Lottery numbers for the week of Aug. 20, 2017

<p><em>If you walk into any baseball clubhouse or locker room at any level &#8212; professional, college or even high school &#8212; there&#8217;s a good chance music will be blasting out of someone&#8217;s speakers. It could be country, rock, hip-hop and rap, R&amp;B, reggae or Latin music.</em></p><p><em>The same can be said as teams go through their pre-game workouts or players walk up to the plate or out of the bullpen. Music is everywhere in baseball and it&#8217;s extremely diverse.</em></p><p><em>Each week we&#8217;ll take a look at how music influences each player&#8217;s game.</em></p><p><strong>Joe Mantiply</strong></p><p><strong>LHP</strong></p><p><strong>Danville, Va.</strong></p><p><strong>Who plays the best music?</strong> I&#8217;d like to think myself. I do. Mason (Williams&#8217;) is the guy that plays most of the music, but I like to play a little bit of everything. A little bit of country, a little bit of hip-hop and just try to fit everybody&#8217;s needs.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s your pregame playlist?</strong> I just put it on my Spotify and put it on shuffle and just let it ride. If I like the song I stick with it. If not, I just change it.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s your walk-up song?</strong> I&#8217;ve never had one. I think when I was in Detroit they played an Eminem song. That was pretty cool. But other than that, I don&#8217;t really have a preference.</p><p><strong>Who has a walk-up song that sticks out?</strong> Cito (Culver) has my favorite song (&#8220;Through the Late Night&#8221; by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi). That would probably be my pick. I love the song that he has.</p><style>
