It's Thursday, February 27th.

Derek and Riper, Inoceros, Trevor May, all here with you on this episode.

We're going to take a look at some new pitches that have been introduced this spring.

We've got some interesting research that's been done on the value of veteran or starting pitchers going deeper into games.

We'll talk about that, impact that has on several teams that have been maybe leaning more heavily on their starters.

We always have the veteran presence versus veteran presence question.

That's going to be talked about a little bit today as well.

And of course, if you've been watching games, you've noticed that ABS is in play this spring.

So we'll talk about some of the early feedback on the ABS system getting some usage at the Major League level here this spring.

Some news and notes as we get started today, gentlemen, Kyle Finnegan is back with the Nationals right on time.

We had our NL East preview a couple of days ago, talked about the other options in the

bullpen that might emerge to get saves, and within hours, Kyle Finnegan reunited with the

Nationals for a slightly discounted price compared to what he would have made if they hadn't tendered him a few months back.

So fun on the business side.

But as far as the Nats bullpen goes, do you just pencil him in as their clothes are going to, you know, is Kyle Finnegan 25 saves going right down on your spreadsheet?
