Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the early edge. You can hear it in my voice. I am coming

0:14.5

off the Early Edge meetup, and I'm losing it, or at least my voice. But this show brought to you by

BenMGM. Bear with me as we take a look at the recap screen. I see everybody in the chat, including Larry Hartstein, who I saw yesterday. We go four and two. I will mention Martin actually gave out a third play. It wasn't officially on the recap screen, but for those of you that took that five and two. But Amags hits, E.C. hits hits, buckets goes one for two. Martin Green goes one for two. Speaking of buckets in Martin Green, let's bring in the stars of the show. As I also see, Jen in the chat, who I met yesterday. Aaron Bailey is in the chat. We've got buckets. We got Martin Green. We got Calvin Wetzer, who was also at the meetup, and we got to start with

you. Because we saw quite the game yesterday, 26 runs, your Cubs victorious, but it's funny because you

1:02.7

shared a very interesting stat with me right before we went live here. Can you talk about it?

1:07.2

Yes, there were 26 runs scored, and one of the teams did not hit its team total over.

1:13.1

So that was a bit ridiculous.

1:15.4

But hey, what an absolute blast.

1:17.8

I had so much fun meeting everybody.

I know Jen asked me for live home run play during the game and I said PCA and then maybe

1:46.0

Michael Bush and they both hit home runs. So like we were rolling. I know Amags hit over three

1:51.4

and a half home runs in addition to his Walker Bueller play. So man, what a day.

1:56.8

We have been putting up a picture of a lot of us in front of Wrigley Field, but I will say that's not even half the group.

2:02.1

We were having trouble corralling everybody as we were going into the stadium.

2:05.3

But a lot of pictures that we put up on the Sportsline Twitter channel, go check those out.

2:09.9

I'm sure we'll be posting more pictures.

2:11.2

Calvin, real quick, we met you yesterday as well.

2:13.7

How you feeling today?

2:15.2
