Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Morning Grind podcast. I'm your host, Stevie TPPFL. It's Tuesday. It's May 5th, and it's 2026. We have a 10-game MLB slate to talk about here on today's podcast. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

I'm excited to jump back in the baseball streets after a nice weekend off.

Um,

you know,

really focusing on NASCAR,

took Monday off.

Um,

it was just a crazy day,

like nonstop,

like just one of those days.

Like Monday is like,

the only day of the week that I have off.

So it was just a crazy day.

So it was nice to kind of reset the mental motor after a good NASCAR weekend and get ready to jump back into these baseball streets pitching.

Really interesting on today's slate. I think that we have some high-end

options i think the mid-tier and low like low tier is like um very interesting so um yeah i love a lot

to talk about when it comes to pitching i think there's a lot of hitters on this slate that I'm going to like for first look. So what's up chat? Derek says, what is strapped to your mic? It's Raqqaza, Pokemon. My son put it on my mic. And, yeah, let me ride. Rikwaza is one of my favorite Pokemon. And he, like, Dad, you you should wrap it around your mic and he put it on my mic. And I thought for a six year old, first of all, not like pull out my cord and like break my mic and, um, actually get it on there pretty good, um, that I'd leave it for a little while. It did. I was doing the NASCAR show on night and it like it almost came down so i don't know

if it'll last the whole show today um i don't know how long it will last but um because it's like

right in my line of like looking at one of like on the left side of my screen but yeah so

hopefully everyone had a great weekend let's jump in and talk about these 10 games that we

have for today we got uh texas at new york eight and a half total in this game jacob de graham

elmer rodriguez facing off against each other in this one um very interesting like spot for de graham obviously like anytime jacob de graham is pitching
