| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to episode 1491 of The Sleeper in the Bus. |
| 0:21.9 | It's Friday, March 27th. |
| 0:23.3 | I'm your always Paul Sporer. |
| 0:24.8 | Join this morning by Justin Mason. |
| 0:26.2 | Justin, how's it going? |
| 0:28.1 | It is going. |
| 0:30.6 | My teams are, some of my teams are already destroyed. |
| 0:33.9 | It's, you know. |
| 0:36.1 | No, they're not. |
| 1:14.8 | Everything's fine. Day one in the books, some fun performances, you know, definitely some Ian Hap moments, which you've heard his reference probably a million times before. We were big on him. Many moons ago, he hits a lead off Homer. We're like, yes, got that one right. He goes on that pretty mediocre season. There were a lot of those moments this time. That's what I'm saying. A lot of those like mid, late round guys who did something big that you know their proponents are like, I knew it. And it's like, hey, I understand the inclination, but you ain't done shit yet. Calm down. And you're going to be hearing me say that i don't know if you drafted chase de lauder i knew that's the one you were thinking of and i get dominant canzone like yep that night game |
| 1:20.9 | offered two big happy in moments of like yes dude my late rounders a god because because Canzone and DeLotter both went double dung, which was awesome. That was a really good game, by the way. It was. Good capper. By the way, we've already bished about scheduling yesterday. It's even dumber today, dude. First game is until 3.30. Yeah, I know. and it's a standalone game hey at least it's |
| 1:45.3 | friday you know because uh nobody would want to sit around and watch sports on friday |
| 1:49.6 | nobody's available to do that i guess no unbelievable unbelievable but i won't i won't bog down on |
| 1:57.7 | that we're here to talk two-star pitchers right now. |
| 2:01.1 | And it's an interesting board for the first week because obviously with the little half-week that we have here, it takes the aces off the schedule. In fact, we only have one auto-start. And we don't really talk about the auto-starts. You don't need us to tell you to start Max Freed. And then we got some guys here that, you know, they're probably auto starts right now, but I still want to talk about like where they're at. Like if Edward Cabrera, Luis Castillo, Chase Burns, Ranger Suarez, Chris Bubich, if they, uh, Senga, if they kind of emerge in the auto start status, that won't be surprising. But I think right now we still want to talk about them, especially in some shower formats where maybe you're not automatically going for it. |
| 2:38.7 | So let's go ahead, run down the list, and let's start with Chase Burns, who had a really weird |
| 2:44.0 | late spring. You know, it was actually worse than, than Sheehan. Remember Emmett Sheehan had the |
| 2:50.1 | VLO go down. Is he going to be in the rotation |
| 2:52.3 | everyone panics boom he's he's starting the second game similar sort of thing happened with burns |
| 2:57.2 | oh he's kind of nicked up a little bit they might protect him he might be part of a follower |
| 3:02.2 | situation they're going to have louder brandon williamson and and Chase Burns cover two spots well then another |
| 3:09.5 | injury cropped up and everyone's in the rotation like Williamson's even in the rotation proper so |
