| 0:20.8 | Hotline. Hey, Daniel, how's it going? I'm good, although it's been a little bit cold up here, |
| 0:27.0 | especially in the press box this opening week. Kind of wild given that the temperatures were |
| 0:32.7 | essentially cut in half from the 105 we were dealing with down in Arizona. But it's good to get the season |
| 0:39.1 | rolling and excited, even if it's a tad bit chillier than expected. You know what? I will say, |

| 1:46.3 | and more at ease as well without the pressure of the regular season. And we've seen in years |
| 1:52.4 | past, like that's when they've been able to get things done was in the spring training period. |
