Fandcraft's baseball podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters

I am Jeff Sullivan. Fandcraft's joint is always by Ben Lindbergh

We are celebrating our first podcast recorded in the off season. Hello. Hi. Hi. I'm okay. You sound positively buoyant today

Could that be because you did not have to watch a long baseball game and immediately write about it last night?

But I'm not I'm not a dancer. I'm not a dancing person. Neither am I. Put music on, make a breakfast, dance in the kitchen. No, I mean look

I'm alone. My girlfriend was basically gifted a weekend trip to Hawaii by her boss. So she's just there by herself. Her boss couldn't go. So she's gone. So I'm celebrating my off season

Is a lonely person, but nevertheless I'm gonna miss baseball soon, but right now boy not not even a little bit.

Well, there comes a point in the off season where yeah, you miss it just as someone who loves baseball

And as someone who still has to write about baseball in the off season and it gets very difficult to do so at a certain point

But yeah, I mean, I don't know the postseason is exciting and in the media after math

I think a lot of people are very sorry for baseball to be over. I don't know if there are any fans and people who just watch baseball who are happy that it's over

But October can be grueling for people who are writing and podcasting about it. So there is a certain sense of relief there when you wake up the next day

And you know, there's no baseball game and at least in my case, I don't have to write anything about baseball. It's something of a load off

But I don't want to act as if we didn't enjoy what just transpired because we really did except for game 7. We didn't enjoy that so much.

Yeah, game 7 was kind of dull. We'll talk about that in a few minutes

And yeah, obviously this is coming from a different perspective if I were just a baseball fan

And I didn't have to write a three in the morning then I would think oh that was a lot of fun. I wish baseball would never end.

And I thought I look forward to the playoffs every year. It's a struggle. It's grueling and you kind of lose your evenings

But you know, it's all for a good reason. It's a lot of fun

But I am personally glad that the busiest part of the year is over after one month.
