0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred thirteen of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, July 17th, 2025. It is the day before
0:26.7	Rookies report for 2025 Commander's Training Camp. This is the last day of the offseason until
0:34.7	Commander's Training Camp gets going. Nice to be back with you of some
0:38.5	vacation days for me. I hope you're enjoying the MLB All-Star break. Hope you enjoyed the MLB All-Star
0:44.3	Week festivities at the Atlanta Braves Truest Park in recent days. Nationals left-fielder James Wood,
0:51.1	unfortunately, was eliminated in the first round of the home run derby on Monday night. And then went 0 for 1 as a pinch hitter for the National League in the All-Star game on Tuesday night. But Nat's Ace, McKenzie Gore, he in the All-Star game tossed a perfect top of the fit on just nine pitches. Outstanding. Orioles first baseman slash outfielder Ryan O'Hern. He is the American League starting DH and number six batter. We had 0 for two in the All-Star game, which was decided on a swing-off, a home run derby, to break a six-all tie. The National League won the swing off. I enjoyed the swing off. No need for extra innings in an all-Star game. And I enjoyed the players wearing their team uniforms, as opposed to wearing generic
1:34.5	All-Star uniforms, which had been the case in recent years.
1:38.4	Seeing the players in their team uniforms so much better than seeing the players in the generic
1:44.1	All-Star uniforms. Here's my biggest
1:46.0	complaint about this year's MLB All-Star Week. ESPN's split-screen usage for the home run
1:52.8	derby has got to go, or at least be drastically lessened. But you when watching a guy take his
1:59.6	hacks in the home run derby do not at all get a sense for his homers because of the split screen.
2:05.9	James Wood on Monday night hit 16 home runs.
2:08.8	I wanted to enjoy each of James Woods 16 homers, but I could not enjoy each of James Woods 16 homers.
2:16.2	I felt like we didn't see any of James Woods 16 homers.
2:19.3	Thanks to the split screen. No more split screen, please. This to me, classic example of television
2:27.0	people overthinking things. Hello and welcome to this Thursday installment of the Al Galdi
2:32.3	podcast. Coming up later in the show, discussion of what the
2:35.6	Nationals and Orioles did in the now completed 2025 M.LB draft is we now have appropriate context on some
2:43.1	things, including why I'm a big fan of what the Nads did in this draft and why theos spent their
2:49.4	first two of four first round picks on catchers.
2:52.5	But next segment, a supersized commanders segment.
