00:00It's exciting, you know, gotten a chance to watch a couple of his games, you know, the
00:07past couple of weeks, you know, since he got called up and it's, it's, it's special stuff,
00:12man, electric stuff, you know, not only is you can talk about the velocity on his pitches
00:16and what he does, but you know, the guy's a pitcher, man, he can work all three, four,
00:20five of his pitches, throw it in any part of the zone, any count, um, and he's a, he's
00:26a complete pitcher, man.
00:27So it's going to be fun.
00:28You know, I think we're all excited to, you know, see him on the mound, see him do his
00:31thing, especially in his first all-star game, getting the nod to be a starter.
00:34It's, it's impressive, man.
00:35So definitely looking forward to facing him.
00:38He's going to be one of the top pitchers in this game for a long time.
00:40So it's going to be exciting to, you know, get a chance to face him in his first one.
00:44And I know he's going to have multiple all-star game starts, you know, for years to come.
00:48So this is going to be pretty cool.
00:51I think we got a good lineup.
00:52We got a good lineup.
00:53So I think somebody will, they'll work a good count or, you know, get a base hit.
00:56So we'll see what happens.
00:57Listen, guys hit home runs against him.
01:00If they time it right, they, if they get their bat on that fastball, it goes out in a hurry.
01:05I saw Jeff McNeil rip one 30 rows up in Pittsburgh against him.
01:09So it's what he does after that, uh, where he's able to like let it happen and then get
01:16right back down to business and start whiffing guys in succession, right after he gives up
01:20a home run.
01:21The fact that he has five pitches, that he changes speeds, makes the ball drop off the
01:26table, uh, has a split fingered sinker, which no one's ever seen before.
01:30All these things make him really unique and, uh, God willing, if he's, uh, healthy, uh,
01:36I think judge is right.
01:38That is, it's going to be a long career of dominance.
01:40I keep telling you, he's a, he's a horse.
01:43He's like Nolan Ryan to me, this kid, I just hope he's healthy.
01:46That's all I care about because I already know he's got the goods.
