Hello and welcome to On the Corner, the official podcast, pitchless.com.

I'm your host, Eric Smolski, joined by Nick Pollock on a speed round of our podcast today.

That is right.

What is happening, everybody?

And we've got all these pictures to talk about.

And let's go.

I'm actually going to say, let's just jump in.

Who do we got, Eric? We got the Baltimore Orioles to start it off. They have three games at home against the athletics this weekend, three at home against the Yankees next week, and then three on the road at Washington. It's a two-start week for Trevor Rogers, presuming he's back in the rotation. That's Yankees and nationals.

My question to you, Kyle Braddish, are you dropping him?

Are you starting him against the Yankees?

Are you just holding him on your bench?

Okay.

So when it comes to a lot of these guys, I'm just going to tell you right now, I'm starting to realize we're at the point that these guys who are command focused, or at least have not

found their command, and we cannot trust them to actually throw strikes consistently.

We got to move on.

So we're going to talk about Erie Perez.

We're going to talk about maybe some, a little bit of Alcantara, we're going to talk about

Bradish.

We're going to talk about Bubba. We're going to talk about maybe McKenzie Gore in there. These guys, it's just you got to make a bad drop at some point. And it's probably going to be at least two of those are really going to figure it out and be great. But two of them might not. And if you have value now that is on the wire that would help you, I'm going to always say value now is way more valuable than value later. So I'm going to start Braddish against the athletics in Baltimore.

Sure.

And because that's on Friday.

But then the Yankees is just, if I don't see like significant improvements there, then I'm like, yeah, I can't, I can't keep holding on to this.
