00:00But I want to go to the Rangers rotation versus the best rotation I will say in the American
00:20League.
00:21Mariners.
00:22They are also in the West.
00:23Yeah.
00:24And that is the Mariners.
00:26on opening day.
00:27As long as everybody's healthy.
00:29All-star Luis Castillo.
00:30All-star Logan Gilbert.
00:31I believe all-star George Kirby, future really great pitcher and maybe made the all-star
00:35team last year.
00:36Bryce Miller.
00:37And then they got this guy named Brian Wu who had a really good year last year is their
00:42number five.
00:43Their number five starting pitcher last year pitched 121 in third innings, 96 hits, 13
00:51walks, 101 strikeouts with a 289 ERA and a whip of .90.
00:56Oh, yes.
00:59That is arguably their best and they have them projected as starting the fifth game
01:04of the year.
01:05Wow.
01:06Now I just gave you their number five starters numbers and I think they're interchangeable.
01:10I don't want to say they have five number ones.
01:12That's too extreme.
01:13But they have five really good to great starting pitchers.
01:17Wanted Castillo so bad a couple years ago.
01:20I was like, this dude is a strikeout pitcher here.
01:23He was fourth in innings pitched for them last year at 175 in a third.
01:29When I go to the Rangers, Nathan Evaldi led the team in innings at 170.2.
01:38This is the Rangers second best starting pitcher last year was Andrew Heaney who's still a
01:44free agent but probably not going to be on the Texas Rangers.
