What's going on, everybody? Good morning. What a do? Wow. It's not only good, it's a great morning.

It's a crochet day. And game one of the playoffs, the Boston Red Sox there for the first time since

2021. Curtis, I can't wait. Let's, I wish we could get it started right now. Let's play three. Right? Why not? It does feel great. It's going to be a great day for baseball. There'll be, what, three games this afternoon, two games this afternoon. Yes. And then the Sox Yankees 608 right here on the EI. And I am, it's just so fun. I enjoy it. People say I hate everything.

I certainly do not hate playoff baseball.

Well, the Giolyto news was like a kick in the nuts yesterday.

But I'm trying to ignore that.

And, well, you get through this series and then maybe you get him back.

It didn't sound that serious.

Like it sounded like it was more of a

overuse of the elbow kind of thing as opposed to any kind of a tear or any kind of a ligament thing

to make, the way in which Shalach's core I described it anyway yesterday.

I mean, well, whatever it is, he's not pitching and that's not good for the Red Sox. Even more importance on tonight's game, because you're going to need Crochet to get you game one, and then you'll figure out either game two or game three to advance. But I love Crochet tonight. I've been all over the map, but I woke up this morning, and I just, I had a, I manifested three strikeouts of Aaron Judge. Right. Yeah, you're going to need, you're going to need him, like Curtis said, which he should be solid. Bayo, you get for game too, and then you won't need, hopefully you won't need Gialito. And then is, that's a bold take, by the way, that they're going to grab the first two but i'm with you

i am with you i hope that's the way it goes right i isn't that the expectations because if you

don't then what's your plan heading into game well it sounds like it's connolly early uh it sounded

a little bit like when you

when you listen to Alex Corey yesterday. I'm a bit more worried than you are because, I mean,

calling it an elbow injury, like I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts longer than just the

wild card. Like I don't necessarily know if it's overuse and that worries me a lot.

When the news broke yesterday,

I think that that is besides crochet, you know, you're talking worst case scenario. But I wonder if it was like, let's say it was the regular season, would he go to the IL

or would they just say, all right, you're going to miss a start, and then you'll be ready to go your next one?

So I guess that becomes the question
