Welcome to Rates at Beryl, it's Friday, February 26th, Derek Van Riper,

Bridger-Roll at Enosaris, here with you on this Friday, on this episode.

We discuss whether or not it matters to be in the best shape of your life at the beginning

of spring training.

Of course, we're seeing all of the best shape of his life stories rolling in this week. We have Spencer Torkelson joining the

Weird Injury Club. We'll talk about how he injured himself. We'll say goodbye to Kevin Mather.

We will also take a look at a question about four-man rotations from Oren, kind of going back in time

a little bit there. Also had a few follow-ups, one suggesting that we have an original Ben Zobrist to talk about. So we'll get to that later on in this episode as well. Britt, how's it going for you on this Friday? Oh, it's going well. It's going well. It's nice to see you guys. It's nice to be Friday. This time next week, guys, I will be in Florida.

Hmm. It's exciting. I'm jealous.

I'm jealous. Yeah. How's your Friday going so far, you know? Oh, it's good. I was on a,

I was just thinking about this. I may have mental problems. I was on a podcast last night or yesterday afternoon, the Autobot, AutoNew podcast, and I slipped

into announcer voice, which anybody listening to this knows I have the old-timey announcer voice.

And I slipped into it and back out of it.

And then somebody on the podcast said, what was that voice?

And I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

So I just did it for a little bit without even thinking about it.

So, yeah, you guys have wrecked my brain, apparently.

Oh, we've wrecked your brain.

Let's stick with that.

Let's clear the air real quick on this point.

What do you think about when you take your dog for a walk?

Oh, yeah, right.
