It is Monday, March 23rd, 2026. This is opening week Monday edition of baseball today.

That is my man, Trevor Plouf. I am Chris Rose, producer Dan along for the ride as well as we have

finally made it here. We got baseball coming your way in like 48-ish hours. Are you ready?

I am ready. Peeling back the curtain a little bit for people chris i'm like getting my

bearings on major league baseball again after the w bc i was so locked in on that the baseball was so

freaking good we were on such a high uh that i'm like i'm scouring the reports for storylines and

who's made it who didn't make. And I think that's what we're

going to get to a lot today. So that's going to help me out. Yeah. Well, one storyline, I'm busting out

the hats from the grapefruit and the Cactus League, courtesy of my buddy Dave Eichinger. Shout out,

go get them. They look great. But that means I have to bend 30 new bills, which I am horrible at. And people kill me in

the comments. And Rose, how do you cover baseball for as many years as you have and still don't

know how to bend it? So can you give me like the 30 second refresher course? Number one,

I'm at seven and a. So Dave, uh, whatever you want. Oh, you got a little peanut head, huh?

I know people will say that, but it's a seven and a quarter or an eighth.

Big brain, smaller head.

It's my summer cuts of seven and eight, though.

I told you all you got to do.

First of all, I don't think they look that bad, but you just got to take the inside here.

Take the piece is closer to the middle of the hat and just

That's it then you get the rounded you you're no you're no no it's pinch it together see how those go together

Oh like this there you go and you get the round you're worried about the point in the middle

ah okay round okay hopefully that worked let me see better oh wow why can't you do that
