Had a lot of fun doing this game.

Just an incredible experience to be out here as a talk show host and an occasional play-by-play guy to get a feel for what's going on out here at Coombe.

There's a special vibe.

There's not many times as a baseball fan that you can start a spring thinking your team might be able to win the whole thing.

Yeah, and things are getting going a little bit earlier because of the World Baseball Classic.

Some of those guys playing.

Seiya Suzuki playing center field in the opener yesterday because that's where he's playing for Team Japan.

Matthew Boyd today, PCA today because he's playing for Team USA.

People very excited about this team and seeing the urgency right from the get-go from every single player in camp.

I don't know if this is just me being a prisoner of the moment, but I feel like the Alex Bregman signing has a little bit to do with this.

I see a lot of stuff from him.

We had the chance to talk to him, and we like him.

He's a pretty serious dude.

He's very...

He's a student of the game, and he brings that to him.

So when you're watching him, and he posts stuff, the team posts stuff, the league posts stuff of him doing his work, and you go, oh, okay.

That's a guy where you know it's not yaha time.

It's...

get-yourself-ready time.

And for a team that has expectations, it's the type of player that you need.
