Top night filling, diet via hero, a live log enough to see yourself become a villain.

Went from the favorite to the most hated, but would you rather be underpaid or overrated?

More victories as for minor league coaches, and yeah, ready to touch you, we major you cop, broach you cop.

Hello and welcome to episode 1113 of Effectively Wildgate Baseball Podcasts from Vangrass,

0:22.5

presented by our Patreon supporters.
