Blake Murphy

He'd be coming up and be like, who's this pitcher?

And, you know, he obviously had some pretty strong careers.

And I wonder if that,

Not wonder.

I mean, it does kind of show you that it's not one size fits all with this kind of stuff.

The Jays have a handful of guys right now who are hitting much better off relievers who you probably you do in advance and meetings and stuff like that.

But you probably you're not hitting to get off the traject as much as you are for a starter.

It's a little more read and react.

So interesting to hear that, David.

With this series, you mentioned there's been like 100 or more of these talks hitting.

Is there anyone who's out there right now that's top of your list or near the top of the list that you haven't gotten a chance to do for one of these series yet?

There was that great MLB Network feature, I think, in 2024 with Barry Bonds and Greg Maddox chopping it up together, which is pretty cool.

So I hope you get Bonds.

That would be a really fun one.

David, I want to check in on two teams here.

I know, like, as media, when we're talking to these guys, the concept of who's your team is more geographical and job-related, but you are from...

Michigan, and I know that you saw some Tigers games back when you were still living there and growing up there.

What do you make when you look at your home state Tigers right now and the situation they find themselves in after a pretty disastrous two months to start the year?

Yeah, it's a tough one.

Now, to highlight how, I guess the biggest thing to highlight about how weird the season has been is that the Chicago White Sox would be in a playoff spot.
