Hello and welcome to the In the Pen podcast, a podcast about relievers, part of the

Pitcherless podcast network.

My name is Jake Crumpler, and as always, I'm joined by pitcherless, bullpen expert, Rick Graham,

and we are also joined by a special guest, fellow numbers guy, Kyle Bland. Kyle, how's it going?

Welcome back to the podcast.

Hey, thanks for having me on again, guys.

Things are going good.

We're just talking a little off the pod about baseball as well with a lot of new data.

So I've been pretty busy these last couple weeks, but I'm excited to come on and talk

about relievers today.

Totally.

Yeah.

And Rick, how are you doing? Ready to talk relievers as well? Or do you want to take a back seat and let me and Kyle go? Yeah, you and Kyle got this. I fully would listen to that

and trust that. But yeah, everything's going going great. You know, glad Kyle's here to join us.

Real quick, I just thought this was a pretty good story, fantasy baseball related, not

really related at all.

But, you know, I, the beginning of this season, there was a lot of discourse about, like,

what's the best format to play?

And honestly, whatever format you like the best, that's the best format. Just go honestly whatever format you like the best that's the

best format just go with that but and i know jake you're a big points guy i've become a big

points head-to-head fan as well just because of the the drama of it so this past week you know

going into sunday night uh i was down 12 points and all I had was Ian Hap.
