First pitch at 640 someone who you're going to see in center field. You're going to see batting seventh is Cedric Mullins and Cedric joins us now. And first off said want to hit the event Sunday at Topgolf Big League impact. It was an awesome, awesome event raised nearly $27,000 for the city of refuge. Baltimore. I want to thank only Moran's Merit properties, the Pete store, RBR technologies and Corey Alexander for sponsoring. But just your thoughts on the event Cedric and just the ability to interact with all those fans. No, again, thank you for having me. It was a super cool event. And like you said, I think it's a sponsors for helping get all that set up. It was awesome. We had a great time really engaging with the fan base. Well, you know, hitting some golf balls off a little friendly competition. You know, just a little bit everything and the guys that came out to help support the event had a great time as well. They were talking about it the next day and that was just really fun. Well, Cedric, I mean, the baseball is crazy. We had Austin on last week promoting the event. Austin was one of the signature guys, you know, who was a part of this. And then obviously Austin's traded to Philadelphia. And he talked us a little bit last week about, you know, you try to block everything out, but you're human, you know, and it is sort of an interesting time in the baseball calendar. Like you guys, anybody right could be, Wayne Gretzky was traded. Babe Ruth was traded, like, what was the last three or four days like for you guys? It was kind of controlled chaos. You know, like you said, it's one of those moments where it is in the back of our mind because we do want to keep up with, you know, what's going on in the workplace, but at the same time on the other end of it, we're out there to play baseball, compete and win with the team that we're with. So it's just one of those weird feelings where you have things to be changing in the blink of an eye for any one of us, but our staff at hand was still to go out there and win some games. I mean, you and Austin have been together so long through a lot of thick and thin individually, right? At various points of your climb to the majors and then you're a cent to the majors where you guys have both, you know, been all stars. Like how difficult is it not to have him riding with you anymore? And I'm guessing you've had a chance to chat with him since the trade. Yeah, it's something that even when we were younger, it was one of those things where it's like we would want this to be to go on for as long as possible. We know the odds of that. We're always somewhat low, but you just never knew. So, you know, for that move to finally be made, you know, I have talked to him a little bit, but, you know, we've kind of let each other have our space and kind of process everything that's been going on. There's still where many moves to be made and just kind of keying in, locking in on, you know, the changes. You know, he, you know, moving into the entire family of the Philly is a lot. So, you know, wasn't going to bombard you like that, but, you know, seeing him settle in pretty well out there and, you know, me continuing to make my improvements here with the team. It's been fun to watch. We're speaking to Cedric Mullins at Inside Access on the family. Cedric Mike Elias was very busy. The Orioles made several additions. What have you thought of the your new teammates? Yeah. The guys are still filtering in now. You know, it's I haven't had a chance to meet everybody yet. I still don't think I've come across Rogers or Menes. It's been crazy. So, I know the dust is going to be settling here pretty soon with everyone getting to their designated teams, but it's going to be fun to get to know these guys. You know, been playing against them for a few years and you never really know your competition. So, it's just one of those things where it's cool to, you know, meet some new guys, get a feel for their personalities and go out there and compete hard with them. Cedric, you referenced, you know, you being, you know, locked in right now and what you've done individually to kind of turn your season around. It feels like as a group, like just watching the last four or five games, maybe verse some of the ones previous feels like a lot more line drives, you know, a lot more sort of power alley to power alley, maybe shorter swings at times, like a lot of damage being done even when the ball doesn't leave the yard. Yeah, I mentioned it to our media a few days ago. I said, we just need to get to that brand of baseball that we're used to putting out there. You know, being being tough out in the box, you know, drawing our wall still in basis. The power is going to be there. We, you know, we always know that, but it's being able to manufacture those runs when we need them. And then we have those big innings with the long balls involved. That's our game. So to get back to that the past few days, it's been very encouraging for us and we continue to keep that going. Cedric, it was a really bittersweet day yesterday. You guys just won your fourth game fourth win in five games, but unfortunately losing Jordan Westbrook for an extended period of time fractured right hand. Just your reaction to the news. Yeah, you know, it's definitely disappointed in the news and, you know, hoping West is doing all right, you know, that can that can take a toll on the person that it happened to as well, let alone the team just because of the season that he was putting together. You know, in terms of what's