| 0:16.4 | Seattle Times, Adam Jude, joining us now in the Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook hotline. |
| 0:20.9 | Adam, I'm seeing, first of all, I have to ask you about catching a bullpen from Andres, |
| 0:25.3 | but before I do that, I'm seeing what looks like a lot of people at spring training. |
| 0:30.4 | What would you say is the fan sentiment and excitement level around this team right now? |
