The Pirates have reached 80 wins for the 5th time in my life, being born in 1998. What would be a forgettable season in most franchises is now top 5 in terms of success since Barry Bonds hightailed it out of Pittsburgh. They win 2-0 Tuesday night off the back of a heroic performance from Jared Jones, who is showing promising signs of being a top end rotation arm for 2027. The 2 runs the Pirates got across the board was enough and the team has won 5 straight games. Watch DiNardo and Tyler break the game down in detail here:
Today was the 3rd time in a shortened season that Jared Jones had gone into the 6th inning without allowing a hit. Jones can be so dominant that flirting with a no-hitter or perfect game is just something that happens on a monthly basis. Jones ends up pitching 7 shutout innings and striking out 9 while allowing a singular baserunner to reach in the 6th inning. The double surrender wasn’t even a well-hit ball, as it was more of a blooper hit than anything else. Jones’ development over the course of this season has arguably been the most impressive thing we have seen from anyone on the roster. The ERA doesn’t tell the full story, as Jones has developed the ability to have real control over his pitches while keeping his velocity running high deep into games. No longer is he running into the issue of losing steam by the 5th inning like he was in his rookie campaign. Even in a down year it’s hard to unseat Skenes, but Jones makes a compelling case that he should be seen as Pittsburgh’s number one arm heading into the 2027 season. The 3-headed monster of Skenes/Jones/Ashcraft should be something any Pirates fan can look forward to.
Ben Cherington Did Say the Pirates Were Due For a Hot Streak…
While doing his weekly interview for 93.7 the Fan in late August, Ben Cherington said that the team had never had a hot streak and was due for one. The Bucs responded in September accordingly and are 13-6 in the last month of the season. The team is playing good baseball with good moments all over the diamond. The Bucs are the 7th best team in baseball by WAR, and the team is poised to finish with a winning record for the first time since 2018, and this has been the most fun I’ve had watching the Pirates in a long time. However, this team will sit out of the postseason because they hadn’t won 5 games in a row since April. This hot streak of winning when already eliminated can only feel so good, and all I can wonder is where was this winning in June/July/August. Despite taking advantage of a favorable September schedule, the bullpen in the first half of the season and the offense in the 2nd half are the reasons why the Phillies and Padres will go dancing while the Bucs hope to reach 85 wins. What a shame and disappointment.
The Pirates pitching trio combined for 9 shutout innings and 14 strikeouts. Jared Jones, Gregory Soto, and Luke Weaver all looked excellent tonight as they consistently missed Cardinal bats. When you look at the first half bullpen, you were featuring guys like Dennis Santana and Isaac Mattson in high leverage situations. While they served us well for a time, their inability to get strikeouts eventually cost them their jobs in Pittsburgh. After acquiring Weaver, Camilo Doval (RIP), and elevating Gregory Soto’s role, the bullpen got immensely better. This offseason, the Pirates should be focused on high strikeout guys who can fix their command instead of depending on soft contact relievers. We cannot afford the meltdown of the pen like we had at the beginning of 2026.

The Debate
Is the hate on Gregory Soto deserved, even with 16 saves and a 3.72 ERA?
NH19 PiratefanAll-Star· 49d ago
If the bullpen had not blown over twenty saves, this year, we should be looking at their ninetieth win and the playoff bound
NH19 PiratefanAll-Star· 45d ago
At least we have a winning team. FINALLY. 🤣
With Anthony DiNardo and Tyler Sweeney.
Chapters
Key takeaways
1
Jared Jones' finish to the season settles whether he belongs in the bullpen or the rotation. When he's on, he looks like the best pitcher in baseball.
2
As someone who complained about Jones' pitch limits, the host still credits the Pirates. The way they handled him this year worked, and you can't argue with the results.
3
Konnor Griffin making the third out at third base is forgivable. A run scored on the play, and you don't want to take that aggressiveness out of him.
4
Luke Weaver's rough stretch is nothing to worry about. His velocity and stuff are intact, and you can pencil him into the 8th inning in Sharpie next year.
5
Gregory Soto is brutal to watch, no matter his results. One host never wants to see him pitch in a Pirates uniform again, while the other says the hate is undeserved.
And I think it was Doug and I on the last show that he pitched where, he give the seven hits.
It wasn't pretty.
It was still a winnable ball game in a sense, but it was like, you know what?
The thing that impressed me, it wasn't, I think I said, it wasn't an impressive start, but there was something impressive about Jared.
