Hello and welcome to the In The Penn Podcast, part of the Pitchelous Podcast Network.

I'm Nate Kosher filling in for Jake Crumpley this week.

And we are excited to have a great episode lined up.

We have a special guest with us tonight, and that is Doug Dennis.

He is a writer for Baseball H.Q.

So, Doug, welcome to the show.

Tell us a little bit what you do over at Baseball HQ.

Yeah, thanks for having me on.

I write a weekly bullpen column for Baseball HQ.

I've been doing that for almost 25 years now, so I've been around a long time.

Sometimes maybe people think too long.

I don't know, but glad to be here.

Thank you.

And then, of course, we have Rick Graham, who is regularly on the pod.

Rick, how are you doing tonight?

I'm doing great.

Thank you, Nate, for having, you know, taking Jake's place tonight.

He's a little under the weather.

So appreciate you stepping in here.

Yeah, it's, you know, a lot of bullpen news, of course, as we lead up to, you know, opening day in one week from now.

Yes, definitely an exciting time.

And, of course, we actually do have some games in the books, official record