next, it's it's that next man up mentality, unfortunately. But, you know, it's just a matter of that stepping up into into, you know, a couple of bigger roles and, you know, being able to replicate the production, you sit down. Cedric Dave, obviously Major League Baseball has sort of altered the landscape of the postseason with the extended wild cards and it impacted the trade deadline. Last year, we saw it impact October, right? A lot of the wild card teams. Well, heck, both the final two standing were wild cards. And we've asked different people about this Brett Boone among others. Like, obviously you want to win the division. But at this point, is it just more about getting in the dance than anything else? Like, have they sort of, I don't want to say devalued, but have they put maybe a little less of a premium on actually being the quote unquote one seed versus maybe just being able to play baseball on a regular basis as soon as the playoffs start? Uh, I can't really speak on that as a whole, but what I can say is we want to take first place regardless of what that looks like as opposed to, you know, it's, uh, it's just continuing to put our best way forward and just continue to show our dominance as a team. I think that's kind of what the goal for everyone is, whether you're in a wild card position or not, like maintaining first place, uh, makes you a threat. You know, regardless of what the playoff situation looks like at that point. We're speaking to Cedric Mullins. It's inside access on the fan. Cedric got to get your thoughts on James McCann. I mean, that was one of the more scary scenes that you will ever see in a baseball game. But I mean, did you think there was any way he was staying in that baseball game? I mean, bad ass doesn't do justice to James McCann. Yeah, that that was that was one of the crazier moments. I think I've seen in a game on what a long time for him to literally wear a ball off the face. And because of how long it took him to, you know, come off the field just to get that additional look. I had a gut feeling that he was going to try to stay in. You know, it was scenario at hand. You know, we were playing a double head of that day. Uh, you know, if he's not in that game, then rush us to catch two, which obviously get tired, do it out. So he, he stepped up big time for us in that scenario and, you know, he, uh, he really showed us what he was made of. And I think that carried over to, you know, what the mentality is with the teams. Like we are a bunch of grinders. We're gritty and we're going to continue to ball out with God. So the situation, Cedric will Anthony Santander hit 50 home runs. I think Tony can do what he wants. That man has been on an absolute terrorist and fun to watch. It's always crazy when he gets going, especially after, you know, a slower start, then he's probably used to, for him to pick it up like he did, it's been nothing short of impressive. Cedric, before we let you go, are there, we know the event just passed with big league impact, but are there any other ways that people could get involved with big league impact? Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, you can go to, you can find their website online. I'm not mistaken, it's daily impact dot org. I'll have to verify that. I don't have the website. We'll double check it with double check it. Yeah, but, uh, you know, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Like I said, you can donate the specific causes. If you want to do their, uh, their website kind of gives you some guidelines as to how you can be a part of it. And they're also nationwide. So it's not like we're there specific to, uh, Baltimore. They're, they're all over the place. So they're helping people across the nation across the world. So there's plenty of involvement, uh, opportunities. You nailed it. Big league impact. Or Cedric, we really appreciate it, man. Um, and we'll be watching tonight. Thanks so much. Hey, thank you guys for having me. I have a great one. Thank you. You too. Yeah. I'm on the website now. I mean, there's different events and different markets going on campaigns. They've got fantasy football. Yes. You can be in fantasy football leagues with major league ball players. You can just make straight up donations to big league impact. Again, big league impact dot org. It, it was an awesome event. Just seeing, and there were probably gosh eight or nine players coming out. Um, and again, that's a really tricky time for a lot of guys. I mean, no, I, I, I thought it was a great turn. And the players, you know, interacting with the fans and also the city of refuge. Baltimore. I mean, an awesome, awesome charity that $27,000 went towards, uh, really, uh, great, a great cause there coming up next. We'll hit league at large. Deshawn Watson continues to say idiotic things and has zero self awareness. And also match you down situation in New England. Is he long for the Patriots? We'll get into it next on inside.

