all that kind of good stuff. Jeff, I heard I was getting some tweets here this week. Oh, the A's aren't that bad. Swept by the Guardians who, like, hadn't won a game in a week. Since last time we talked, I don't think the Reds have won a game. Dude, they haven't even been close in a game. It's ludicrous how bad they are. They're three and 19 with a run differential of minus 65. But crazy. Like, I think we've got to tell you, like the Yankees were kind of middling and all of a sudden the Yankees and won nine and a row. Yankees are the best record in baseball. The Mets are what, 16 and 7 after beating the Phillies tonight. it's a good time to be in New Yorker, I suppose, in the baseball family. You know, it's good to be in the MLB front offices, too. You know they like that. They must be loving it. At least their broadcast partners do at the very least. I mean, you had 40,000 at the game in Toronto on Saturday night that I was watching like that.

1:30.5

I mean, the Blutis are really good.

1:28.6

So it's, it's been fun. The angels are good. The Dodgers are good. The Padres and Giants are good. A lot of the big name teams at least come out of the gate here in April. I guess we're in May now, but through April pretty well. It's almost as if if you invest in your product, you have a chance to win a little bit more.

1:45.4

And you know, but here's, I'm not even going. It's almost as if if you invest in your product, you have a chance to win a little bit more.

1:48.7

And you know, but here's, I'm not even going to it.

1:54.1

I'm just going to say, I'm happy to see, you know, if our stupid teams can't do well,

1:57.4

the teams that at least are trying are getting rewarded for doing so.

2:02.4

That's what I used to buy into this whole, oh, they're buying a championship nonsense. No, it's good. I'd rather they spend their money on that and then pocketing it. And they're not, they're not breaking rules. They're not skirting any rules. They're playing by the rules. And it's, but a lot of fantasy to talk about. There's a lot of stuff going on. lot of we had a lot of cuts today with the the rosters going down

2:00.9

two spots. Mostly it was kind of middling middle relievers, you know, that every team kind of carried a lot of pitchers. But Josh Lowe and Tampa Bay got sent down. I was, I know he'd been struggling, but I was a little surprised they did that. Considering they traded Meadows to open up that spot and then they, when they had to go go cut down they went Josh Lowe. Well, I think it does speak to the whole concept that they

2:40.7

cut him in order to make for Josh Lowe. I don't think that's true. I think it's they they traded

2:47.2

Meadows because they didn't want to pay Meadows because he was about to be extensive.

2:51.9

And it wasn't.

2:52.6

In their mind, he wasn't worth that price.
