And that's where I'm at right now.

Or do you say White Sox?

Well, I say Brewers and White Sox.

Both teams played a big dividend in what happened in Milwaukee over the weekend.

But look, I know people are going to point the finger at Shodan Managa, but let's be realistic.

Shota Managa, on a day where the wind was blowing out, was going to give up a home run.

If you really thought Shota Managa wasn't going to give up a home run, I got some land to sell you.

I don't even know where it is.

I don't know if it exists, but I'm going to sell it to you because you believe in miracles.

Just tell people it's too early, and then they'll be like, oh, yes, you don't want to talk about baseball early, so you must be my guy to buy land from.

No, but seriously, with Shota Minaga specifically, he's going to give up home runs.

He knows it.

I know it.

You know it.

Craig Council certainly knows it.

You just prefer them to be the solo type.

And if you give up a solo home run, it's not a big deal.

But if you strike out two batters and then you give up two singles and then give up a home run, it's problematic.

All that being said, I have much less issue with Shota, who gave up four runs over five-plus innings.

That's fine.