And it was, he wasn't on, he was able to fight through, he wasn't walking guys.
He was battling.
And like, that's not the Jared that you saw earlier on in the year where he's give a lot of walks.
Tonight is he was on.
He was just simply on.
He was filthy for the third time this year.
Ty, he had a no hitter go into the sixth.
He had a perfect game tonight.
5.1 innings until he gave up that bloop single.
that just, that hurts that one just hurts man to lose a perfect game on that hit there.
And he went even further and still he went seven innings with that just one hit, no walks, nine strikeouts.
Yeah.
And I think I was on the start before that.
And I don't remember who was on with me.
It might've been Jim, but we talked about another one of his starts that might've been the best start of the season, which wasn't, but it was like top three.
And then my God, he comes out there.
Still one of.
Yeah.
But he comes out there tonight and was just dominant again.
And he's put together at least like four or five starts that have just been.
there's no other way to put them other than dominant.
Like you don't touch it.
My bad.
What'd she say?
Did you say something at the end?
You're it glitched out on me.
Whatever.
Yeah.
He's just put together like a four or five starts this year that have just been flat out dominant.
Like there's no other way to put it.
Oh, completely dominant.
Just.
You cannot touch him.
You cannot touch him when he is on, you can't touch him.
And tonight was one of those nights that he's on.
And the thing is, he has been on more than he hasn't lately.
You say, like throughout the season, but I'm just, I'm talking here and I'm going to include this last game again.
Because again, he went five innings.
He gave up one when he left, right?
Like I said, he entered the sixth inning.
He didn't record any outs.
I allow those two, runners to score.
So he goes five innings, three earned last time.
But still, it was a no decision.
It was still a game that was won.
But his last four games, Tyler, six innings, no runs, seven innings, no runs, five, three, and today seven innings, no runs.
Also, strikeouts, nine, eight, nine, and the walks, one, two, one, zero.
You're talking all season.
I want to talk about these four starts he's strung together in a row currently, as he's ending the season right now.
He has looked good and he's also giving some length.
So in September, 25 innings, 35 strikeouts, 108 ERA, 0.64 whip with eight plus strikeouts in every single start.
Can you say that whip one more time?
0.64.
He is allowing almost half a base runner in inning.
Want to talk about efficiency?
Yeah.
Right.
I know we're talking one month, but he's coming back from a major injury.
Now, he luckily avoided Tommy John.
He had the brace.
The return usually makes that, quicker.
It was shaky at first.
There was still some brilliance early on, but it was shaky at first.
And the thing is, like, you have to expect that.
one of the things that usually returns the most lengthiest time is the control, the command of pitches.
Right.
So you usually expect a lot of walks early on.
And it really wasn't when he was giving, like, a ton of walks early on.
But, again, like, he wasn't real sharp.
He was allowing hits, allowing runs.
He had a blow-up game and such.
Of course, he's not going deep in the games.
But the way he is finishing this year right now, Tyler, if you had debates of whether he should be in the bullpen or in the rotation, he's putting that to rest.
He's absolutely putting that to rest because, like, again, when he is on, he looks the best pitcher in baseball.
Right?
Like, today.
the best pitcher in baseball.
That's how he looked like.
No one was touching him today.
to be honest, like, how many guys have taken no-hitters in perfect games into the sixth inning three times in a year?
Or however deep he's taken, at least two.
It's three.
Into the sixth.
It's three.
Into the sixth.
How many guys do that?
Not many.
And that means you're on a very good streak.
And, like, not to mention the Cardinals, it's not like they threw a bunch of righties at him either.
Which, yes, righties do match up with him well.
But they threw lefties at him as well.
He's done a really good job of being able to attack lefties.
And, plain and simple, it comes down to the fact that his fastball has just become, it's always been a weapon.
Don't get me wrong.
Like, it's, he's always had the weapon of the fastball.
The consistency, the command has been at a different level.
At least over, to be honest, throughout this year, I think.
Because the velocity has maintained throughout the games.
We haven't seen the dips that we saw his rookie year.
Now, to be fair, he hasn't gone too deep in the games.
just to be fair.
However, it still is noticeable.
Right.
But when you go back to his rookie year, there were starts where he was throwing 95.
He just didn't have it that day.
Like, there were just outings where he just, it wasn't there.
If he didn't have the velo, has not happened at all this year.
And, I hate to do it.
I guess I have to give the Pirates some credit here.
Because, right, wrong, or indifferent, this has worked with Jared Jones.
The way they've managed him throughout this year.
