00:00All right. You know, the Yankees, you know, playing back at home.
00:03I mean, maybe it's time to get going again.
00:05I mean, the first week of the season, you would have thought this is the best Yankees team ever.
00:09They're kind of up against it here.
00:10I mean, Jordan Hicks, the Giants, not a bad five-inning pitcher.
00:13Logan Webb, Carlos Rodon, Rodon not good last time out.
00:17So, look, we'll see how this goes.
00:19I think there'll be a lot of eyes on this series this weekend.
00:21Giants don't play the Yankees that often, of course, because they do play interleague,
00:25but they don't visit the Bronx all that often.
00:28I think it's the first time in four or five years.
00:30So, we'll see what happens with the series playing out.
00:33But I think Sunday is probably the more key matchup.
00:35The Yankees are going to want to see Rodon pitch better.
00:38I think you're being kind.
00:39Rodon's had two bad outings.
00:40That ERA is well above five right now.
00:43So, we'll see what happens.
00:44The strikeouts have been there.
00:45The walks have been too many so far.
00:48So, he needs to get back on track, but not some great weather today.
00:51Another rainy, crappy day out there.
00:53So, Hicks is more of a five-inning starter.
00:55Will Warren, patchwork.
00:56Carl's Rodon needs to get right here.
00:58But, again, Sunday matchup, that's a tough one.
01:01Logan Webb is very good.
01:02That ballpark is still Little League field.
01:04So, of course, anything can happen.
01:06But Rodon really needs to step in that void.
01:08Freed's been great in that stead.
01:10For Garrett Cole's not there anymore, but they need more than him.
01:14They do.
01:15All right.
01:15Mets at the A's this weekend.
01:17The A's haven't announced a starter today, but David Peterson will start for New York.
01:21And then on Sunday, it's Kodai Senga against Luis Severino.
01:24I expect the Mets to score a lot of runs, Joe.
01:26Will the A's be able to do this on the Mets pitchers?
01:29You know, if you're looking at the ERAs, no.
01:32Mets are the best team ERA in baseball, best bullpen ERA in baseball, too.
01:35I'm still worried about Edwin Diaz.
01:36He has not looked like the same pitcher since he hurt his knee in the WBC.
01:40I think they need to get some more relief help.
01:42And don't be shocked if they don't go out there and do it.
01:44But, yes, Peterson, solid Senga when that ghost fork is really working.
01:48And it was that last start as he continued on.
01:51I think a very good start for him.
01:52And I think the Mets are very happy to get out of cold New York and get to Sacramento.
01:57It's cold there, too, Joe.
01:58Got news for you.
01:59It's in the 50s.
02:00Not as cold as New York.
02:01I can tell you that this morning.
02:04I don't want to check that.
02:05I don't want to check that, Sam.
02:06Oh, no.
02:07I saw it snowing there.
02:08Yeah, you're right.
02:08It can't be.
02:10It's cold.
02:11It's cold and it's raining here.
02:12But Sacramento, too.
02:14Check Sacramento right now.
02:1560.
02:16Oh, I think it's in the 50s there.
02:18I'm going to guess.
02:19All right.
02:19Blue Jays at the Orioles.
02:21My gosh.
02:22Are we really here already in this season?
02:23Orioles have Cade, Povich, and then a TBD on Sunday.
02:28Jose Barrio starts for Toronto.
02:31Well, Easton Lucas was good, right?
02:33Last time out.
02:34Oh, maybe they're onto something here with him.
02:36Yes, he was.
02:37He was pretty good.
02:38Here's the bigger problem.
02:39In the injury list we just did in the last segment, we missed Zach Eflin, right?
02:43With a lat strain.
02:44We know that's going to be a long time.
02:46When you go into the season with Zach Eflin being your number one starter, you are asking
02:51for problems.
02:51And Grayson Rodriguez is a great young talent, but it was too much to put on a kid who has
02:55never thrown 185 innings, 190 innings of the season.
02:58And now you're looking at Dean Kramer.
03:00You're looking at Charlie Morton, Cade Povich, Sagano.
03:03This is a hot mess for the Orioles.
03:05And I keep harping on it because it's true.
03:06And they dropped the ball this offseason.
