It is Wednesday, May 20th, 2026.

This is another edition to baseball today. Presented you by T-Mobile. That is my man, Trevor Pluth. I am Chris Rose, producer Dan along for the ride as well. First of all, can we get to the good stuff? You told me that Nick Ponto finally got back to you? He did. Let me get the tech stuff. And for people that didn't listen to yesterday's episode, I said, you know, there's some guys big names in that lineup struggling and Nick Punta's

What did I say? No, just people don't know where Nick Pooner. Sure, Nick Pundo coach on the

This is Sox third base coach, Chad Epperson. And who's there to greet him? That is his son, Drew, who actually works in the Royal Scouting Department. They put him in uni, let him exchange lineup cards with the old man. Brought a tear to my eye, dude. I mean, I agree. You and I are both suckers for stuff like this. You know, I throw batting practice to Teddy and I start tearing up. I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so

proud of you. This is awesome. We've seen stuff like this happened with a dusty baker this

happened with. It's just it's so fun. You grow up following dad's footsteps, having success
