Hello and welcome to the In The Pen podcast, a podcast about relievers, part of the

pitcherless podcast network.

My name is Jake Crumpler, and as always, I'm joined by pitcherless bullpen expert, Rick Graham.

Rick, we were just talking about him, but how are you doing? And what's your take on the fanatics

jerseys slash pants situation? It's, um, it's gotten to a point where it's just, I don't

understand how it started off of, okay, the uniforms are like the back of the uniforms. All right,

the names are a little small.

Like, all right, that's bad.

It's not great, but you know, okay.

And now, you know, with the pants, it's just, all right, we need to complete overall here,

I think.

There's so a way they can go into the season with these see-through pants.

I don't understand how a company like Fanatics and Nike, how this happened, but this is, like,

there's no sort of, they didn't, no one tried on these pants.

They're like, oh, you know what, you can actually kind of see through those. Like, it never happened before they shipped them out to every team.

Yeah, it's wild.

I did not expect it to get much worse after the,

you know, names on the back where we're super small and everything. But then like, it just,

it just continued to get worse. Not like, not only are, does it look different on the back,

but they look really cheap too. And then you have the fact that they actually are cheaper because

they're not stitched.

They're all like pressed on there too.
