Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Morning Grind podcast. I'm your host, TV at TPFL. It is Tuesday, August 26. It is 20, 25. We have a 12-game MLB slate to talk about here on today's podcast. It's an interesting slate.

So I was looking at it for the last 30 minutes or so. I haven't done my normal full research for the slate, but I thought the slate was

interesting.

The pitching that we have, the options that we have pitching-wise are all interesting.

So really interested to, I mean, how many times I'm going to say interest?

I really interested on like breaking down this slate and kind of seeing what my final thoughts are.

So appreciate everyone for being here.

I know I talked about doing more podcasts last week and I wanted to.

And man, I have to get used to this new schedule that I have.

Because even tonight, like, I seriously, like, debated on, am I going to do the podcast tonight?

Because I, um, I coached for seven hours today, um, between high school and club.

So just flat out exhausted when I got home.

But eight felt better.

And, um, hey, shocking that like when you eat something for the first time in

eight hours, going nonstop, that you feel a little bit better.

Right.

So I decided that, yeah, it'd be fun to jump on and talk about the slate.

So I'm here and we're going to break it down and have some fun so let's get started game by game like always and like I said

bunch of the games so a lot to talk about Washington at New York facing the Yankees, eight and a half total in this game,

Yankees, a 180 favorite heel against Gore in this one.

I mean, starting right off the bat, we have McKenzie Gore, who has shown plenty of ceiling all season long.

Upside has been there.
