Hello and welcome. It's our number one as we begin a Friday edition of the podcast

and the first order of business is to tell you about the fifth hour podcast, a shameless

promotion for that, which you can hear on this same podcast channel, although the fifth hour

has its own podcast channel.

It's a spinoff of this show.

We do it only on the podcast format.

You can't hear it on Terrestrial Radio,

and it is available for you to download.

And we are scheduled to have on our Friday podcast,

someone we've been trying to get on the show for over a year, a Super Bowl

winning head coach is supposed to join us on the fifth hour podcast today.

We'll find out whether or not he shows up when pigs fly.

As for this hour one is the Shohei Otani arm injury catastrophic for the game of baseball?

The reporting on this is over the top.

Also, is there a path for Shohei Otani to get a record-breaking contract despite his bum elbow?

And do Atlanta fans care about Marcelo Zuna and his shady history as the Braves are running away with everything

in the National League East.

And what is the lesson from Stephen Strasbourg's career coming to an end?

We'll talk about all of that and more right now.

Here it is.

Our number one.

Clutching the baseball-shaped pearls.