And, I know I'm one of them that have complained about how they've maintained his pitch limit and not let him go deeper.
We've seen the leash get a little looser now.
It's worked.
The way they've handled him, whether that's the reason or not that it's worked, you can't argue the results.
It has worked.
He is, he looks very strong at the end of this year.
And, to be fair, if they were in an actual playoff race right now, having Jared Jones going into the postseason would be sick.
Bruh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He talked about the fastball.
he basically, he's been fastball slider.
the slider's filthy, too.
But, it's almost like Bubba.
Like, when that fastball's working, that slider has been filthy.
So, what was it, 18 whiffs he had?
That was the game you were on with Jim.
Yeah.
Right?
It was the game we had 18 whiffs just on that slider.
It's a weapon.
But, the thing is, that fastball has taken another step.
But, he's also, he's, like, predominantly been fastball, I feel like.
Like, he's using that even more of late.
I think, last start, it was, like, at 68% when Doug and I was talking.
Today, he used it 60% of the time.
The secondary, on the slider, he's losing the curveball almost as much as the slider.
Yeah.
That curveball also looks nice.
That was something his rookie year, we started to see the development.
That intrigued us.
He had a nice strikeout today with that curveball.
Change up years a little bit.
So, like, the secondary pitches are, I just feel like they're dropping a little more in usage.
They're all even amongst each other.
But, he is predominantly throwing that fastball a lot now.
And, well, it's working.
And, I guess, going back to that last start, it's, like, but the thing about it is, even if guys are getting hits on it's not quality hits.
He's not walking guys anymore.
So, it's, like, because this is the pitcher he's, like, becoming, like, when guys are hitting off of him, it still limits the damage.
Like, that last start is him at his worst, at this point.
And, I think the other thing you see with him is, part of it, I wonder if it has to do with the amount of lefties that got thrown at him here today with the Cardinals.
Maybe that's why we saw a little bit of an increase in the curveball today.
But, throughout the game, you see him shift as well.
Like, the third time through the order.
Well, first time through the order, he's 70% fastball.
That creeps down to, like, a 50% fastball rate.
Because, the third time through, he's starting to mix some more secondary stuff in.
I don't know if we see that in previous years with Jared Jones, because he's going to be so damn stubborn that he's going to think, my fastball's better, I'm going to keep throwing it.
That is one thing I think we've seen with Bubba as well, and I think we're seeing it with Jared.
They're learning how to pitch.
They're learning the intricacies of pitching.
And that, all things considered, is a positive.
There's been certainly some nice developments from starters one through four.
I should say one through three in this rotation.
Right?
Braxton, Bubba, and Jared.
The four starter, Paul Skenes, maybe not so much this year.
But, we have talked about Bubba and his progression, his development, and Jared Jones again.
Like, this is essentially his sophomore season.
I know by rule of, years of service time and all and stuff, it's not.
But, he had a rookie season.
He had the injury.
He's coming back this year.
It's still not a full season.
But, like, you've seen his development as well as a pitcher.
And I think there were still question marks on him.
Because, again, like, you didn't know.
he had a nice rookie season.
But, at the end of the day, it was a four-something ERA.
You saw him break down.
you – and, again, it's valid.
Like, you talked about this.
Like, it is his body built to be a starter and such.
And you can still question it.
Like, this still isn't a full season's work of workload, right?
But the way we've seen him regress and develop this year, man.
Man.
Filthy.
It's, at the very least, a very large building block here with Jared Jones.
And I really don't care what happens on Sunday.
Like, I don't care if he throws at all.
I'd be cool just ending it on this, to be honest with you.
But if he wants to go out there and do this again, I'd be cool, too.
It sounds – they're talking on the broadcast.
It sounds like he's going.
I don't know if that was just – he's penciled in, of course, his next turn.
Right.
I don't know if that was insight.
Like, they actually are going to allow him to go.
Like, I would almost assume it's like, you did your job.
Let's get out of here.
With that being said, too, like, I understand the circumstances.
He says he was pitching amazing.
So, you're going to let him go.
Like, he did throw today 86 pitches.
Jim and I were talking on Bucco Brew.
Like, I wouldn't be shocked if these guys went four and out for the starters.
Because it's the last week.
just, like, get your work in and leave.
He went 86.
Is that maybe a sign?
Like, hey, this is your last start.
Let's go through seven.
Because he gave up that.
the no-hitter's gone.
So, you almost think, okay, well, you got six.
Let's get out of here.