I think honestly is really just, you know, blocking out all the bullshit. Honestly, outside, you know, it was tough coming in two years. Different environment, different team, different all that. So, you know, you come in and, you know, your character's been mentioned this way. And then, you know, it kind of slipped on you. And the biggest thing you're trying to get people to like you are improved. But now it's like, you know, at the end of the day, it's two years in. And if you don't, you know, like me or you have your own opinions, then forget it is what it is. You know, so I think blocking out all the noise and focusing on me and focusing on what I need to do. It'd be the best to Sean Watson. I could be for myself, my family and my teammates. We joke a lot about Russell Wilson lacking self-awareness, but he's just a goofball. Yeah. So, Sean Watson is just a comeback and he lacks self-awareness because he's trying not to cause not a good person at all. His ego tonight, to say the least, dude, like how his response to this is the victim. Yeah, this happened to me. And as a result, I need to be even more selfish and insular and focus even more on myself. Then I did through this whole, I'm using his mentality or deal that was thrust upon me. I mean, just think about basically what he was inferring there. Like he was inferring. Yes, that he was the victim of some sort of plan to destroy his character and what people thought of him. And as a result, he needs to pay less attention to what those people were saying and focus even more on himself. Where the reality is, he was so selfish, so predatory, so indiscriminate with how many women he made at the very, very least feel incredibly uncomfortable. And the lengths he went to to continue propagating that for as long as he did, it was always about him. It wasn't about the team, it wasn't about others, it wasn't about those women or their families. It was always about his pursuit of gratification and he got exposed and he still can't take any ownership of it. And if you think that doesn't affect how he conducts himself on a football field or who he is in a locker room or who he is in a huddle, who he is as a human being, who he is as the face of that franchise, you're out of your mind. It's all interconnected and he's a loser and they will continue to lose. He doubles down, triples down, quadruples down, he's never ever, ever, ever shown any remorse for the situations and it's disgusting. And he's been an abject failure of signing a move by Jimmy Haslam and the Browns and fully guaranteed money and it's an albatross of a contract and he sucks. He's had one good half that came in Baltimore last year, he's had one good half of football in a Cleveland Browns uniform and I hope he continues to fail. Yeah, I just played an alternate bet on the Browns a couple nights ago, under six and a half wins, I got a plus 378. Well, a team that's going to be very bad this upcoming year are the Patriots and John Mayo, taking over his head coach of New England, said that he had a great meeting with Matt Judon and that the sides are moving forward. Mayo said, I remember as a player, it's always a difficult time when you go through contract negotiations and things like that. I have a great relationship with Matthew. I have a great relationship with the players we're moving forward. That was before a whole break loose, though, right? Because now we've had Judon's not practicing and this was this morning. Oh, he's selling that now. He's selling that now in the middle of the holdout at 11 a.m. Yes. Mike Rice. Look, John Mayo's already got a lot enough on his plate having to take over for Bill Belichick. It's also interesting. Mayo did an interview and they asked him if Bell checks offered any advice or helped him at all and he said, no, he's pretty much actively rooting for the guy to fail. Oh, he's doing podcasts and we'll talk to Lucy Bird. Yeah. Look, he's got enough going on. They're going to suck with her without Matt Judon. It's a long term proposition to dig out of the hole that Bill Belichick put them in. He's going to be dealt. There's just, there's no like Elliot Wolf. Like the people running that organization who remember it's first time for them to because Belichick was doing everything. He was the GM and the head coach. Like, bone. I just don't think. Look, Gigi and I talked about this two weeks ago when he finally reported the camp. I didn't think he was going to be there by the deadline. Then I'm not sure he's going to be there by roster cut downs. Now, and they the Raven should go get him. I think it's malpractice by their organization. If they don't get him out of them because you're going to be terrible with him with him or without and why give a contract extension to a pass. He's one of your higher paid guys. You're supposed to be a leader and he doesn't want to be there clearly. No, he does not. And someone that Mr. E. D. C. should be in on that one. A hundred percent. Someone that views himself as a leader is Aaron Rodgers in there. There's been some back and forth between him and Garrett Wilson and Rodgers explained himself. Well, I do love the vante for sure. That particular guy was a tad bit irritating. I would say it was one of those things where it's like when you just like somebody's asking the same question over and over and over. This was kind of just give him something and get rid of him. Yeah, but I think I was talking about golf. So he was at a celebrity golf tournament and it's the big one they do every year. Rick Roden used to win it every year, the former Pirates pitcher. Anyway, like Tony Romo is always one of the main golfers there. It's former athletes and they have this big golf tournament up in Lake Tahoe. And so one of the guys, the media there was walking the course, asking about the vante Adams and then Aaron Rodgers, like, yeah, you know, I want to play with him. That started the whole news cycle for weeks about, you know, will the Jets trade for the vante Adams? And then there is Aaron Rodgers, typical, like Aaron Rodgers, blaming the reporter for asking the question, not blaming himself for creating two weeks