1:00.0	go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Go, go, go, go make the
1:03.4	the
1:18.7	tight slider, or I guess probably a curve, he throws a 94 mile an hour fastball, which
1:27.5	is really bringing it, and then he throws a 93, and then he throws a 92, and then he
1:34.0	throws a absolutely vintage Tim Linsigan split slash changeup. Strikes out, Katsai, there's
1:43.3	every reason to not take this too seriously. Most of the words that I've used, for
1:48.4	instance, came after I said, Mark Katsai, at which point you might have stopped
1:54.2	listening, and of course it's spring training. The fact that it was Katsai made me take

2:23.7	maybe a year ago, and it was like, you know, Siyoshi Nishiyoka, and like Sean Figgins. I
2:29.2	mean, there was like a long list of players you could vote for, and one of the
2:32.6	players was Mark Katsai, and the commenters just were furious at me. It was like, there
2:39.5	were like a dozen comments, and 10 or 11 of them were anger at me, including Mark Katsai,
2:47.4	which seems weird, because Mark Katsai might be the worst player in baseball. I mean, it's
2:51.2	shocking.
2:52.2	How would you put the results for Mark Katsai?
