All right, finally, John Carlos Stan apparently in a meaningless spring training game.

0:07.7

Yep.

0:08.3

Hit not one, but two home runs earlier today.

0:11.9

When I walked into work today and we were having our pre-show meeting, about 20 minutes into the meeting,

0:18.7

Big Mac said to me and to Pete and to Gallo,

0:23.0

I can't believe we've been sitting here for 20 minutes talking about what's on the show today,

0:28.6

and not one of you have mentioned that Stanton, who can't open a bag of chips,

0:34.8

can't open a bottle of water. Hit two home runs today.

0:38.7

Yes.

0:39.1

The floor is yours, sir.

And he has had a really good spring.

1:47.2

He is hitting the ball all over the place.

1:49.2

I think he feels fantastic.

1:51.3

And I'll tell you this.
