00:00A price point overnight of close to minus 400, which is hovering now between minus 380s and

00:05minus 375s, depending on where you're shopping at. That total overnight, 7.5, still sitting

00:10there right now. Why? Logan Webb is on the mound. 41 in the third innings pitch this season,

00:14a 2.83 ERA, but even better. His XFIP is 2.13. 50Ks on the season and a whip of 1.21.

00:22Did get beat up a little bit, Tom, in his last start, but then again,

00:25he's going up against the Rockies lineup today. Yeah, if there was any time for Logan Webb or

00:32any time and matchup for Logan Webb to bounce back, it would be today. He is one of the best

01:23him, not a good pitcher, coming in with a, what is it, a 530 XFIP this year. It's all Giants today.
