00:00It's just, you can't help but be like, oh my gosh, I remember how amazing this is.
00:20But is this a sucker bet?
00:22Is this the same thing as me saying the Cowboys have $50 million in free agency, so money,
00:28so maybe they'll go get people.
00:30Is that the same thing as me thinking Jacob DeGrom's back, he's healthy, and he's going
00:34to kick ass all year long?
00:35Yes.
00:36Okay.
00:37It is.
00:38Well, and I think DeGrom's even saying the slow ramp is important to him.
00:43The way the Rangers are doing it.
00:44We talked last week with Jared about him being at the back of the rotation.
00:48Yes.
00:49Why can't you take it easy on DeGrom, Kevin?
00:52Why do you-
00:53Because Evan Grant's headline got me all hyped up all over again.
00:57That can be true.
00:58Listen everybody, it can be true that DeGrom, when he pitches, is the best pitcher on the
01:04planet.
01:05When he's on the mound, you're probably not having a better pitcher on the mound.
01:08But we all know the reality, and so we just have to temper every expectation about what
01:13he is, and understand that even if he has 12 strikeouts and 5 innings, he might be done
01:20for the day.
01:21Yeah.
01:22You know, like that might be, we've done everything we need to for the day, bullpen is fine and
01:26we'll take care of it.
01:28We don't need to push you anymore.
01:30Kevin, every time he gets on the mound, I will hold my breath most of the game, just
01:36because I'm like, oh my gosh, just waiting for the moment where he looks to the dugout
01:40and then looks at his arm.
01:42Like I'm just waiting for that.
01:43Does that prevent you from enjoying his season?
01:46I hope not.
01:47I'm dead serious, I hope not.
01:49Because I've said this, I missed out on Max Scherzer's, when he was at his best.
01:56I don't want to miss out on us having to grum still in his prime, or the back part
02:01of his prime, being good to go.
02:04I don't want to miss it and not enjoy it.
02:06But it is a part of me that's kind of sitting there squeezing and clenching a little bit
02:10with every pitch that he throws.
02:12But he can still be great, but still have those things.
02:15And we'll say it over and over, as long as he's great during the playoffs, we're happy.
