00:00Now, you know, there's a lot of different storylines going into the season, you know,

00:03naturally, everybody's going to focus on the rematch of the World Series between the Yankees

00:08and Dodgers. Because again, I mean, that thing is going to be popping on. I believe it's Netflix,

00:12too. They're doing a documentary. It's about to launch on that, too. But so many other great,

00:16I think, storylines around the league, which is what are some of your favorites going into the

00:19season? Yeah, I think there's a couple interesting ones. You know, Orioles, Blue Jays to start the

00:25year, I think is is an intriguing one, because you've got two teams that there are questions

00:32around in the AL East and and you know, with the Red Sox expected to be a little bit better this

00:37year. Can either of those teams sort of punch their way in? I think the Orioles are expected to

00:43be in maybe a little bit of a down year after last season. So can they surprise a little bit?

00:48So I think that will be an early indication of maybe some things to come if one team impresses.

00:54And then you've got Red Sox Rangers, which I think is also an intriguing one, because these

00:58are two teams that, you know, maybe finished a little bit below expectations last year. Can they

01:04improve on on how they played last season? And Mets Astros is fun on opening day. That series,

01:12I think, you know, you look at a number of storylines just from that series. I think it'll

01:18be fascinating to see how Clay Holmes transitions into a starting role. Something to watch with Clay

01:24Holmes and also through the early portion of this season is there's a new pitch, not a new pitch,

01:31but a new fad, if you will, in baseball. The kick change, which Clay Holmes has added to his arsenal,

01:37that's expected to be the sweeper of this season. So look for how that performs and if that catches

01:44on or if, you know, pitchers sort of go away from it early on. It's a change-up that just has a

01:49little bit of different life to it. I don't know how really, you know, special it actually is,

01:56but it's getting a lot of play early on.
