Good morning guys how are you? That's up Mike. Good early on the show we were talking about your starting room. Good.

Early in the show we were talking about your starting rotation.

Did you expect this kind of production from your starters this year?

Outside of Corbin, the other four guys have been pretty damn good.

Yeah, well we were we were expecting and hoping that they take another progression in their you know in their development and I think all of them have, you know, I think that you look at the amount of work that Hickey and do little and and Sam Merin

that our fishing quarter down in the minor leagues is done.

I think that you know you could see the

building and the momentum of getting these young starting pitchers, you know, ready for the big leagues and once they get to the big leagues, improving at the big league level.

So, you know, you've got guys with good stuff but also guys that

have learned secondary stuff and employees and and they're commanding the baseball
