I felt like I've had a really good winter myself, and I was thinking that this hit me on April 1st, so I made it through December, January, February, and March, and those are the deadly months.

Now here I start the spring off with a nasty head cold, but we'll get through it, and we're going to talk a lot about a lot of different things.

The one thing that I want to start with

is what Cam Schlittler looked like yesterday.

I mean, that kid looks like a star.

He looked like a star last year in the playoffs.

He looks like a real bona fide.

I mean, they got a number one in waiting.

Now they got Garrett Cole coming back, and this kid just looked like it was an everyday minor league game yesterday, and he was just throwing gas.

I mean, his pitches were unbelievable.

And listening to David Cohn actually talk about what he was doing and the pitches he was throwing.

And I never knew this about pitching, but David Cohn said yesterday that there were times where he would be warming up and he was trying to hit the plate with a curveball.

He was trying to hit the plate with it because he can get a guy swinging and missing, and that's exactly what happened yesterday for Cam Schlittler.

Yeah, and what I love about him is the confidence that he has because he throws so many fastballs.

So it's not like he's a guy that's got like this eight-pitch arsenal that's keeping everybody off balance.

He's attacking guys constantly, constantly, constantly, and he knows he's got great stuff.

He believes in himself.

Now, I know this Mariners lineup has been a little bit disappointing to start the year.

Their top three guys have been brutal, but they're still really good hitters over the course of their careers, and he's just picking them off one by one like it's nothing.

So it's something to be really, really excited about.