Let him go in again.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Is this a sign that this was his last start and go some more?
Or will he go Sunday?
I don't know.
I think he'll go Sunday.
I think they've stretched him close to 90 now.
And I think he threw 90 maybe two starts ago.
I don't know if he did last time.
I think I was on a golf course at that time.
missed that one.
But he's been close.
Yeah.
they kept him around where his limit's been tonight.
And I think he'll go one more and maybe.
I think what you said there, though, about will he just go four innings?
I believe that's on the table.
I wouldn't be shocked at all if that happens.
They did that with Skenes two years ago.
Well, it was two innings.
Was it last year as well?
Against the Yankees.
Okay.
Oh.
I don't remember about last year.
I don't remember what year it was.
The Yankees, he pitched, I think, just one or two.
Barely pitched.
That's what he struck.
he was filthy.
But regardless, yeah.
No, if he does go Sunday, then I would not be shocked.
It was like, you got your work in.
You got your four good innings.
Let's get out of here.
Whatever.
But outstanding start today by J.R. Jones.
And again, we're talking today in September.
It's not meaningful baseball in the sense of playoffs, but it's meaningful in the sense of who are these guys?
How are they finishing their season?
How's this look going at 2027?
And I think a lot of people are starting to feel really good about J.R. Jones once again and this rotation.
And yeah, cap off.
he just had an outstanding finish to this season.
If this is it.
And even if, like you said, even if it's not, still, no matter what happens on Sunday, fantastic start or finish to it.
For sure.
just filthy.
Just flat out filthy.
And again, 18 lifts on the day.
He wasn't getting touched.
And 11 from the fastball.
he's just throwing his four seam at you and they weren't coming close to it.
Yeah, he's really found a way to attack with that fastball.
And I think, he's always known how much of a weapon it is at the top of the zone, but he's unlocked the ability to do it consistently.
And right now he's just able to throw it just above the hands enough that good luck, man.
I could hit it.
Obviously the Cardinals can.
But Tyler could sign up St. Louis.
Now I wouldn't play for them.
All right.
Call me Dejan.
You look, you look like a St. Louis Cardinal, to be honest.
You, if there's a team you're playing for, it's the Cardinals.
Yes.
Yes.
And unheard of.
Scrappy and angry.
That's it.
You are a St. Louis Cardinal, Tyler.
Let's go to the second half here of the show and talk about this team.
But before we do, a lot of people that I know use nicotine pouches.
And the part that missed most isn't so much the nicotine as the routine.
Larine just launched a pouch that keeps the routine, but leaves the nicotine out.
Larine pouches are pouches that swap out the nicotine and give you clean focus and support your enamel the whole time they're in.
And because this is Larine, every pouch also has 9-0 hydrooxyapatite, the material your teeth are made of, so it gives you daily enamel support in between brushings.
Every other pouch out there makes you pick between something that helps you focus and something that's actually good for your teeth.
This is the only one designed to do both.
And it comes from the brand that's leading the way at supporting your oral health.
Give Larine a try.
Right now, Larine Co is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buylarine.com slash North Shore.
That's buylarine, L-A-R-I-N-E dot com slash North Shore for up to 50% off.
He's played every game so far this season as well.
Something of note.
And then Horwitz also got a double.
His first extra base since August 15th-ish, I think.
I could look it up.
Ty and I are a real, we're cooking tonight on this show.
All right.
Here we go.
Bryan Reynolds is the first Pirate with 40 doubles in a season since Nate McClough in 2008.
Bobby Booney is the only other switch hitter in franchise history.
And that is from Alex J. Stumpf.
So, I know that's real.
So, yeah.
If it's wrong, blame Alex.
And I was wrong.
Not August 15th.
August 3rd, actually.
So, yeah.
Today is Spencer Horwitz's first extra base hit since August 3rd.
Spencer Horwitz is somebody who has absolutely been struggling.
But he's finishing the season a bit better, which is nice to see.
it's only nine games.
I get it.
But in his last nine games, he has nine hits.
He's batting .333, .770 OPS.
It's nice to see him start stringing some hits and now one going for extra bases as well.
So, welcome back, Whorehouse.
Yeah, I'm glad that they finally got him out of that leadoff spot.
I feel like he's got a little better since then.
And maybe it's just being back long enough.
But he's definitely a guy that you need to get going throughout.
there's only five games left.
So, it is what it is at this point.
But he's a guy that you wanted to see get back to normal, I think, in September here.
He's a guy for next year that you rely on, for sure.
