Get to the freaking auto! From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Rock Ewerd is my hero. James Cuter just punched me in the kidney. We're going to excuse you what I'm going to. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. Now here are your hosts, Brock Eward and Mike Salk. Hello! Yeah, we're not wasting any time here in Peoria, Brock. I already talked to Brendan Donovan. That was a wow. I mean, just a wow, 25 minutes. That's a turd dog. That's a dude. That's like every pitch, the seam of the ball, the flight of this. Yeah, I mean, you got deep and you got to learn about that. It was great. I really enjoyed that. If you missed any of it, you can find it on our YouTube page, Seattle Sports on YouTube. But we'll go right from the third baseman, a little bit of second base, occasional corner outfielder, utility guy who learned his trade from Jose Okindo, one of the great utility players of all time, to Dan Wilson, the skipper of this group. Good morning, Dan. How are you?

Oh, hold on. There we go. Oh, yeah. Good morning. Way back? There we go. Well, good morning, gentlemen. It's great to have you down here. It's exciting to be down here. You're watching olympics the last few days oh yeah it's been it's been fantastic yesterday was was quite the
