00:00 Blake Snell was a Cy Young award winner.
00:02 He's like coaching Little League Baseball or travel baseball, Matt, right now.
00:05 And it's very rare to have this situation going on.
00:09 And it does feel a little bit, with Snell in particular, like the Bryce Harper situation
00:14 from several years ago where he was waiting and Manny Machado was waiting.
00:17 I mean, this is an elite player in the game, maybe a little bit different than some
00:21 of the other prototypical aces who go eight innings and, you know, complete games.
00:25 I mean, it doesn't happen with Snell.
00:27 But he is going to have a huge impact on some team whenever he does tie.
00:30 >> Yeah, you got to think so.
00:33 And you always, I always wonder with pitchers, you know, you talk about being ready
00:36 for the start of the season, which I think as fans we think about a lot.
00:40 But you wonder how much the pitchers are like, well, you know, if I push it back a little bit,
00:45 that won't be the worst thing in the world.
00:47 And it's all about, you know, a 10-player like that is going to go to a really good team.
00:52 So they're worried more about the stretch run.
00:55 They're worried more about the postseason.
00:56 So if he has a little bit of a delayed start to the season,
00:59 I don't think they necessarily hate that.
01:01 So that's where it gets interesting.
01:04 Fan desire and team desire might be a little bit different sometimes in these cases.
01:09 But yeah, nonetheless, you still want the guy on your team.
01:13 You want to know what your rotation is going to be going into the season.
01:17 And you want to know who slots in where for sure.
