 Masahiro Tanaka. He was simply superb in the playoffs last year, but you forget he had a rough regular season. He had a terrible man. His regular season was up and down. So I'm curious, you know, Don Trill, his importance to the Yankees. We keep talking about how great their lineup is. What about Tanaka? Well, he's the veteran behind Sub-Areno to take pressure off that. And in this rotation, everyone's been hurt. So health is welcome in that rotation. I think that's the Achilles heel of this ball club, especially if they hurt themselves. Now, he needs to learn to be able to live low and live long, especially with that slip finger. He did a great job of changing eye level today, but the injuries to take a toll. And now you don't want him to have a stress fracture or anything like that on his elbow because he's had some miscues on that elbow. So that's a worry. But for me, I want to see him get early contact, get early out so he can go deeper in the ball game and take less of strain off his elbow. You know, I think he needs to be the guy. We saw the end of the second half of the Yankees last year and into the playoff. He was dominant. He had life on his fastball. The key with him is his velocity on his fastball. If he's throwing mid 90s, 92, 93, 94, he's going to get a lot of outs because the guy knows how to pitch. Definition of professional big league pitcher. Yeah, I would agree with you on that. Six innings today. Eight strikeouts. Only one run allowed. You know, just a sidebar. You know, Blue Jays, to me, they're a team that can go either way. But you forget how good Aaron Sanchez is training watching him pitch tonight. I know he gave it up there. We're going to have to leave the game, but his stuff is wicked. You want to see the rep for him? He's gone through some injuries. But again, when you see the natural ability, you saw the sinker at 95 to 96 down in the zone. He has that whooper-duper, that wipeout slider, too. I love this tempo, but he ran out of gas. But as he gets stronger and gets older, he'll start to learn how to pitch to contact. And like I said for Tanaka, get early contact and get out. I think a lot of pitches now they want to strike everybody out. But the pitch count starts to rise and you see a lot of guys pitch counts. Get to 100 early in the ballgame. They need to learn how to start a game if they want to finish the game. Well, they've groomed. They've groomed. There's got to be their ace. The key for him is strike one. When he's ahead of the count, he's vicious. You saw that sinker down and then plowed in the right-handers. He can control the ball game, but he's got to work ahead of the count. One last note. There is some concern for the Blue Jays. Josh Donaldson, D.H. today, he had some really weird throwing issues considering he's an excellent defensive player. They're calling it a dead arm. But that would concern me if I'm the Blue Jays. Is that D.H.? And we'll see. I don't like the we'll see. Not at all. He's a free agent more. He's a free agent for sure. I don't agree. He's just too good. We've got to see him play. He might want to start talking about negotiating again. Great player. That's right. Right about now. Right about now. So I think we all assume, excuse me, the Dodgers are the favorite. They went to the World Series. But Frank, in the NL West, who is the number one challenger to L.A.? I've been sending all off season to acquire Longoria and McCutcheon to a team that's a customer winning. The only problem you've had over the last five years in my eyes has been offense. You bring in two valuable productive pieces that are used to hitting all year long having to carry the ball clubs. I'm looking for the Giants to have a big sum of this year. No one is talking about them. I think they're a little short with pitching right now, but they they have the front office to know how to get going. Now to go out and get pitching. I think everyone's better except the dining backs to the loss of J.D. Martinez will hurt them. But if they're collectively hitting the ball like they're doing so far, I think they can make up for that difference. But again, now the Dodgers have to understand that they're the champs and they're going to get everyone's best fight within the division. I'm excited to see everybody. But I think the Rockies might give them some fits. And I think the Diamondbacks might give them some fits and challenge them. Two things. Don't you think the Diamondbacks starting pitching is pretty good? I feel like I never hear anything about it. I mean, they're pretty safe. They get what they got from... Well, it's tough to pitch there. You know, in Greek, he's got to stay healthy. He's been having a little injury bug the last couple of seasons and it's been subpar. We want to see him be able to get out there and at least get 25 starts because he takes pressure off