Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. We got a week's worth of games to recap. We got

some trades that have happened, some trades that are looming, some ejection, some name changes.

Let's do it!

Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball brought to you by Draft Kings. Thank you very much for joining us today. My name's Jimmy. His name is Jake. I'm from California. I'm a producer BBD in the corner and boy.

Do we have some things to talk about today? Very excited to do so. Lots going on. As Trev noted in our pre-episode discussion, some of the games feel like they took place three weeks ago.

As baseball is starting to really start to roll downhill now, Jake, how are you doing? James Trevor, Big Baby David, everyone live in the chat. Hope everyone is doing well today. Me and Jimmy had a nice little secret mission this morning. Can't talk about it. We'll never talk about it. Don't ask us to talk about it.

We're not going to talk about that. Luckily, that's the weekend. We'll get to marinate that one. But I'm doing all right, man. I'm excited to have a half regular weekend. This is one of my few this summer that are that way. So I mean, Olympics, Ted Lasso, baseball, trade deadline. Like we are. We are in it, folks. So I'm doing pretty well. Trevor, Ploof, my good friend. How are you?

Don't refer to me as your good friend for the rest of the day. Your band from that. Jake and I had a little bit of an argument. If you haven't watched our loop sponsored Blitzball game. Go ahead and check that out on our YouTube channel. Jake is making some wild accusations about it. So you'll see why, I guess.

People over like what what accusations can he make that was a clean game, but you found some other than that though I'm doing great. I'm excited to talk about these games.

You know, lot of stuff going on like Jimmy said it's it's going downhill trades are here name changes.

And I said a couple days ago it's a little too early for standings watch, but that's only like a week or two weeks away that we can really start getting into the standings. And that's like the fun as part of the baseball season. So here we are to talk about baseball. Jimmy, how are you doing?

I'm doing all right, man. I ripped out the carpet in my basement last night on a whim. So yeah, yeah.

In it a little bit. How so homeowners stuff.

Yeah, now is down there. And carpet wasn't it was it a bad carpet job.

Well, it smelled when we got the house like a little moldy or just old, you know, so we got to end they had a cat and I'm really, really allergic to cats. So we had Stanley steamers come and wash the whole carpet.

But there's no windows because down in the basement and they didn't like do any fans or didn't take any measurements to dry it out. So I went down there last night during the accident to set up my desk and make some breakdowns.

And I almost threw up because it smelled like the birthplace of mold. And it was just so wet and been like 40 hours since it happened. So I got my little box cutter because we had all the boxes out and I just sliced it and ripped it all up and threw it to the garage.

And because I figured if I didn't it was just going to get grosser and grosser and eventually I just want hardwood anyway. So I was like if I do this right now, there's no denying the need for hardwood.

You know, I can't delay this project if I just take this carpet and rip it up.

There you go. Yeah. Katie only knows me as a guy who lives in either apartments or like one year places.

And that person would never put any work into that place or apartment because why the hell would you do that? So she's kind of shocked that like I can do things but my dad is the biggest do things person in the world.

So growing up it was like let's build this. Let's fix this. Let's build this. So I'm excited to get my home ownership on.