You don't want to have to worry about, not that they'd have to worry about first base, because you still have O'Hearn.
But it just, it plugs a hole that you don't have to really think about.
If he struggled down the stretch, I'm not saying you go replace Spencer Horwitz, but I'd be worried about him going into next year.
719 OPS is not where you want him to be, but I'm not freaking out over him.
Yes.
I don't have much to add to that.
that's essentially what it is.
I don't think anyone's worried about, like, Spencer Horwitz in the sense of, do you bring him back next year?
Do you need to replace first base?
Do you need to do something?
But it certainly relieves you a little bit to see him finish the year.
That's what we talk about finishes, right?
like, Horwitz has, he was the best hitter last year.
And he came in this year and he was hitting very well as well.
He goes on the L, IL, comes back and he struggles.
And so now, like, you're wondering some people.
And again, like, I'm not, I'm not totally concerned.
I expect him to come back next year and still be Spencer Horwitz, right?
Be the guy that I assume he's going to be when you pencil him in the lineup.
But it also just makes you feel more comfortable going into the offseason, the very long offseason, when you see him also finishing the year being that person.
So it alleviates questions.
And I think that's what he's doing right now.
So, there's five more games.
You still want to see those five games where he's producing and looking more like himself.
Maybe he gets a home run.
That'll make you feel a lot better, too.
But, yes, if he finishes off these nine games were still the ones that he was doing beforehand.
The next five still look the same.
Now it's like two half seasons where one was good, one was bad.
And then if you are going in the offseason, like, oh, boy, is it gone?
What happened?
So anyways, yeah.
Sister Horwitz goes one for two today.
Also with a walk.
Did score the run also that, he was driven in later.
The insurance run.
Which, oh, yeah, that's a wild pitch.
Yeah.
Connor got out on third.
He scores on the wild pitch.
Yes.
Yeah.
Which I was going to say, which they you felt like they might have needed that one when Soto entered the game to close his one out.
But they also didn't.
Thank God.
But, yeah.
So they were able to muster two runs.
Again, there was not much threat.
It was basically Cruz and Horwitz that had any type of threat.
And luckily, the Patri were able to score both in very different ways.
Yeah, 770 OPS from Horwitz in the last nine games or whatever it is.
I'd love that I get to pick the sample size I want here to make myself look good.
But, yeah, he scores there towards the end of the game.
Also, with that, yeah, Konnor Griffin running, like I talked about earlier, being aggressive on the bases.
I know he gets thrown out at third there, but I love it.
He should have been safe.
He just came off the bag, got pushed off the bag a little bit.
Whatever is what it is.
I know you're not supposed to make the third out at third base.
I'm not mad about that one.
I'm really not.
I agree with you on that one.
Like, yes, like you don't make the third out, but I feel like that's one where you can like give the little asterisk and it's like, yeah, but I don't hate this one.
And I agree.
And I think the other reason you don't really hate it is by him getting out, like the guy is scoring and that happened.
Like, so you did get a run in it.
It's not as though all things were lost.
So, yeah, it stinks, but at the same time, it was a two nothing ball game when it happened.
Yeah.
And they're struggling offensively really badly there.
So, he takes care of business all by himself that inning.
Gets the job done.
we're not worried about Weaver at all, right?
As things are ending with the year.
Happy with.
Tonight.
I'm not worried about Weaver.
I'm really not.
The track record's too good.
Relievers do this where they have that stretch.
And, like, there's nothing that's been weird with him where, like, he's not walking a bunch of guys.
The velocity's not gone.
The stuff's not gone.
It's just, he had a little weird stretch where he gave up some runs.
I'm not worried about him at all.
Like, I think going into the next year, if there is baseball, you can put him in Sharpie that he's going to be in your eighth inning.
Like, he's going to be good.
I'm not worried about him whatsoever.
But it was definitely nice to see him be able to get through an inning there.
And just handle business.
Yep.
And again, he didn't just give up the walk.
stress-free.
Right.
As I said, he did give up the walk.
But it's fine.
And then he strikes out all three batters, right?
Like, made all three outs by strikeout.
Like, he looked dominant.
Soto comes in to close the game.
I do want to bring this up.
I hate watching this dude pitch.
I hate it.
I do want to bring this up.
Because 4-1, any issue with Soto coming in to close the game?
Yeah.
I have an issue with him coming in to close every game ever.
I hate watching the guy pitch.
But outside of that.
coming off an off day, I don't know why Montgomery's unavailable.
