| 0:06.2 | It's Dan Dickerson's call. I'll have Dan on the show on Friday when we're partying downtown for opening day. |
| 0:13.0 | John, takeaways from the game yesterday. Everybody fixates on Jackson Job. It's a mixed bag. I thought right off the gate. |
| 0:20.2 | Justin Henry Malloy back on the team and he's leading off. He has two walks. He has two hits. |
