| 0:21.7 | matchup between the Cardinals and Giants being played at Rick Woodfield in Birmingham. |
| 0:26.6 | We're going to take a look at some teams that we're buying for rebounds, teams that are |
| 0:30.5 | under 25% in terms of their playoff odds as of today, that we still think have a chance of |
| 0:36.8 | turning things around and playing |
| 0:38.7 | postseason baseball got a game plan segment today we're going to talk about how we would |
| 0:42.4 | prepare to hit against louise heel or more specifically how we would prepare other people |
| 0:46.9 | to hit against louise heel because frankly even with our game plan I don't think any one of |
| 0:51.4 | the three of us have a chance against louise heel we'll take a few questions from the live hive along the way. Trevor, how's it going? I saw you used your gold pass this week. That has to feel good. It was a lot of fun. I got to go to a Mariners game and watch another, you know, like three runs scored total. It was fun, though. It was a game. We were in line to get in, like, right at first pitch, and then |
| 1:12.5 | we didn't get into, like, the top of the third because that game blew by. It was like 8 o'clock |
| 1:16.1 | in the seventh inning. So, but it was a great atmosphere, a lot of fun. And I sat next, |
| 1:23.4 | I sat right behind a subscriber to rates and barrels, which is pretty cool. |
| 1:28.4 | That's awesome. |
| 1:28.8 | He goes, are you, Tremery? I love your guys' show. So shout out. I actually didn't get his name. It happened very quickly. Then he turned around and then didn't say anything for the rest of the game. But we do appreciate it. Yeah, really appreciated. How are you doing today? You know? I'm doing good. This crazy-ass week, it needs to die. |
| 1:45.0 | I've had the children by myself and on a summer schedule, which has been really tough on the podcast, because I have to drop the kids off and pick them up again and all that camp stuff. |
| 1:59.5 | And my wife is home. In fact, next week i will be a bachelor they will be off at baseball camp and i will be all alone at home so there'll be no problems so you're going to take naps like we're still going to start the show a little later because you're going to sleep in i'm going to finish the gentleman I'm going to finish all the things that I can't watch around the kids. You're like, boy, you got a few seasons of Letterkenny still lined up? Yes. Going to finish Letter Kenny. That was the best part about playing. Watching shows I wanted to watch on the road. That was the big part. I'm struggling with that too. |