of distractions for Robert Sala. He loved it. And pissing off, I guess, Garrett Wilson in the process because now there's been all this hoopla about, well, does the vante Adams want to go to the Jets and will the Jets trade for the vante Adams? But it couldn't have any to do with Aaron Rodgers being the guy who said, yeah, you know, I want to play with him again. It's the reporter's fault. Always is someone else for Aaron Rodgers. Later on the hour, all the young dudes, Colton Kouser. Ever since he's been put into the lead-off role, heck, even before then, he's been raking. Can he continue it? We'll talk about that at 3.45, but coming up next. It's a Thursday. So Lucy Burge is going to be joining us. We'll get the latest on Bill Belichick, who just loves media now. He's going to participate in a podcast talk, maybe some Olympics with the Burge, her red socks that she's still thinking world series for them. Lucy Burge is next on the fan. We're going to get back into the O's after the upcoming break, Colton Kouser. He's back on a heater. Can he continue to ride it? We'll get into that in a few, but joining us now. It's a Hall of Famer. She's Lucy Burge. You know her. You love her. Lucy, Bill Belichick hated media during his time in the NFL. And now that he is one of us, he can't get enough of it. He's doing a podcast now. Yeah, this is wild. Good afternoon. Yeah, now he is the media. And I've seen some media members not too thrilled about that, who wants whom he treated with disdain during his time. But I do see some differences here. So he spoke to media members the way he did, one to cover the team, one to report on the team. And I don't know if he's going to be doing reporting per se. So I see a difference here. And I am not. I don't think there is a double standard here. I think he is a member of the media. I feel more for entertainment and first-hand informational purposes. I feel like there's a difference here with that. But I think he is enjoying doing Pat McAfee and doing media appearances. And so that led to him wanting to do this podcast. And you can tell he's getting enjoyment out of it. And he really loves doing it because we never see him smile unless he's doing stuff like this. It's crazy. But this makes me think what he will be doing on this podcast makes me think he will return to coaching after this season. And he will return as soon as possible. I mean, as soon as the job opens up, perhaps, maybe with the Cowboys, something like that, maybe. But with this podcast, he will be kind of like as a few coaching. What I assume it to be is like not a video game, but like simulated coaching. And he clearly misses it. He clearly misses football. He clearly wants to stay in football. And I think he will be open to coaching jobs after this. And I don't see him as a sign that he will retire completely from coaching in the NFL. No, and he has a cheerleader helping him along. So we endeavor to see what where Bill Belichick ends up when he ends his his media tour. I'm not sure if this made its way to your radar, loose. I hadn't heard about it till my buddy Carl Dukes was telling me about it on the podcast we do together in the huddle. So there was an interview with Gerard Mayo recently, and he was asked about like how helpful Bill Belichick's been in the transition or, you know, if Bill's been a resource for him. And he basically was like, yeah, I haven't not so much like haven't really heard from him. Do you think Bill Belichick is just kind of hoping that the Patriots remain in the muck because then that way maybe it absolves him a little bit or like at least they didn't get better. You know, when I left because obviously it got worse when Brady left. So do you think he's secretly rooting for it to get even worse with him gone? Oh, absolutely. And if I was Bill Belichick, I would too, because they fired you. They said and made a fool of you. Yes, I absolutely think that he wants the Patriots to win zero games this season. And I would too. If I was him, I think Tom Brady, when he went to Tampa, he wanted the Patriots to be bad without him because he wants to want people to and as they do refer to him as the one who saved the whole region, saved the whole team from disaster, which is what happened. Everything fell apart as soon as Tom Brady left. And I think Tom Brady got massive satisfaction out of that. And I don't think that's even a question really. I mean, of course he loved it. The very first play of the Buccaneers game, Brady's very first game with the Buccaneers. He ran in the touchdown like Cam Newton did earlier in the day that day. They know he knew exactly what the Patriots were doing every single week and kept tabs on them every single game. Belichick, I think, will be doing the same thing and rooting for them to not win at all. If I was Bill Belichick, I wouldn't talk to draw mail at all. If it's any advice, nothing. Because they thought, I would say if I was Bill Belichick, I would say, well, you fired me. So you don't need me. So clearly, you don't need me anymore. So I would not even, I wouldn't even give any advice at all. Shouldn't this be a little different? Like hate craft, right? And clearly, he despises craft. I mean, that was one of the subplots of the Brady roast. But like, Mayo busted his ass for him as a player. You know what I mean? Like Mayo's one of his guys. Like Mayo led his locker room. Mayo led his defense. Mayo rose as a coach under him. Like Belichick's all of his coaches have failed. Like, couldn't he root for one of them to succeed? Like, couldn't he hope