the rest of that rotation. But he's the key in that rotation for them. Yeah. I mean, Zach Gottlieg was quietly really, really good for them. Well, they had a great year last year, but the only problem is they really didn't add anything to their team. And they subtracted a big bat. Right. And I was getting martinis out of the way to stay in Arizona. Really? I wish he did too. The way the ball flies in that place. Hey, take a few million less, I would have stayed in Arizona. Interesting. Right. But they still do have the core. I mean, they still have a very, very good team. But I feel, I see what you're saying. He still got Paul Goldsmith. He still got... Oh, they got a great team. They still got a bat in there, but I would have liked to see him be behind them to protect him. But he's not there, but they have the productivity to make up for it, I think. And he was great when they won the World Series and knocked down last year. He had a great spring. Looks like he's back. They go out and get Darvish. Lester, you kind of know he's going to be fine, right? They got your guy Quintana Frank. This comes rotation. We talked about their hitting yesterday. You love Chili Davis. Is the rotation upgraded? Are they in the right place to bring this game? I think so. They got six great starters. I think they got one number one and four number twos. I think that can go and compete with anyone on a night basis throughout this season. I'm looking for the Cubs to have a big year. I mean, I'm a socks man in Chicago. I hate to say. Be careful. They're going to take over again, but the bottom line is the Cubs is a dynamite team. I love this rotation. They all pitch to contact. They have great tempo, which plays right into that athletic defense. They're going to get a lot of contact, a lot of swing and misses as well as far as this stuff. But I like the Cubs and I got those guys representing the National League to go to the World Series as long as they stay healthy, especially in that rotation. What do you think about the signing of you, Darvish, instead of keeping their own guy, Jake Areada, who they've been through the wars with, who was obviously excellent for them to go and get Darvish, who has been a great pitcher. Last time we saw him, he gave it up twice in the World Series. What do you think about that move? I think they honestly saw some declining Areada, and they didn't want to spend the money to keep a guy that was on his decline. They went and got another guy that had swing and miss stuff like Areada did when he was healthy and got him a little longer term. So I think they saw something in the decline of Areada and let him just part ways, especially a guy that's that talented. They must have saw something upstairs, but as far as getting Tyler Chatwood, a guy that pitches the contact and pitches better away from course field, so it should work out. So I like this rotation a lot. I think it'll be fine. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. He mentioned Tyler Chatwood. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. You just hating on him. I don't know. You just hating on him. You got a two-year away away from course. He might be the nicest guy in the world. But you mentioned him six times in two days. I like the rotation. I didn't like it at first because I think Areada deserved his money in Chicago. It's because of what he does. He was the number one guy the last three years. He was dynamite when Asai Young, but they did offer him $92 million of four years a couple of years ago in spring training. He turned it down. I think that came back to haunt him because he ended up signing up with 75 with a chance of making 125 if numbers things work out. But the guys that dynamite pitcher, he'll do well. I'm not worried about it anymore because they brought in you Darvish and I love watching you Darvish pitches. The guy has six pitches. Not many guys would ever do that. But this guy, he's a special pitcher. He's got to stay healthy to take up a slack. But your point, I know I'm busting your time. I like it. His road splits fantastic away from course. And think about it. They spent money. He's their fifth starter. That's another thing. I mean, I know we're kidding. The matchup. The matchup. I mean, it takes a lot of pressure off him again. He's not the tipping scale of it. He's not going to be your big game starter. But again, I like that rotation collectively with Lester and company. Exactly. So it gets him. He's going to win a lot of ball games because that offense is going to score a lot for him. And again, he's going to face guys like me. So he's definitely going to get some run support. So I just like, I think he's going to do well. Tyler, listen. Just to me. You don't have to go just 2% of that 40 million. He'll be real happy. He's already got a place in Coronado. I'm worried about it.
