Hey everyone, in this episode, Jeff and I talk about

Shoheo Tani's platoon splits and likelihood of starting against left-hand pitchers.

Just so you know, he did start against a lefty on Wednesday night.

He went one for two off him, ended up going one for three with a walk on the night,

was also picked off once by his former teammate Chris Martin.

Could have been two for three if not for a nice play by Matt Bush.

We also talked before a couple of baseballs.

It was a violent day in baseball, but we will have to get to that next time.

So now on with the episode.

They say what's happening, we say the facts and then they lie.

We come and laugh when they might say that they don't know.

But I don't do either of those things.