somebody on his family tree isn't an abject failure? What about that part of it? What about the human part of it where it's like, hey, man, that guy busted his ass and helped me do what I did. I could at least help him a little bit. Like, I could at least return his phone calls. You would think, but then you've got to Rod Mayo up there calling you an introductory press conference calling Robert crapt thundercat. And like, we're best friends. I have this tremendously weird nickname for him. And so they're great friends. So it seems Rod Mayo is a team Robert craft. And I mean, obviously he's the guy who. Yes, but if I'm Belichick above everything else is I was fired and helping draw Mayo at this point helped Robert crapt. So absolutely no. I am not giving any advice to the Patriots. And I would say, you know, cut ties done ties with the Patriots because he was just fired. It's got to be still raw. Even though I think what he is doing is, I mean, is that a more fun job? Maybe. Does he still get paid a lot? Yes. So should he be probably happy with what he's doing? Yes. So there's a revenge factor in that maybe, but also if this is true that Robert crapt is telling teams don't hire Bill Belichick. I am disgusted if I am Belichick and I have want nothing to do with the Patriots organization as long as Robert crapt owns the team. Don't cross Lucy Burch. You're speaking a little bit. It's inside access on the fence. Blood feud. Now I'm going to go in a vastly different direction. I apologize. Obviously I wasn't here last week to talk to you. I know this happened last week, but I've wanted your opinion of it. Trash talking in sports is, you know, it's huge. I mean, it happens every single game. Cal Quantrell's dig on Reese Maguire, not suitable for work. If you haven't seen it, just Google it. That's, that's like next time, right? That's an all time. Number one top of the list of trash talk in the history of sports because this, the Reese Maguire, what he did is something that I frequently wonder. Do other players mention it to him? Right. They may think of when, because this was in the news. It was in the New York Post. It was maybe, it was probably international, you think, because of the team you played for at the time. But I wonder if players, is it the first thing they think of when they see him? Clearly it is. Clearly it is because Cal Quantrell had that ready to go to his face. Not only said it to him, but said it on television, television. This is exactly what I wanted to just know for a fact. If this is something players ever bring up to him and said it very clearly, you don't have to be a lip reader to see what he said to Reese Maguire. And the players reaction to it, the Red Sox players, where they were waiting outside of the home team clubhouse to fight, I'm assuming, and they were waiting out by the buses reportedly, and there was reportedly some concern because both teams were leaving. The Rockies were also leaving, so they were both going to the airport. So would something pick up at the airport fight wise. This was the greatest trash talking I've ever seen, ever seen. Because you have this opportunity to say this to this guy, and everyone's like, "Oh my God, I wonder if anyone ever mentioned that they do." They think about it, and they know, and they are ready to go with some of the clouds yelling at him. I don't know what led to this, but I think it will make for a very good sequence of events in the Netflix show that will be following the Red Sox's Netflix cameras. I'm assuming caught all of this, so I would hope, I would hope so. Smooth transition from that into your dong predictions. You are Queen of Dongs. What is your pick today? Yes, I am hoping to regain my crown from my Vetslips and Vetslips co-host, Jake Asan, 2 p.m. to 230 Eastern every day on the Vetscule Network. He has hit multiple home runs in a row. It was up to five, I believe, at a little dip in that yesterday. Maybe not, but I am hoping to regain that crown with Bobby Whit Jr. to hit a home run. He has one home run in his last three games, 19 this season, in the month of July. He hit 4.89, batting 4.89 last month, which was the fifth highest average in a calendar month in Major League Baseball since 1930. So he is making a little bit of history in July. I hope we can carry it into August. He is facing Kydder Montero, who gave up three home runs in his last start, and five over his last two starts. So I think Bobby Whit Jr. can hit a home run tonight. Yeah, I like the Royals on the run line in that game as well. Seth Lusio, I think they're eight and three in his road starts and they've won pretty much all of them on the run line. Very nice. Tigers not scoring many runs without Riley Green. Check out Lus, some of the right handed bats of the Guardians, what they do against left handed pitching at home, and then check out Trevor Rogers road splits, not Miami where the ball doesn't carry. I think it's eight home runs and 52 innings pitched on the road. I think righties are have like an OPS and nine something against him on the road. Ramirez could be a lead edition. Stephen Kwan, maybe for two hits, even though he's lefty, he destroys lefties, especially at home. Just saying. Naylor. Yeah. Yep. Guardians are 24 and eight against left handed pitching. She's, she's Lucy Burge, Queen of the Dongs Lucy. Thank you. Thank you. Talk next week. Thank you very much. You guys are the best. I will talk to you guys next week. Thank you. Kylie McDaniel. He's going to be joining us at the top of the hour. We're going to be talking