Happy Sunday night, everybody. Welcome to the Rotowire fantasy baseball podcast. I am Scott Jansett.

Join as always on Sunday nights by Jeff Erickson. I am in a traveling locale here. So that's why you see a large number of books behind me that I have never read nor do I know what they are.

0:54.8

But Jeff, how are you this evening? We got a real baseball weekend to talk about. I'm pretty fired up about that. I don't lie. These are all your book, you know, these, those are your books. Your childhood books that you just blew through when you were just a bored young teenager. And that's just, you know, one shelf of six. So I, I would love to be that well read, Jeff. Yeah, I know. You are, but it's okay.

0:56.1

It's all online these days.

0:57.3

I'm doing well.

1:01.5

There's some other good ones out there too.

2:02.0

Brady Singer on the opposite side of that over game, which takes away that, okay, it's not a ballpark issue. So I don't know. I mean, you know, it's going to hurt me if over is bad. Just like it's going to hurt me if Tanner Bybee is as bad as he was on Saturday. So, But you know what?

1:58.5
