0:00.0	It is Friday, June 5th, 2026. This is another edition of baseball today presented you by T-Mobile.
0:06.7	That is my man, Trevor Plup. I'm Chris Rose, producer Dan along for the ride as well as we get y'all set for another baseball weekend.
0:14.6	Man, did the week fly by fast, didn't it?
0:18.2	Oh, shoot, I got to think about that one.
0:20.5	No, if you have to think about it. Yeah, not really, Chris. Not really, no. Oh, I feel like I've been busy. Yeah, okay. Well, that's good. Well, you weren't as busy as Josh Rojas, who gets our tip of the cap. This was amazing. He got the game winning pinch hit, two run single, sorry, off your twins in the ninth. You would say, okay, well, what's the big deal? How about this? His day started in Columbus, Ohio, where he was playing for the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Royals AAA affiliate, goes one for three. Midgame, they pull them. They say, hey, we need you in Minneapolis. You're getting called up to the big league club. He tried to make a three o'clock flight, missed it by seven minutes, sat around the
0:59.2	airport for more than four hours, got on the plane, noticed that the twins and royals got delayed
1:04.9	by rain in the middle of the game. He's thinking, I could make it to the stadium on time. Lans,
1:10.2	hops in an Uber, gets dressed,
1:12.4	gets loose, and gets the game winning knock. So two teams, two cities, two different leagues,
1:20.7	one game winner. How's your Thursday? That's insane. I was watching this game,
1:26.1	obviously. Shock that he actually swung at this pitch as Justin Lawrence was just nowhere near the strike zone. But a beautiful knock. And that is a crazy story, man. That's one he's never going to forget. And I don't even think the Twins broadcast knew that because they didn't mention that at all. So I didn't until you had him as our tip of the cap, I had to look it up.
1:46.5	But Bravo, man.
1:47.9	I remember over 40, right around 40-ish years ago, there was a guy named Joel Youngblood.
1:58.7	Was it Joel?
1:59.9	Yeah, he got traded midday and played for two major league teams in the same day in
2:06.1	different cities.
2:07.7	So I believe that's who it was.
2:11.3	That's why I'm mistaken.
2:12.6	Yeah.
2:13.8	Crazy.
2:14.4	But this one takes a cake.
2:16.3	That's pretty good to fly.
