What is the opening segment and who introduces the show?
Fourth quarter of the program begins right now as we finish strong here on a Wednesday. Still, still coming at you, Shahan Jayarajah, talking some college football. We'll get his thoughts on a big, big weekend in SEC country and Big Ten country. Pretty much have to be in SEC. We did get a top 25 versus top 25 in the Big 12 last week with Houston and Texas Tech. But when like 20 of the 25 spots are Big Ten and SEC, pretty much needs to be their league games. Yeah. But still. Not much else you could be. No, but still a big weekend of college football. Don't be pouting over there.
Which we didn't really have last week. There were a couple, but there was a lot of just fluff.
This week,
from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., it's going to be top-shelf football. Top-shelf football. On your TV, and probably more than one. You don't need more than one. Time for some PIP or some multi-view or whatever your system allows.
I like it. No Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Steve Spagnuolo, Dave Tobe, Eric Bien-Ami, Chris Jones at the podium today. That all gets going tomorrow. We'll get Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and probably a couple other folks tomorrow. I think Thursday is... Assistant Coach Day. So we're going to get the coordinators, and then we'll get some of the assistant coaches as well. I love Assistant Coach Day. I do. I like that. That's one of my favorite ones. And Chris Jones Thursday, right? I think so. I think he'll still be there. Usually he's been there. Go look at Todd's email. He sent us the schedule. Does he have the whole list who else is on? Yeah. I don't have time for emails. Right.
I'm swamped. I wonder if we'll have two birds, two middle fingers to give us.
Does he have who else is up there with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes tomorrow? Since you clearly are doing nothing but sitting around and reading
your
emails. Reid, Mahomes, and select players. Thank you. Thank you. How'd that email check-in go for you? I'm informed. Fair response. What you got from that email is what I find I get from most emails. That's why I've chosen to selectively view them. So no Chiefs talk, but we've got Royals talk. J.J. Piccolo, first game of a homestand, usually the general manager, makes himself available. Let's hear a little bit of J.J. Piccolo today. He was asked what the knowns are. The knowns. What do you know? What are the knowns for next season?
I think part of our rotation is a known. I would say 60% of it is a known. We have guys that have stepped up and certainly put themselves in a position to compete for spots to round out that rotation. I would say that the bullpen is the unknown. I mean, that's the one that we're going to spend a lot of time on. And I think the more obvious guys, I mean, you talked about Carter and Jack, I mean, they clearly are in the mix to be a big part of what we do. Bobby, obviously, Mikel, obviously, Vinny, Salvi, those guys are all big parts of what we're going to do in the future. It's figuring out some of the other things, but... I think our infield, for the most part, is the known. I should mention Michael Masson, too.
Michael's done a great job in putting together a really solid year and performing within his means. He didn't try to do anything differently or too much, I should say, and he's had a really nice
year. Okay. Like in the infield, how about the injuries? J.J. was asked if injuries that they piled up this year will color their assessment heading into the offseason.
Overall, I think we have to put that into our assessment of our coaching staff. I mean, we were not playing with a full deck, so I think that has to factor in. It doesn't mean that we're not talking about different ways we can tweak our staff. I'm not sure what that will look like right now. Q and I and Scott Sharp and others, we've had a chance to talk about a lot of different things, and now it's a matter of do we have the right people in place to get us to where we want to go. But the injury bug or injuries we've had, You know, have to play a part in it because this group does have a track record that says something, you know, whether it be our pitching coaches, hitting coaches.
