The Astros are still in a scandal. The Sai Young and MVP award winners were announced

and we will talk about them.

What's going on everybody? Welcome back to Talking Based Ball. It's a podcast.

We talk about baseball, major league baseball. Sometimes Jake tries to talk about other sports

and we stab him in the throat with our words. My name is John Boyle. I'm coming to you from Harlem, New York.

I have my co-host Jake, the four mentioned dude who we stab sometimes, coming to you from Denver,

wearing his Breckenridge Colorado pocket patch salmon colored shirt that I am a big fan of. How you doing Jake?

Good color on me. Pinks and purples. They show well on my skin tone a woman at the Atlanta airport said once.

I'm good man. I mentioned Breckenridge. I think we're going to get our first ski in this weekend. Excited for that.

And yeah, I mean, how about I appreciate you said baseball in the news cycle. That's something I like. Good news or bad news.

A couple other people to say that. But yeah, shout out to football for trying to get into things by the player trying to rip a human's head off

and then beat him with the thing that was protecting here. We are talking football once again. I knew you liked that.

But I'm good man. Yeah, we've actually we've got a little bit of player movement. It kind of it's it's been under the radar with everything that's going on with the

Astorisks LMAO have you heard that one Jim? I have someone emailed me and said, am I the first to do this?

I it's it's so tough because you and I are like inundated to with to a blind degree with it. But it's now anytime anyone hits a table or there's a video of someone

drumming or even the football thing last night someone's like, oh, it must be a change up and it's like that joke was cool for 24 to 48 hours. I think we got to start getting better material out there.

Oh, yeah, I mean, people have already, but that's what people do. They can't think of new jokes. So they just hammer the jokes they've heard.

And I I think I do want to give a quick.

An apology to Astoris fans before we say probably more bad stuff about them coming up in a minute.

Dude, it's got to be bad for the diehard baseball fans that are Astro fans because there's no defending what's currently going on.

So the people that are defending on it are the breezy Astro fans that just want to talk trash on the internet and they're making them look awful right now.

Oh, yeah, the casual fans are always the ones that make your fan base look bad because they have nothing at stake. So they just talk out your butt.
