Mike Ryan

That has been one of his best pitches strategically over his career. Same thing with the change-ups. You know, that has been has been a huge weapon for him and hitters are hitting 273 against it. So his two pitches right now are getting hit pretty hard. And when you look at Emmanuel Classe, I thought it was crazy.

He's given up almost twice as many earned runs so far this year than he did all of last year. So just kind of crazy to see, you know, what is going to happen from from that relief standpoint. But, you know, I venture to say, Jeremy, when we look back into the end of the season, these guys will have it figured out and they'll be back in their respective roles. Final question for you.

Picking between the two, it's tough for me, but I'm going to go with a guy who I get a chance to see up close and personal many times, you know, being a sideline reporter for the Rays, and Aaron Judge, right? The numbers are mind-boggling stupid.

To hit 405 at where he's at right now, to be the best hitter in the world, his strikeout rate, his chase rate, his two-strike batting average are all at career-best levels. He has neutralized what had been his biggest weakness, and that was strikes down and away in the zone. This year, On strikes down and away in the zone, he's hitting .381 as an average and his slugging is .524.

He has neutralized what had been his biggest weakness, and he is turning that into a strength. If he can consistently do what he's doing now, he might go down as, if not the greatest hitter in all of baseball, top five for sure.

I was very fortunate to have a pitching coach by the name of Tom House. And Tom and I are the same age. And Tom is a coach that's always on the cutting edge. And I really enjoyed our association together. and he would always come up with new training techniques.

And because of our friendship and Tom pushing me, I think I got in the best shape of my life during the years that I was with the Rangers.

Iceman. Good job. Man, you're 0 for 2. I'm actually Iceman, but it's fine. No, thanks for having me, fellas. I appreciate it. But yeah, I mean, it's loud, man. I mean, I've been doing this since I was nine years old. I grew up watching my dad race, so I've been around the track forever. And it does.
