Hello and welcome to the In The Pen podcast, a podcast about relievers, part of the pictureless podcast network.

My name is Jake Crumpler, and as always, I'm joined by pitcherless bullpen expert, Rick Graham.

Rick, it is opening day.

We survived the offseason once again.

It was a long, cold winter for both of us.

I'm not even talking about the weather.

I have no clue what it's like on the East Coast. Never think they, no less. We made it's opening

day. How are you feeling about opening day? I know you're a bit under the weather, but hopefully

the baseball is cheering you up. Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, I'm going to fight through it for opening day for sure. But, yeah, we're finally here.

Today was super fun.

I know it's kind of tough for you being on the West Coast and all these four o'clock games are kind of right in the middle of your workday.

But, I mean, just to plug it really quickly, like, if no one, no one listening has heard about our affiliation of playback right now.

I was in that group.

I was in that room for a while today.

Super fun.

It's, like, such a game changer, like having all sorts of,

we had a bunch of good guests on.

Just a lot of people talking baseball,

watching baseball.

That's a game changer for us this year.

That's going to be super fun to be a part of.

And it's, I mean, anyone who can just, just got to get an MLB.tv account and have playback, which is free.