Other than maybe you're just saving arms here or what have you.
Just wanted to stack another off day with him.
I'm going to bring this up.
Go for it.
I do want to talk about this on level.
But yeah, I know it was an off day.
But Montgomery did pitch three of the four games beforehand.
29-21-11 pitches.
So, he has.
And he has been used a lot.
He has.
But the Pirates have been winning ballgames.
they're basically winning two out of every three games.
And so, therefore, he's been pitching a lot of games.
So, you can argue should he have been available.
But it's like he had pitched four of five games.
And I know one was a day off in there, too.
But he's been used a lot.
Honestly, just like throw Weaver in the night.
I don't want to watch Gregory Soto in the eighth or ninth ever.
I got five more games.
And who pitches the eighth?
Throw Kirby Yates.
I don't give a shit.
Don't let me.
I don't want to watch Gregory Soto throw a baseball in this uniform ever again.
And I know he got through it.
But, my God, he is so brutal to watch.
What a terrible pitcher to watch.
He's just not fun.
He's not enjoyable.
Ball.
All right, we'll fight back to 3-2 every freaking at-bat.
He starts the inning with six straight balls.
He's such an ace.
So, again, I'm not discrediting you at all.
Like, but Yohan's an experience, too.
Like, Soto has fun.
Soto has been good more than he's been bad.
He had a rough stretch.
I know he has moments.
But he's been good more than he hasn't.
And tonight, like, I understand he gave six straight balls to start off his ninth inning save here.
But then he settles down and he gets it done.
two strikeouts, three outs, game over.
Soto has been pretty solid.
And that's why I want to ask this and bring this up.
Because, again, we're seeing the chart here.
A lot of people have been used and such in this moment.
Yates is, he's fresh off the IL.
So, he's available.
There's the DFA Duval today.
Yates is back.
Yates has been good, right?
Even with the Angels and coming over here with the Pirates has been good.
But he's fresh off the IL.
I guess the only argument I could have is, like, with you, maybe it's Yates and then Weaver for the ninth.
But I just don't want to watch.
Soto's also available.
You've got he's here.
You use your pictures.
And Soto, I think, just gets a lot of hate that is undeserved.
No, it's fully deserved.
He's just brutal to watch.
I don't care what the results are.
So is Yohan Ramirez.
Yohan Ramirez isn't getting paid $7.75 million in throwing the eighth and ninth inning.
Well, maybe he should.
It is bastardo all over again.
He's just so unenjoyable to watch throwaway baseball.
He's just so laborious.
And like Doug said, he just plays with his food too much.
Throw strikes.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
I just hate watching this guy throw a baseball.
He's so unenjoyable.
Well, you know what I enjoyed watching the Pirates get a victory with his 16th save of the season.
And that's what matters.
He got the job done.
That is all that matters.
And you know what else matters?
I only got five more games of watching that guy in this uniform and I can just not think about him ever again.
Because I was going to say, oh, I hate watching him.
With his 3.72 ERA and leave.
What was your Tyler?
What was it?
What was it?
I have it up here.
I'm just trying to find it.
3.799 was your over to under.
So right now he is under.
So right now Soto is under your over and under pick.
He's got one more.
Anyways, let's give away some sandwiches.
How's that sound?
Yeah, put me in a better mood.
We talked about Soto and now I'm angry.
All right, everyone.

We'll give those to you.
Tye?
Yeah, tomorrow.
Open game.
As is tradition this time of year.
I'm so tired of these bullpen games.
But with that being said, that means the FanDuel does not have a line out for us yet.
With that being said, the over-under of wins this year is up to 82.5, and that is minus 118, according to FanDuel.
So we are going upwards, and now we are above that 500 mark with five to play here.
We love you, Paul.
Yes, correct.
Are you taking the over right now?
And just like that, it switched to minus 115.
I think someone took it as soon as I said it.
Hey, sponsorship's working.
Here we go.
There it is, baby.
Math.
Math.
Yeah, then.
I don't know.
Someone either took it or took the under.
I don't remember which way it would work there.
Either way, it was done.
All right, we'll be back tomorrow.
Another post-game show.
Ty, this is you and I's last post-game together.
So I know we have more, but this is our last one together.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's me and...
As of that.
I know you ain't doing it Sunday.
So we're back tomorrow.
We'll see you guys later.
We love you all.
Bye-bye.
Peace out, Car Scouts.
All right.

Is the hate on Gregory Soto deserved, even with 16 saves and a 3.72 ERA?
