## Resource

Ken Rosenthal has observations following the first weekend of baseball in 2026. The Yankees and Blue Jays are both hot out of the gates thanks to dominant pitching. (top of show) (3:16) The kids are alright: Chase DeLauter, JJ Wetherholt, Owen Caissie and Munetaka Murakami all had weekends to remember. (6:28) Plus, why the Pirates might have an Oneil Cruz problem in center field. (8:43) Inside Dish unpacks the ABS’ successful first weekend that adds another layer to on-field scrutiny. (16:50) Grillin’ Ken answers your questions, including possible overreaction to Andrew McCutchen in Texas, Phillies lineup, if ABS will eventually go to 3 challenges, if Murakami is better than we thought and if Ken is worried about Bo Bichette.
