Welcome to another week of hacks and jacks.

I'm Brett Ford, joined by Scott Chu.

We're here to talk bats on pitcher list. Scott, how is your week of hacks and jacks. I'm Brett Ford joined by Scott Chu. We're here to talk

bats on pitcher list. Scott, how is your week of summer weather? Yeah, I mean, I was in Pittsburgh

all week. It was hot there. It was hot at home so I didn't miss out. You know, humid, hot,

muggy weather, but surviving, not melting, not getting sunburned, can't complain, just excited to have

baseball going on and, you know, seeing a lot of offense.

Yeah, that mugginess and that humidity really brings out the, you know, sends the ball flying

just a few yards further and it really benefits the bat.

So, you know, we love to, we love these dog days of summer as hitting guys.

Yeah, I mean, that's what we're after.

We're after big hits, especially, you know, it's, it's even more in the south where they,

like Texas, where they get that dry heat because then, you know, the ball dries out and it

weighs less.

It's all, all that stuff.

But either way, summer is when bats tend to heat up.

So that, that's kind of a theme going on in certain places right now.

Yeah, with all the mugginess up here, I need to install like a humidor in my house or

something.

This is crazy.

But we'll jump into some news and notes for this week.

Back from the IL, a couple guys back from the IL.
