What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, Bob, I promised a six pack of pirate questions. The first full day workout. I'm going to be in Florida over the weekend. Should I bop up to Bradenton? Maybe play some golf. Can you get me on a course and maybe stop by the pirates?
You're packing an awful lot into just a couple of days because you're going to fly down Friday, right? Maybe Thursday. But who's counting?
Yeah.
Okay. Well, yeah, you can do a lot of stuff down there.
Yes, I can, and I will.
You have tee times already planned, I assume, right? Yes, I do, and I will. Okay. Well, why do you need me to set something up if you already have tee times planned?
Because I'll cancel one, go see the Pirates, and plan a better course that you set me up on. Okay. Limits, does that sound reasonable?
It sounds like something you'd do. I have one for you, but I will check it out to see if it's available. Thank you, Bob. You're going to have to play with a couple of people, but that's fine.
Of course. Now, Alex over at Naples Country Club, which is an unbelievable place, I feel bad contacting him to try to play again. Should I feel bad or should I contact him again?
You just did, and you knew it. He's listening. So now you just contacted him without ever having to call that number. See, you know. I know what game you're playing.
Now, he's a wonderful man. Remember, we FaceTimed you from the course.
He is. He's a really good golfer, too. Yes, he is. And a very smart person. Son's going to Pitt to play football. He's got a lot of things going on.
That place was like being on another planet. It was like playing golf in some heavenly realm. I mean, it was crazy. They got some great places down there. None better than Naples Country Club, I can tell you that.
Bradenton is called Concession.
I'll make that concession to play there, Bob. Fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township. Visit them at SouthHillsKia.net. And the text line brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates. I'll tell you this much. The grilled cheese was to die for at Naples Country Club, too.
Well, grilled cheese, you can't. To me, that's one of my favorite sandwiches.
And they had the kind where it's lightly buttered, toasted in the frying pan. The whole grilled cheese is put together and then put in a little light butter on a pan. Do you know what I mean, Bob? So it comes out light and buttery and toasty and crispy. Yes, I did get some tomato soup. For whatever reason, that combination works all the time. Incredible. uh Edgar Snyder and Associates a personal injury law firm where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you so the first question is the one you raised Bob does the Jack Sawinski designated for assignment today mean anything in regards to Andrew McCutcheon I don't think so but it sounds like you might no I don't think so either I'm just wondering um
If you look at their outfield configuration, who they have out there, not that he would play outfield, but if they believe they have a shortage of clutch bats off the bench, could it be? I don't know. It struck me that Jack Swinski wasn't going to make the team no matter what, and he didn't. But I also thought they would somehow make a way for him to be on there, and since they have not, maybe that opens up a door that we didn't see possibly being opened. I don't know. I'm just talked around in circles right there. So the likely answer is no, but I wonder.
Well, I just don't think – to me, the key to a McCutcheon return, it would have to come during the season if he kept himself in shape. And if he wanted that, if he's not too ticked off at them at this point – And it would be in relation to Ozuna more than anything else. I mean, you can't have two mid to late 30 guys who can't play defense on your roster. Correct. You can only have one who are both right-handed hitters, I might add. And that one is Ozuna. So I just, regardless of what happens with Sawinski... I was reading about the password the other day. Can you say his name again, Limits? Joe Skinson. Garcia. 23 years old.