trade deadline, farm system with Kylie. He works for ESPN. But coming up next, all the young dudes, Colton Cowser. He is absolutely mashing in the lead off spot. Is he going to be able to keep it up? We'll get into it next on Inside Access. Don't look now, but Colton Cowser is the odd zone favorite to win American League Rookie of the Year. It's juiced odds. How about that door right now? Yes. And Colton Cowser since the All-Star break and maybe he benefited from the break more than anyone else on this team. 13 game sample size, his slash line 380, 429, 660 slug for an OPS of nearly 1100. Jason. This is nothing short of a revelation for the Orioles. And it comes at a time when it's incredibly needed, especially now with the Jordan Westbrook news. And we've really only had four bats that they trusted on a regular basis and four sort of regular everyday run producers and now one of them's down. And look, Gunner was scuffling in the lead off spot anyway. But especially with this Westbrook news, even if Gunner was still clicking at lead off, I think they would have felt some onus to move the bat back to increase the opportunities that hit with people on base. So you would have been looking for a new lead off guy either way. And last year when they faced tough lefties, it would be Austin Hayes, no longer an Oreo, or Adley Rochman hasn't hit unless he's dehced as the lead off guy. So I don't think that was in the card. So this is vital for them right now. He's only been a lead off guy five times, but he's got two homers, four RBIs and an OPS of one thousand and eleven. And I have major reservations about him for a two month sample size where he didn't, when he did hit, it was only fast balls. He was striking out at an alarming rate. And yes, there was a lot of loud contact, but he couldn't hit breaking balls and he couldn't hit off speed pitches. He was the major league stack cast worst hitter against the change up for most of the season. And bone what I'm loving is Colton Calzer in July against breaking balls, nine of twenty four, three extra base hits, two home runs, three seventy five batting average six sixty seven slug off of breaking balls in July. And May and June combined against breaking balls, six of forty seven, just two extra base hits, both doubles. In May and June, he batted one twenty eight off breaking balls and he slug one seventy again this month. Well, the month just passed July three seventy five average six sixty seven slug. I don't think he's going to maintain that. No, but can it, can the regression be. Normal, can the regression be like limited? Well, he's, and really not even to the level of the terror that he had the two three week stretch in April, but right now he's on a fantastic terror. And I'm with you where he fell off a cliff after that stretch in April, where now naturally there is going to be regression, but can you at least be, you know, above average average hitter. And a guy that even going back to last year, and this kind of bodes well for that lead off spot, who will take pitches. Yes, and we've seen him, and that was one of the things he did in an expert level last year when he wasn't hitting at all. He still was routinely, you looked at his numbers, pitches seen per at bat, and it was at an elite rate. He clearly is more confident right now. We know there is inherent power there. And again, his hard hit numbers have been off the charts. Can he cut down on the swing and miss a little bit more? And can he work counts to where he kind of, they can't throw the kitchen sink at him, right? Because again, fastballs, cutters, he's been great against all year. Even when his overall numbers were dipping horribly, you know, if you dug down on fastballs and cutters, it was still far better than anything else. You know, this is huge. And if he can be relatively consistent over these final 50 games, that's going to be huge. And you look at their outfield, you know, like slaters, I mean, I don't know, like he hit lefties, we'll see, whatever, like, I think Austin Hayes and Cedric Mullins are going to be in this lineup a lot together, especially. I'm like, yes, Cedric Mullins were Cedric Mullins and Colton Calzer. I think you're going to see them alternate between center and and left quite a bit. I don't think Santander is getting too many days off other than DH days, but so that's that. I think, you know, I think the outfield, if this is remotely sustainable because Mullins has been really hot lately too. You look at his last 30 games, like maybe the outfield gets a little less platoonish, like maybe we're leaning more into the main thing. And remember, the worst part of their marathons behind them, they're off again on Monday. They got an off day on the road, like, it's not as growing as it was, especially with that double header now behind them. At 4.15, we're going to hit the hot corner. We're going to reset Jordan Westbrook's injury, who could really replace him at 3rd and at 2nd. We'll give you the lineup. And also, Orioles made a flurry of roster moves because all of the trade acquisitions they've been put on the active 26-man roster. But coming up next, Kylie McDangle, fan graphs really high on what the Orioles did at the trade deadline. Did the Orioles do enough at the trade deadline for Kylie McDangle? And also, he knows the prospects and farm systems inside and out. Who could be that prospect that Michael I is traded away that could sting the most? We'll get Kylie's thoughts on that next on Inside Access. Trying to figure out what to eat for dinner yet again?
