Welcome to episode number 151 of the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of John Boy Media,

and presented to you by our friends over at Seatkeek. And today, joining us, a guy who is

gearing up for October. He is one of the key bullpen pieces of the AL West champion Houston Astros.

Ryan Stannock. Hello, Ryan. How are you? I'm good, man. How are you?

How are you? Great. Most people probably make the mistake and call you Ryan, don't they?

Honestly, I get that a lot. I don't ever hear a difference. Like, whenever people call me Ryan or

Ryan, I, like, I've heard both so much that I just, I don't even, like, notice that there's, like, a difference being said 90% of the time, unless somebody really makes, like, a Ryan kind of emphasis on it.

Which is what I tried to do, because I wanted to introduce you as Rhine.

Is that annoying?

No, I mean, it's whatever.

It doesn't bother me.

I'm used to it.

Well, let everybody know why you're named Rhine.

Yeah, it's kind of an interesting one, I guess, to just baseball people, because I grew up in St. Louis. My family was Cardinal fans.

But my dad loved the way Ryan Sandberg played, and they liked the way his name was spelled.

They liked the name. So, yeah. If you grow up in St. Louis, don't you get kicked out of the city

if you name your son after one of the most famous Chicago Cubs?

I feel like it is a bit blasphemous, but I mean, he's a Hall of Famer, so I mean, I guess like there might be a little slack there, maybe, like a little.

Yeah, I'm not buying it.

I don't know.

I got to be honest with you.

Like, I'm from Cleveland, right?
