Like the Texas Rangers finally won a World Series a couple of years ago, and Tiki still hasn't seen the second of that World Series. Did anyone? Why would I go back and watch it? So, unfortunately... Jacob didn't even pitch. I know. Unfortunately for Seattle and San Diego and Milwaukee, three franchises that have never won a championship, it doesn't do it for any of us. Would people care if it was Padres versus the Yankees?

Like if you had a team that's won a ton versus the team that's ever won, would that enhance the interest in it? No, just Yankee fans because they'd be in the World Series. The Yankees could play a Pop Warner team. We'd be all excited. Yankees Brewers would work that way. But no, I think that, unfortunately, the nation wouldn't be drawn to teams that haven't won that just, like the Mariners.

The Mariners haven't even drawn to teams that haven't won that just, like, the Mariners.

The Mariners haven't even been to a World Series.

I know. Like, the Padres have been to one. The Brewers have been to one, even if it was a long time ago. The Mariners have never been to a World Series, which is kind of crazy. Griffey and the Big Moose. Real quickly, though, if the Brewers made it, would anybody outside of Joe B be angry that the brewers made it without David Stearns?

Well. real quickly, though, if the Brewers made it, would anybody outside of Joe B be angry that the Brewers made it without David Stearns? What? David Stearns, leaves, goes to the Mets, and now the Brewers make a World Series. Would that rub Med fans the wrong way? Not at all. The man from Milwaukee. Okay. I guess you could ask me in two weeks or four weeks, whatever it is. I think you'll get that.

All right.

Thanks for that.

Let's go to Gilbert in Pennsylvania.

What's up, Gilbert?

Hey, how you doing?

First time, a long time.

I appreciate it. So this idea that you had about platooning pitches, I think, is phenomenal.

I think pitchers towards the tail end of their major league careers who might not be able to go full seven or six might think about not retiring being that they only might be able to pitch four strong innings.

It might work out good.

And I wanted to ask is if this idea, let's say, goes through, do you you maybe can you pick up more starting pitchers

and leave off less leave off um um leaving yeah also dude i've thought this through so to get in the weeds

on it the way i would execute this is that have two different tag teams okay so in the met's case

i use the guys that are currently here sangatang mania, Mania Holmes, and then three regular starting pitchers. And if those tag teams are not throwing 80, 90 pitches each, I could... So how many is that? So that's four, that's seven. So that's seven. That is eight. No, you said three started. That's seven, correct, yes. Sorry, I got the math run. That's seven. Where's my math? Which would leave six bullpen arms during the normal season. Which, by the way, it's fine because two of those games, you're probably not using much of your bullpen FAA. Just like last night, you're not using the bullpen at all. Yeah. Or if you are using your bullpen, maybe it's an inning from your closer.

Yes.

So I could see doing it.

You can't do it with your entire rotation because that's just too many. Now you're 10 of your 13 pitchers of starters, so you can't do that. Unless you've got these guys that are really, they basically do the same thing every day. Right. As soon as the starter goes, it has to leave the game,
