. This is my show. I invited you to it. That's pretty. This is my I brought you into this world. I could take you out of it. It's pretty hypocritical. It's a hypocritical. It's critical. Let's get back to the baseball. Okay, give me a team. Let's go over. No, we're on the list. I have the team. You know what? I saw earlier Detroit Tigers. They got a full turnaround Detroit Tigers. Great organization. Casey Byes has a shine on the mound. He has to you know, they were cold. Keep cold. Peace Parker Meadows. Great as rookies. Great. Javi Baez. He's got to start producing for his 25 billion dollar salary. Javi Baez is washed. He is. It really is. I'll be impressed if he bats over 82 this year. Speaking of Javi Baez, shout out Chris Bryant. Yeah, I was actually thinking about Chris Bryant the other day. Wow. Wow. I haven't heard him in a while. But yeah, what's he on the Giants now?

They made moves though this year. They've been making moves. Where? Who? I don't remember exactly who, but yeah, look it up. Look it up. They're projected to have a very good season. No, they're not. They're projected 80 wins. No. What do you mean no? I'm looking at it. No. No. Again, another team, the Rockies. It's going to be a rough year for all the Rockie fans. Usually is.
