I know it's early, but it's still how it is.

All right, here's what Lucas said about the guy that he was briefly a teammate with, Jose Soriano.

And is there a player that you've watched, you said, shit, I didn't know he was that good?

Oh, my.

That's a good question.

I have to think.

What's the dude, Sariano from... I knew he was going to be good.

I love the fact that we get a chance to talk to Soriano and they keeps on dealing.

Hey, we're here to offer perspective and insight, entertainment, and all of the above.

All right, in case you don't know, there's been other pitchers who started out the season really, really well.

Michael Waka, one run in his first 21 innings.

Eduardo Rodriguez, one run...

earned run over his first 18 innings.

Parker Messick, one earned run, first 17 and two-thirds innings.

Also, let's not forget the hitters.

Friend of the program, Chandler Simpson, the guy that we just desperately want to be in the crosshairs of everybody who loves the game of baseball because of the way he plays and also because he's been on the podcast a bunch of times and we love talking to him.

But Chandler Simpson...

is having a breakout year with a raise.

After his rookie year last year, this year he's hitting .411, .923 OPS for the first place Tampa Bay Rays.

Yeah, the Rays are in first place, tied with the Yankees and Orioles atop.
