Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. Special guest Jerry Blevind is here. We're

talking relievers athletes only today. Let's do it.

Hello and welcome back to Talking Baseball live from the Draftking Studio in the Bronx,

the Boogie Down Bronx. Jerry Blevind is here. We are mere feet from each other. It is nice.

First time meeting in person. That's true. You're way more handsome in person. That's setting the bar really high. That's everyone's natural reaction. I was lucky to catch you on a Wednesday. So I was swaggering out. King BBD in the corner and getting nasty and Calabassy is Trevor Ploof. Trevor, how are you doing on this fine, fine Wednesday?

Jacob Jerry BBD in the chat. My people is going on. I heard you look like Carrie Strug. Someone put that out there on Twitter. That's good. That is good.

Like if you just cut out like the face right there, you don't get to the head. Well, you have like the outfit as well.

That is a gymnastics outfit. That was David Fuller team later. The full opening ceremonies. Get up for Team USA in 92.

We'll get we'll get our department. We'll put full effort into that. What's up, Travis?

You know, great day so far. It was raining all day yesterday. So that's some cleanup this morning. You guys know how that goes. I'm getting rid of my go for is I had like a real go for guy come in.

Like a real go for guy. So I'm pray for the go first. That's all I'm going to say. They might be going by by prayers in the chat.

Jerry, how are you? I flew in today. Today. Beautiful. I did the opposite. It was raining all day yesterday. Took the kids to the zoo in Toledo Ohio for the light show. It was awesome. I've been there.

It's a lovely museum. I have to have to admit we're like right between Columbus Zoo and Toledo Zoo and we do both. But the lights until we don't were wonderful. So I'm here without a Detroit today. Happy to be here. Bugi down Bronx.

We're excited. We're excited to have you here. Shae station is rolling you and Jolly Olive. And the match were one of the few teams. I shouldn't say one of the few teams. There's a lot of fun teams that were having fun before the lockout kind of kicked in.

Especially. Low Smeats with Scherzer and I mean, I guess there's still stuff to talk about because they're coming down to their final.

Final three, right? That's what Jolly and I are just waiting on. It's like it went from classic Metzzi as Metzzi as it gets.

To you know, there's they don't have a GM looking for a president baseball ops. You know, all those leaks to where people are like man still classic Metz and then you know we get a GM in line. And we make huge, huge signings and now we're about to hire a manager.

Things are looking up and and Queen. So it's nice at least to be able to talk about it in a positive, you know viewpoint for an organization. And man, I think when I it's already been discussed a little bit.

But like when it's all actually there could be a little 30 for 30 on like I don't want to say the Metz cornering Scherzer because you know he signed the big deal. But with the labor negotiations coming up and Scherzer standing there like Uncle Steve.

Coming in and having the biggest wallet like. I think it was actually like high level stuff by the Metzzi. You know I joke around with Metzzi as a Betsy but like they kind of won the game.

Like they forced Max his hand a little bit by paying him a ton of money that he also deserves.

Yeah, I don't want to force it. I'm a bit of Yankees fan. They did nothing and I'm bored.
