Now, here are your hosts, Michael Bumpus and Stacey Ross.

One of our favorites and yours, Pitching Ninja, aka Rob Friedman,

joining us right now on the Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook Hotline. Rob, how's it going? Happy opening day, by the way. I know. It's great. We're finally getting real baseball. Yeah. And many months of it, which is the absolute best. Expectations have never been higher, at least in my own lifetime for the Seattle Mariners.

It's a very cool place to be.

And I feel like most of that, it's so fitting we're talking to you.

While enough of it is about Julio and Cal and your lineup, and that's really exciting.

We're also all hoping that that rotation starts to look a little more like 24 than it did in 25.

I'll start with, because you love pitchers.

What do you love about this rotation?

I mean, just the way they can attack hitters and the amount of nasty stuff,

like these guys all feed off each other.

They're like almost like one unit, like a pack of wolves trying to attack something. So I really like the personalities and I like their approaches. Hey, Stacy and I were trying to figure out who the opening day starter should be. You got four or five guys you can choose from. I was going with Brian Wu. They went with Logan Gilbert. What do you make of that decision? You know, it could have got. I would have been between those two.

I mean, Logan Gilbert, to me, actually either him, Brian Wood, George Kurt.

They, you have a choice that could, they could all be Cy Young winners.

Gilbert's really good at setting the tone, that angry face, the nasty stuff.

Nobody wants to face that guy on opening day.

Whose pitch has been one, including the bullpen as well,

where you replayed it a million times,

like you were maybe most in awe of that one?
