00:00And it's on fire right now.
00:01People are losing their minds, Ricky Bowe.
00:04Where are you?
00:04Are you freaking out?
00:05Yeah, it's time to lose it.
00:07I'm telling you, time to shut this team down, never watch them again.
00:11I'm done.
00:11I am done.
00:12Are you kidding me?
00:13One and two?
00:14This team's not going to win 50 games this year.
00:16I'm done.
00:17How could you not be?
00:19We have a good club.
00:19And I am kidding, obviously.
00:21You know what?
00:22Think back.
00:23Well, let's think back.
00:25Last year, they were 2-1.
00:26They played the Washington Nationals to lead off the season, if you remember.
00:30As a matter of fact, they saw this same Mackenzie Gore last year.
00:34What happened there?
00:35They struck out 13 times that day, if you remember.
00:38So they weren't off to the greatest of starts.
00:40They did go 2-1 in the first three.
00:42You go back two years.
00:44Do you remember two years back?
00:46Probably not.
00:46You don't have a good memory.
00:48They played against the Atlanta Braves.
00:50And why this was so big in my head is because I did postgame after they had lost that Sunday.
00:57And they were 1-2 through three games against the Braves.
01:01And I remember Michael Barkin basically saying the season was over.
01:05It has ended.
01:06There's no chance.
01:08They can't beat the Braves.
01:10They're in trouble.
01:11The Braves are going to bury them all season long.
01:13You know what?
01:14They end up winning 95 games that year.
01:17Okay?
01:18You go back the year before, which would have been 23, right?
01:22Because 25, 24, 23.
01:24Yeah.
01:242023.
01:25You know what they did that year?
01:27Do you know how they started off?
01:29I'll give you a clue.
01:30They started in Texas.
01:33How'd they do that year?
01:34They were swept in Texas.
01:35Not good.
01:36And then they lost their next game.
01:37They were 0-4 to start that season.
01:40What happened in 23 at the end of the year?
01:43Oh, they were pretty damn good until the Diamondbacks series.
01:46Until the last two games of the Diamondbacks series.
01:48There is no need to panic, people.
01:50This is a situation in which you're three games in,
01:53some of the guys trying to find themselves.
01:56And I will even go as far as this.
01:59They didn't have a full team in spring training.
02:01Because of the WBC.
02:02Yeah, I believe what?
02:03Harper played in six games.
02:05Schwarber in six games.
02:07When that happens, you don't get a feel for everybody on your club.
02:10I've got to be honest with you.
02:11Although it didn't look like they had a pretty good club this past weekend.
02:14But things will get better.
