You're going to be. Hello and welcome episode 697 of The Sleeper and the Bust. It is Wednesday, May 29th.

I'm your host Paul's 4,

and I failed, and I know that.

This is part 3 of the rotation check-ins that I was supposed to have by the weekend and I didn't and I sincerely

apologize.

Yeah the last one of these was out on May 21st. You can find part one all the way back on finding it now.

May 15th, you know, two weeks to get them all out. It maybe isn't so terrible.

Yeah, I'll I'll be easier on myself about it but I did want to get it done you know what and I just

Fridays can really kind of get away from me a little bit as far as time goes and that was kind of be

going to be my last day.

Saturday just wasn't going to work and so I think I was budgeting in that I could maybe do it

Saturday if necessary and that was foolish. But we're here, we're doing it, we got the final 10, we're going from

Philly through Washington. Let's go. Let's start with that Philadelphia Phillies rotation. they had a big returner last night Nick

Povetta is back on the bump gets off to a bumpy start in fact a terrible pun it

wasn't even intentional.

You know, if I'm gonna do a god-awful pun like that,

I really would like it to be something that I plan.

But no, it was, you know, it was something I think he had allowed three runs in the first three innings or excuse me in the first inning

Checking that fact right now. Yeah, the the three runs that he allowed for Povetta were in the first inning so you you see, you know, two hits, three runs, like here we go.

Pavetta's back, you know, his two home runs, and then he really settled down. His final four innings,

he allowed just one hit, two walks, and had five strikeouts over the final

floor there. So he really settled down. In the miners, he was getting a lot of punchouts and kind of you know being solid 12.2
