Found Territory host Scott Braun joining us now in the Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook Hotline.

Scott, how's it going?

Michael and Stacey, I am great.

And, you know, we had Ryan Davis on our show yesterday to kick off opening day.

And he said he's covered the team for about 20 years and the vibes are at an all-time high heading into this season.

Is it true?

So as someone who's lived here technically during the really cool Griffey years,

I didn't experience it as an adult.

I was young.

So for me, it's so surreal that we were talking with guests earlier,

and I was just saying stuff like, well, what do games mean in April?

But for me, I found myself going like, well, what does pressure do?

Does it matter?

So these are the kinds of questions I'll have for you as a heads up. Oh, bring it. I'm excited about it. It's amazing what a little bit of action will do. I don't think anybody doubted that they could put together a core, one of the top farm system, the pitching staff we've talked about for years, but you do have to top it off. And I think that's something that some teams struggle with, and sometimes it can be blamed

on front office moves, and sometimes it can be blamed above the front office to ownership.

So in this case, I think Seattle got a taste last year where Josh Naylor was a one man

wrecking through.
